At our early learning childcare centre, we believe that children learn best through engaging, hands-on experiences. That’s why we offer a variety of incursions and internal programs designed to enhance their development in a fun and meaningful way. These programs provide unique opportunities for children to explore new skills, build confidence, and foster a love for learning. Our programs are structured in a way to build school readiness across all rooms.
Our enriching programs include:
At Goodstart Lynbrook, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners. 
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.  
At our Lynbrook centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our three and four-year-old kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school.
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:  
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

I started my journey with Goodstart in 2014 and have worked at various centres in different roles like Room Leader and Educational Leader.
Since November 2019, I started working at Goodstart Lynbrook as the Assistant Director and have worked as a teacher in Pre-Kindergarten and Kinder for the past two years.
I moved to Australia in 2007 to further my studies and completed a Master’s degree in information systems from Swinburne University and became a Business Analyst. After having my first child in 2010, I decided to work in early childhood education and completed my Diploma in Early Childhood and later on completed my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education from RMIT University.
Being a mum of two children who are 14 and 10 years old, I strongly believe that your child’s first experiences in early childhood education should be positive; and their experiences in early childhood can help to support their development and wellbeing.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
Thank you!
