I am Barbara, the Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning McKinnon. With over 18 years of experience as an early learning educator, I hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of all age groups, and prior to becoming the Centre Director, I was a Kinder Teacher. Since joining Goodstart McKinnon in 2011, I have been committed to providing the best possible care for the children in our center.

My philosophy is centered around creating a happy, safe, and stimulating environment for the children in our care. I strongly believe that a quality early learning experience in the first years of life has a lasting impact on a child's overall wellbeing. To achieve this, it is crucial to partner with families and maintain open lines of communication. As the Centre Director, I am always available to parents and our team of educators.

As a mother myself, I have chosen to send my own daughter to Goodstart McKinnon. I have complete trust in the educators and their ability to provide a special and stimulating experience for her. This personal experience has reinforced my understanding of parents' expectations for an early learning center.
