As the Centre Director at Goodstart Drysdale, my name is Emma Healey. I have been a part of the Goodstart family for over 10 years, starting as a certificate 3 student in children's services. Through Goodstart, I completed my diploma in children's services, gaining valuable on-the-job experience as a room leader across different age groups. In 2019, I was promoted to assistant director, and now I have the privilege of leading and working alongside a fantastic team as the centre director.

I am passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for children. Building strong bonds with families, both existing and new, is something I truly enjoy. I believe that collaboration between educators and families is essential for a child's holistic development.
