Goodstart Early Learning Burton

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Burton! Located at 107-115 Springbank Boulevard in Burton, Australia, our institution is a renowned establishment that serves as a point of interest and a school for children. At Goodstart Burton, we offer a range of services and programs to enrich your child's learning experience.

One of the unique features of our institution is the availability of our estimator tool, which allows you to determine your eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy. This tool helps you understand the financial support you may receive for your child's care.

If you're looking for a new career opportunity, we invite you to search our vacancies and consider making Goodstart your next move. We provide a supportive and family-oriented environment, where everyone is welcome. Our center is conveniently located near public transport, local shops, schools, and even a beautiful park right next door.

We take pride in our strong community links, such as our community pantry in reception. This pantry is graciously stocked by our local Woolworths, allowing families to take what they need. It's just one of the ways we aim to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Our vibrant and diverse staff is passionate about teaching and providing the best learning experiences for your child. Each classroom offers a unique environment based on the children's interests, with personalized touches from our educators. Our educators undergo extensive training to maintain the high standards we strive for.

At Goodstart Burton, we strongly believe in play-based learning and sensory activities for children of all ages. We also organize intentional learning experiences while embracing spontaneous learning opportunities that arise from the children's interests. This approach nurtures their curiosity and lays the foundation for lifelong learning.

Our purpose-built early learning center has a capacity of 84 children per day across four rooms, catering to different age groups from 0-2, 2-3, 3-4, and Preschool. We welcome children as young as 6 weeks old and encourage families to stay with us until school age, as we offer a Government Funded Preschool program taught by our qualified Early Learning Teacher, Misha Pachani. We are also fortunate to have a qualified Early Learning Teacher, Kavita Dhingra, teaching in our 3-year-old room, providing valuable play-based learning in preparation for the Preschool program.

Reconciliation is an important value at Goodstart Burton, and we actively acknowledge and learn from the Kaurna people. Our Reconciliation Action Plan aims to pass on love and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures to the children in our care. We begin each day with an Acknowledgement of Land, encouraging all children to engage in this meaningful ritual.

Building strong relationships with our families is a priority for us. We work closely with parents to create a sense of community and belonging. Our passionate and highly trained teaching staff ensures your child's readiness for school and provides a child-centered, teacher-guided learning framework. We also offer access to Storypark, an online learning portfolio for your child.

To make your life easier, we have an onsite qualified cook who prepares fresh and nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. We provide meals, nappies, wipes, cot linen, and sunscreen at no extra charge.

Stay connected with us by joining our Facebook community, where you can keep up with the latest news from our center and access expert information on parenting and early childhood. You can also use our Subsidy Estimator tool to find out how much you can save.

I am Tamicka, the Centre Director at Goodstart Burton. With a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, I have been passionate about education and care for over ten years. I continuously strive to explore new career opportunities and enhance my skills and knowledge to achieve my goals. I have extensive knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards, and I am always researching new early childhood topics.

Program and practice are my strong passions, and I love finding creative ways to explore these concepts with the children, educators, and families. I believe in lifelong learning and actively promote it among our team. As a trained educator, I also enjoy mentoring and guiding other professionals in the sector.

I look forward to meeting your children and building a strong, reciprocal relationship with your family. Together, we can achieve amazing things for your little one.
