Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.

Hi, I’m Melissa Beaumont and I am one of the Centre Directors here at Goodstart Bundoora Karl Court.
I have been the Centre Director at Goodstart Bundoora Karl Court since 2019 and have been with Goodstart Early Learning for 12 years since starting my career in Early Childhood Education.
I have been a centre Director since 2020, previously I have worked in both Assistant Director and Educational Leader roles.
My Early Learning values:
Strong relationships support children to thrive in Early Learning. Relationships with their Key Educators support children to feel confident to explore their environment and take on new challenges. Good communication between families and Educators to ensure needs are being met every day and professional relationships between Educators provide a safe and positive centre culture where children can access high-quality learning experiences.

Our Positive team culture and our respect for each other that creates a calm and welcoming space
