Goodstart Early Learning North Melbourne

Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills. 

The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.

The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.

Nisha Bhatt

Hi, my Name is Nisha Bhatt and I’m the Centre Director at Goodstart North Melbourne.

I have been working in Early Childhood Education for 13 Years. Over my years in the industry, I have worked within many roles, including Casual Educator, room assistant, room leader and an Assistant Director. I have successfully completed my Certificate III, Diploma and Advance Diploma of Early Childhood Education.

As a Centre Director, I aim to foster high quality education and care for children to achieve the best possible outcomes.  The First five years of a child’s life are crucial in setting milestones for growth and development. Children build positive relationships with the world around them with quality education and care from educators and carers. I am responsible for providing a safe and inclusive learning environment for children free from discrimination. I believe in utilising the benefits of play based learning and holistic development, which are essential in enhancing children’s social, emotional, and cognitive skills.

To achieve excellence in providing quality Early Childhood Education, I believe in partnering with families and communities to nurture young minds and empower them to learn and grow.

I look forward to welcome and support all families and children to join our nurturing environment of dedicated and qualified teams of educators who are passionate about early Childhood development and are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere.
