Goodstart Early Learning Warwick - Wood Street

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.

Kirstine Moncada

My name is Kirstine, and I am Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Warwick-Wood Street.

I have worked in the industry for over 15 years, gaining my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Diploma in Business. Throughout my years in childcare, I have worked across many roles and leadership positions.

I believe all children should feel supported and have the right to education and care. I am passionate about community involvement and firmly believe “it takes a village to raise a child”.  Throughout my years in the industry, I have worked hard to build relationships with external community groups to support the children and their families in our community.

I aim to provide Warwick with a safe, nurturing environment that families and children feel comfortable to learn and grow in. Please feel free to say hello, my door is always open!
