Goodstart Early Learning Springvale South

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.

Hi, I’m Jhumur and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Springvale South.

I moved to Australia in 2005. I have completed my Bachelor of Commerce in India and I worked as a Primary School Teacher and also in a corporate company in India for eight years. I have a Diploma in Children’s Services and have spent time working with all age groups.

I strongly believe that children are the future of our country and their first experiences in early childhood education shape them into strong individuals for their life.

In my role as a Centre Director, I will have the opportunity to lead and empower a team of Educators to provide high-quality learning outcomes for the children and a strong connection with families and the community.

My vision is to ensure that all our families and children feel secure and supported here at the centre. Being a mum myself, I understand the importance of families to find a perfect place for their children. A place where they feel safe, respected and supported and included socially and emotionally.

I love to connect with people and learn about different cultures. We often incorporate this learning to educate our children and shape them into responsible adults who can contribute positively to the community. I feel fortunate to be a part of a great community where I can connect and collaborate with local businesses and schools for a purpose.

When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family. I love reading books and cooking dishes from all over the world.

At Goodstart Springvale South we have a very strong and dedicated team of Educators and we strive to provide a safe, peaceful, and natural environment that engages children's five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family along with my highly educated and passionate Educators and would love to explore how we can support your child on their journey to lifelong learning.
