Goodstart Early Learning Frankston South - Frankston-Flinders Road

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.

Janani Croos

Hello, My name is Janani and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Frankston South – Flinders Road.

I have worked in Early Learning for 15 years and hold a Diploma qualification in Early Childhood Education. Throughout my time with Goodstart, I have worked as an educator across all ages ranging from six weeks to six years. I have experienced many roles including Team Leader, Educational Leader, Assistant Director and Centre Director.

I am passionate about Early Childhood Education and committed to providing the best possible care and learning opportunities for the children in their early years learning journey.

I believe children should have the opportunity to explore rich and purposeful experiences throughout the day to reach their full potential in their first six years and that is only possible through high-quality early learning.

Being a mum myself, I understand the importance for families to find a perfect place for their children. A place where they feel safe, respected and supported and included socially and emotionally.

I look forward working with you and your family, along with my wonderful team of highly educated and passionate educators and see how we can get started on this learning journey together.
