Goodstart Early Learning Narre Warren - Pound Road 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.

Christine Rosewall

Hello, my name is Christine, and I am the Centre Director at Narre Warren - Pound Road South.

I have been with Goodstart for the past 5 years and prior to Goodstart I previously managed a play center in Bayside, this is when I knew I wanted to continue to work with children. I began as a support educator with Goodstart and then stepped up into different roles over the last few years as a, Key Educator, Team Leader, Safety Champion, Assistant Director and lastly Center Director.

I am in my final stages of studying my Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management.

As a mother I strongly believe all children should feel safe, supported, and always respected. Providing a warm secure environment for all children to thrive and grow socially, emotionally, and physically is important to us as a team. Making strong connections with children, families and educators is something that I seek out and enjoy about my role. We as a center endeavor to work with each family individually to create a quality learning experience for each child.

On weekends and time away from the center I enjoy spending time with family, my adorable fur babies, traveling, upcycling, and gardening.

We look forward to meeting you and your family and discussing your child/ren’s learning goals.
