Goodstart Early Learning Bray Park - Kensington Way

We could not recommend Goodstart enough. After visiting a few centres and never feeling fully happy, Goodstart met our needs and more. The staff are very professional and accommodating, but the centre also has a strong family feel. The classrooms are well presented, tidy and well lit with natural sun light. The children have access to a wide range of activities and learning opportunities, including lots of outside time. My children are both thriving and very happy.

Thank You to all the staff at Goodstart Bray Park for your lovely service you continue to provide each and every time we walk through those doors. My mind feels at ease knowing I'm leaving my daughter in good hands. The hard work and efforts you all put into looking after our kids to keeping the centre neat and tidy does not go unnoticed. Thank You again and very much appreciated.

My two children are chalk and cheese. One is determined beyond words and very independent. The other shy, has trouble settling in, was speech delayed- the list goes on . With such differing needs, the extent to which staff tailor their interactions with children has been highly noticeable. My children get the support, scaffolded learning and affection they need. It's hard not being with them so that I can work- but I know they're in great hands!

Wonderful staff, very friendly and supportive.

Hello! 

My name is Kylie Stevenson and I am your Centre Director here at Goodstart Kensington Way.

I have been working within the Early Years sector for over 22 years and I hold my Bachelor of Early Childhood.

During my career, I have held numerous positions with ABC/Goodstart ranging from Assistant through to Area Manager, as well as working within Goodstart Centre Support Office.

I chose to work with children at an early age, as I wanted to expand the learning and development and offer children many challenging and interesting experiences as possible under my care. I love working with children as it is extremely rewarding to watch each, and every child grow and develop every day in a playing and fun environment as well as getting to know each and every family, making your stay with us as warm and caring as possible.

Our vision is for Australia’s children to have the best possible start in life and our purpose is to ensure children have the learning, development and wellbeing outcomes they need for school and life. 

Our Goodstarters are what set us apart - they are guided by our principles and inspired to set new benchmarks for a child's learning and development in the years that count most - the first five years.
