**Meet Our Centre Director**:
Hello, my name is Katie, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Thornton.

Since leaving the UK in 2007 to start a new life in Australia, I was lucky enough to begin my journey at Goodstart Thornton as a Senior Educator.

I've been with Goodstart Early Learning for over 16 years. In my time with Goodstart, I've also been given opportunities to be an Educational Leader, 2IC and most recently an Assistant Director.

I believe that all children have the right to play, learn and grow in a safe, secure, nurturing and stimulating environment. As the famous child psychologist Jean Piaget once said, 'Play is the work of children'.
