Are you seeking a fulfilling career, a nurturing work environment, and endless growth opportunities? At Goodstart, we're not just offering jobs; we're shaping futures. Whether you're a seasoned professional in early childhood education or just embarking on your journey, we have incredible opportunities tailored just for you.

As a Goodstart Educator, you'll become a vital part of our team, working alongside Senior Educators and our Educational Leader to craft and enhance exceptional learning programs for our children. Your dedication to safety and inclusivity will ensure every child thrives and feels valued in their learning experiences.

**About Goodstart Bertram**:
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Bertram is located in a safe but convenient area, close to schools and shops as well as transport routes and community services.
We have a dedicated team of qualified educators who provide a quality early learning program in all environments. All our rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - have qualified group leaders who lead their team of assistants.
We also have a full time Early Childhood Teacher who runs our Kindergarten program. Our educators pride themselves on creating programs that give children a strong sense of identity and well-being to become confident and involved learners. They acknowledge that children learn in a variety of ways and vary in their capabilities and pace of learning.

Each room is set up in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and reflects the personal learning style of children and educators in the environment and evidence of the children's learning can be seen throughout the environments. We actively involve families in our programs and continuously ask for feedback and input.
We have three separate outdoor play areas which allow the children to play within a safe environment. These areas change and features are moved and added as the learning program determines - and the children play an important role in the planning of each space. This gives them an appreciation of their surrounds, an understanding of the environment and helps foster in them a sense of sustainability.

Our centre cook prepares nutritionally balanced meals that are made fresh daily on the premises. We cater separately for children with special Dietary requirements. Our centre cook holds a Certificate in Safe Food Handling.
