Meet our Centre Director:

Hi there, my name is Amanda, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Tamworth – Brisbane Street.

I have worked in the early learning industry since 2003, and I have a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. During my career I have had the opportunity to work with different age groups and across the variety of areas in the industry.

For me it is all about working with families; ensuring they feel a part of the experience and actively involved in their child’s learning. We are also closely bound to our community and through these close ties, we can enrich the learning experience, while having direct access to support and information as a need arises.

I look forward to meeting you and seeing if you’re a good fit for our wonderful team!
