Additional Centre Information

Mi Rae (Lauren) Kim

Centre Director

Hi there, my name is Mi Rae and i'm the Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning North Sydney, West Street.

I have been working in the Early Childhood Education sector in Australia as an Early Childhood Teacher since 2005 and directing centres over 5 years. There have been many changes in Early Childhood care and education during this time. I am moving with those changes and continue to listen to the needs of the children, families and our team. I am passionate about giving children the love and encouragement they need to build confidence as they enter different stages of their early years, helping them take risks, and develop as individuals.

As a team, we pride ourselves on providing infants, toddlers and young children with positive learning experiences by way of planning and facilitating meaningful experiences based on our in-depth knowledge of each child, as well as children’s interests.

I believe all children have the right to an education, to learn and be in a safe, healthy, nurturing, fun and respectful environment. We achieve this by role modelling appropriate behaviours, illustrating respect, concern and consideration for others in thought, word and action, I also believe in demonstrating a knowledge of and an appreciation for a variety of culture throughout the centre.

I look forward to welcoming you into our beautiful centre.

We are very happy with the service and care provided to our children. I’ve had two kids attending GoodStart for more than 5 consecutive years in total and it’s been a great experience. Our kids love the staff and the management team have always been very professional and accommodating. I have recommended this service to many local families!

We have experienced a disappointing lack of communication and professionalism from centre management and state leadership at Goodstart after being informed of an incident at the centre which required reporting to the department of education. Centre management promised clear communication surrounding the subsequent investigation and advised it would be completed in a timely fashion. The investigation is incomplete and it has been 5 month since it began. We made a formal complaint to head office which took them 2 weeks to respond to. After a phone called with the NSW state leadership, we are dissatisfied with their continued lack of response and we’re not left feeling confident that they will make changes to their communications. Goodstart has been passing blame between one another for the lack of communication we received and even suggested that our holiday period contributed to any delays. We have never experienced such a lack of professionalism and understanding and will be working towards finding a new centre. We would not recommend Goodstart to other families.

Staff are great,management are rubbish. In dispute about being charged extra for the centre being closed. Policies are not family friendly, they say "you were advised on your tour".. tours are informal visits and no extra info is given. Only when you start then you learn about the policies. They wouldn't refund us the extra we were charged when they closed the centre and our children only attended one day. Dont understand why we are charged extra when they closed the centre, meaning our childrencould only do 1 day, how many other families does this happen to? Management either ignore you and hope you stay quiet or are very patronising. So unfortunately a 1 star in the service I've seen here. Injustice to the lovely staff who do a great job with the kiddies.
Our daughter is looked after so well at good start. We feel so lucky to have such special carers and director. We highly recommend the good start team at west st.
This was our first experience with a daycare for our son and it has really been a pleasure! We are moving states so will have to change daycare centres but I am grateful our first experience was with the wonderful staff at Goodstart North Sydney West Street. I breaks my heart to leave them when my son who is just now 1yrs old has been getting used to the educators there. I find them very professional and respectful towards our son and family. We will miss them very much. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We love this centre. It is the third childcare centre our daughter has attended, so we have something to compare with, and can safely say we are happy to send her here every day. She always has a great time and loves the educators.
