Additional Centre Information

Karlene Catchpole

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Karlene !

I have been working in the Childcare sector for over 26 years and I have been a Centre Director for 20 years.

The time flies when you're doing what you love. In 2021, I celebrated 25 years of service.

I love my position as the cente director and working with families for the best possible outcomes along with   seeing the way the children are able to embrace the wonder of play, whilst soaking up knowledge that helps grow into articulate young people. To be able to play a small role in the foundation of their learning is a privilege.

I am the mother of two boys, who have progressed through childcare and school to now university.

I hold my Advanced Diploma in Community Services, Children's Services, and relevant First Aid certificate.

At Goodstart Labrador Gordon Street, I am inspired every day with being able to assist all children in their development and learning whilst positively encouraging their successes. Each child is different, each family is unique, and no two days are ever the same.  Our aim is to provide support that is tailored to your family’s needs. Working in partnership with you to build upon your child’s social and emotional development and readiness for school.

Today’s children are our future leaders, who need to be nurtured and encouraged to question and strive for answers that will benefit not only themselves but everyone around them.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our Goodstart Family and centre.

Professional educators and heart-wise director. Goodstart Labrador provides a great child care experience, successful and smooth transition with care and true interest. The needs of each child are respected, the child is not rushed. Multi educational development programs are conducted in a safe, home-like peaceful environment. This is a place where curious and creative children thrive! Thank you for a life changing, wonderful kindy experience! Warm greetings, Strautins family

Fabulous experienced educator. It is place where my 2 years old son feels safe, has made beautiful bond with his educators And all staff members .The centre director and all staff members are very friendly. Highly recommend this centre.
The best place I've ever taken my children. All the staff are amazing, supportive in every way possible and communication is on point. Very supportive if your child has special needs or mental health needs. Great with medical forms, assessment and review/reports. We've had a few emergencies & outside paperwork. They've helped support us in more ways than one. Honestly couldn't thank the team at Goodstart enough for what they've done for our little family. *Update Over all, the best experience my son has ever had, from pre kindy to kindy then to transitioning to school. Good Start has been amazing in helping little ones meet their goals and beyond. My son has blossomed in the last 12months thanks to Good start. They've helped him meet our goals and more. Definitely will be taking my future children there. Highly recommend checking them out 💜

Beautiful staff, the time and effort they spend with your child needs to be appreciated more, the planning they do for xmas parties for the kids and graduation night. You feel good knowing your child is safe and making friends.
