Additional Centre Information

Eleni Svarnia

Centre Director

My name is Eleni (it is pronounced as eh-LEH-Niy) and I come from the sunny country of Greece.

I am a highly experienced and qualified early childhood professional who has had the privilege of educating many children in a variety of settings, alongside developing warm, respectful and reciprocal relationships with their families and wider communities.

I speak 5 languages and l've been working with children all over Europe & Australia for the last 10 years. I’m a very happy and positive person and you will never see me without big smile. Outside of my passion for early childhood my other passions are Greek dancing and Zumba as well as traveling.

As said, working with families ,children and communities is my absolute passion. I believe that the early years of a child's life are the most important. Each child is unique with different interests, backgrounds and developmental stages.

My pedagogy involves mentoring educators to achieve making each child a confident and involved learner. Also to engage and challenge them through activities. Furthermore, allowing  the child feel safe and secure, and to build trust between the educator, child and family.

My goal is to encourage happiness in the centre by your children looking forward to come to childcare everyday, by our team of educators being positive, professional and enthused about the honour afforded them in educating your children; and by yourselves, our families, being our most important stakeholders to feel as rewarded in your children’s everyday care and learning as we do delivering it.

My office door is always open and I invite each and every parent to come talk to me about their concerns and desires for their children.

I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you.

KindiCare ReviewFebruary 14, 2024
We like the staff consistency. Same staff every day on the same shift and they change shifts every 6 months. Also same staff in the room for the whole year. Very hard to get an extra day so put your name in waitlist a year in advance. Good team

My granddaughter attending there. We can see what she does during the day though an app and they’re is excellent communication. The teachers are doing some amazing activities and my favourite part is that they respect all the cultures. Stunning centre with a lot of friendly faces and natural grass in the gardens xxx definitely my favourite place

As a mother and as a Director I believe in strong and nurturing relationships. Before I start my 8-week old baby at Goodstart Toowoomba Glenvale Road, I did 12 tours in the best rated childcare centres of the area. In my heart I knew that my centre was the best, but as a parent you always want the best for your child. After having tours at 12 childcare centres, seeing some beautiful centres and also seeing some not that inviting centres, I decided that Goodstart Glenvale Road is the place to be ❤️ it’s all about the first smile when you walk in, it’s all about the “Hello Eleni, how was your day today?” It’s all about the acknowledgment that you get from the staff. They treat everyone the same, even in families which English is not the first language, the educators still acknowledge them and they going above and beyond for them. They translate their learning stories for them. This is what they did for my child, they translated a learning story in Greek language for my parents to be able to read. You feel inclusive, you feel like it’s your family ❤️ My little baby girl is so happy there and her big smile in the photos,confirms me that I did the right choice ❤️ Goodstart Early Learning it truly the place to be
Goodstart Glenvale road is one of the best decisions we made for our daughter. It became her second home and she looked forward to go there. There is so much indoor and outdoor space for kids to explore. Meals were healthy and delicious even my fuzzy eater loved them. We noticed a big improvement in our daughter since she started her journey and couldn't thank enough for the lovely educators who committed towards that. We are so grateful for the dedicated staff for making the center a great place for every kid.
The team and Goodstart Glenvale Road have been so supportive and welcoming since we started there. They have such a rich environment for the children to play, learn and discover. It's great to see all the learning and fun the kids have each day. The meals they provide are a great help and provide a balanced and healthy diet. Our twins love going there and have full days, sometimes they're asleep by 5 just from all the fun.
