Additional Centre Information

Jessica Vatsilas

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Jessica Vatsilas and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Payneham.

Working at Goodstart Payneham has been the most rewarding and successful journey! I have been part of the Payneham family for 17 years - 5 years as Centre Director. I believe that creating a nurturing, aesthetically pleasing and safe environment, filled with developmentally appropriate curriculums and programs, will shape the first 5 years of a child’s life. 

I am a passionate and dedicated leader who will always mentor and support my team to be the best that they can be. 

At Goodstart Payneham we thrive to build trusting reciprocal relationships with both children and their families through Key Educator Relationships, which helps develop their sense of belonging in a new learning environment. I believe that children have the right to learn, play and build skills at their own pace and follow their own interests through making their own decisions. 

Maintaining positive interactions builds a foundation for children to be nurtured, having a sense of agency and building a sense of security.

At Goodstart Payneham we might not be shiny brand new, but we are REAL, we have Heart and Soul!

We look forward to meeting you and your family. Come in and say hi!

I have nothing but pure love and respect for the educators and administrators at Goodstart Payneham. The team here is exceptional and their motivation and dedication to your child's growth and development is unparalleled. All educators, carers are just so loving and caring. My son really enjoyed his time and he learnt a lot. Special shout out to Marisa, Shelby, Martha, Hannah, Tara, Vivienne who all so caring and yet patient with the children. My son really has learnt a lot and grown up a lot; thanks to their interactive teaching methods and playful atmosphere. He has learnt communicative and social skills, learnt to be respectful and kind. Also the administrators Jessica and Adriana makes it so easy and simple for the parents. I can't thank the team here enough and my son will always have the fondest memories of first learning experience.
Goodstart early learning payneham are outstanding! All 3 of my children have attended (with 2 of the 3 still in attendance). Staff are super supportive to both parents and children, incredibly friendly, proactive, and engaging. It's is thanks to the team at Goodstart early learning Payneham that I have great confidence and next to zero anxiety regarding my children's start to education and the big scary world that they will have to navigate.. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

The Payneham team are amazing .. big shout out to this amazing team.
What a fabulous friendly environment 💜. That Staff have been very caring and inviting and have a very family feel about them as well as teaching our kids many new things each and everyday. We have done a few daycare moves over the years and our now 5yr old is loving getting ready for kindy in this new facility of hers, she has built some lovely friendships with the staff and her peers. The biggest thing for us was finding stability and at this center all the staff have been working at this address for upto 17yrs and they really do put alot of effort into our children, we even had our first parent teacher interview which we thought was great, we feel more of a connection with the staff as we could see they really do want what is best for us and our children and they want to know how they can make it better for us. Five stars all round, well done guys, wish we had chosen you alot sooner. Don't worry about the size of the rooms, the team manage the space very well and they do a fabulous job of keeping the kids stimulated.

Amazing centre and very professional staff. Our son loves all his educators and he is learning so much. We couldn't be happier and we will be so sad the day we won't have to bring him there anymore. Can't recommend it enough.

My son started Goodstart Payneham since he was 5 months old (full-time) in the nursery room. All the educators and admin staff are fantastic and amazing. They are so supportive and patient and we’ve been received millions of advice throughout my son’s development journey. It has great environment and learning facilities, children can play safely in the huge backyard, and my son loves planting and eating vegetables (cherry tomatoes, particularly in summer) from the garden. And he also loves nutritious lunch freshly cooked by chef, Dave. Plus many more! He started Kindergarten program here this term for 5 days and he absolutely enjoys what he learns everyday. We can clearly see his happiness and maturity which is thankfully encouraged and supported by beautiful team. I strongly recommend Goodstart Payneham to every parents, especially young families just like us.
