Additional Centre Information

Vicki Williams

Centre Director

Hello, My name is Vicki Williams and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Canterbury Road South. I am a Diploma Qualified Educator and have been at Canterbury Road South for over 3 years.

I have been in the early Childhood Profession for over 20 years.  I have worked at a range of services both private and not for profit in Australia and in the UK.

My Early Learning Values

I understand the value and complexities of being a working parent and the level of trust and connection required to provide the confidence and reassurance that your child is receiving the care and education that they deserve whilst respecting the diversity of each of our families  and our local community values.

I believe that each child and their family is unique and I welcome the diversity of all family models, cultural beliefs and our community whilst respecting First Nations perspectives  as a rich tapestry of learning opportunities and for a strong foundation in learning respect and appreciation of what makes Australia such an amazing place to live, learn and grow.

A little more about me

When I’m not here at the centre I like to keep myself busy with craft activities such as knitting and cross stitch, walking with my dog Niamh and attending various folk music festivals and events.

Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team at Goodstart – Vermont – Canterbury Road South)

I believe your child and family will be respected for their uniqueness our environments are homely and incorporate natural elements throughout.

We have strong values regarding sustainability and ethical sourcing of play equipment.

We value our community and are always open to new learning opportunities and suggestions from our families to improve or incorporate many new viewpoints to holistically lessen the gap between home and our centre, making you the families feel involved and connected to your child’s learning growth.

I look forward to welcoming you to our centre.

I can't imagine trusting the care and devlopment of my child to anyone else! Our centre is supportive, inclusive, flexible and operates as a community. We love that children of all ages can interact, play and learn together and that my son's educators consistently demonstrate their genuine care for him. The communication throught he Storypark app of leanring milestones and objectives achieved is terrific and really gives you an inside view into how our child is progressing, and also how he is enjoying time spent there with his friends. My son is thriving here and is so happy and excited to arrive each day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else.

A safe, caring and learning focused environment for children aged from birth up. Staff are friendly, meals are delicious and the kids have fun as well as learn. So glad my son has attended here for 3 years so far.
