Additional Centre Information

Barbara Echeverria

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Barbara and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre McKinnon.

I have been an early learning educator since 2003 and I hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education. I have worked across all age groups during my career and my most recent role before Centre Director was as Kinder Teacher.

I’ve worked as Centre Director at Goodstart McKinnon since 2011 and have been a Centre Director since 2010. Before my career in early learning, I worked in retail management, events management and travel and tourism.

It didn’t take me long to realise however that early learning was my passion. Working with young children is extremely rewarding and I strongly believe that a quality early learning experience in the first years of life will have an enduring impact on children and their wellbeing.

My philosophy is to provide children with a happy, safe and stimulating environment. It’s also important to support and partner with families so that we create the most positive environment we can for our children.  One of the key ways to make this happen is through good communication. I will always make myself available to parents and our team of educators.

I now have a daughter of my own and I choose to send her here at Goodstart McKinnon. I have complete trust in the educators in her room that they will make her time here special and stimulating. I’ve always been committed to giving the best possible care to the children at the centre and since having my own daughter it has reinforced my understanding of parent’s expectations of an early learning centre.

I work with a great team and together we strive to provide the highest quality care.

We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.

My wife and I cannot be HAPPIER with this Centre. We have only kind words to say about everyone there. Barb (Centre Director) and the entire staff make this a magical place our kids. Every single one working there knows all the children by name regardless of which room they are in. They are so nice, friendly, helpful, considerate, joyful, knowledgeable, professional and patient!! Our kids have grown and learnt so much thanks to all those amazing teachers. We'll always be grateful to everyone at Goodstart McKinnon!

Both my children have been going here for the past couple of years, they always have a good time and are well cared for. All staff and educators are fantastic and have a personal touch for each child and family. Thank you Goodstart McKinnon, it has been wonderful to be part of the community.

Fantastic centre with caring educators and staff who know all the children well. Lovely community feel here! We have been so happy after moving our son to the centre from another childcare, best decision.

My daughter adores the lovely and supportive educators at Goodstart McKinnon. She loves signing in and writing her name on the attendance sheet as well as being a class helper. Thanks for building independence and confidence in kids!
Wonderful centre full of amazing educators. Educators are reliable, centre is always spotless and the food always smells brilliant (and my 3yo assures me it is delicious!)
