About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre in Somerton Park opened in late 2017. Our newly constructed centre features seven separate, naturally inspired learning spaces, each with direct access to our landscaped designed outdoor environment providing children with the opportunity to move freely between the indoor and outdoor. Our environments have been specifically designed to engage, challenge and excite the children throughout all of their developmental stages.

We provide high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Using the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children’s learning, our educators are passionate and committed to providing nurturing and simulating early learning environment. With a strong commitment and focus to create a warm and welcoming community focused centre we look forward to building and maintaining meaningful and true relationships with all our families and children.

Excellent centre since the new director Anna Burton joined! Teachers are really caring, communication home is excellent and it's always a warm and friendly environment. Extra activities like being about to look after the centre's guinea pigs and access to ViaDance Classes were a bonus. My daughter loved Princess Maddyson's classes. Highly recommend :)

My daughter attended Goodstart Somerton Park from a toddler right through to kindy. Anna and her wonderful team have played a pivotal role in my daughter’s growth and development, it’s been wonderful to watch over the years. The educators dedication, patience and most of all kindness and compassion has been greatly appreciated. The centre is clean and modern with rooms dedicated for all levels. The garden play areas are great, my daughter has had many adventures in the sandpit and play equipment. They also like to focus on gardening and growing plants/veggies, plus they also celebrate cultural diversity which is a brilliant initiative. Thank you!

My experience at Goodstart Somerton Park has been amazing. As an anxious mother, I was very nervous about leaving my daughter away from me for the very first time. They have been very compassionate, patient and understanding with me in this journey, specially Anna Burton, the Centre Director. Anna has a fantastic team of educators - professional, warm and well trained and it gave me the confidence to leave my 2 year old at a place where she was well nurtured and felt safe. My daughter has learned and grown a lot during this time and I only have the educators to thank for their warmth and love they have bestowed as that, I feel, is most important for a child’s emotional development. Thank you so much for all the love ❤️

Anna Burton

Centre Director

Hi there, my name is Anna Burton and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Somerton Park. I have been passionate about nurturing and supporting young children ever since I was one myself. It has always been a no brainer that I would end up working to support young children. I have been working with the early years sector for 15 years and fortunate to have been with Goodstart Early Learning for 4 years. During this time I have been fortunate to gain my qualifications, having had the opportunity to work across many roles, within all age groups, creating 100s of wonderful connections and feeling blessed for each and every one!

I pride myself on having a deep respect for all children and families in my care. Building relationships with the children, ensuring their time is spent in our care feeling safe and happy, with calm minds open to learning. I believe to support children’s happiness is through developing relationships with their families also. Getting to know the families, building trust and connections have all been achievable goals for me, and through being a Centre Director I will continually strive to provide families with positive outcomes and support them in their care journey.

Through my values I strive to support my team to continually increase their capabilities, helping them achieve their goals and encouraging their development. I believe in guiding my team to slow down their care rituals, trust their knowledge, and appreciate, guide, support and respect children and families.

I am so lucky my job fills my nurturing cup as well as my home life. Away from the centre I raise my 3 young children, which I feel supports families in my care as I can see things from a parent perspective. I also have a forever growing hobby farm up in the Adelaide Hills, a pig, a pony, 4 sheep, many chickens, guinea pigs and I have been known in the past to bring my pets to show the children.

I have my Certificate 2 in basic Auslan, after my Tafe SA course I am capable of giving the deaf community an opportunity to come in for a centre tour and provide the information they need.

I look forward to meeting our future families, and supporting them through their initial transition. What an honour, my team and I will give them a wonderful start to their learning journey!
