Amanda Thorburn

Centre Director

Hello, I am Amanda the Centre Director at Goodstart Elara Blackstone Street.

With over 25 years of experience in the early childhood education industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role as Centre Director. Holding a Bachelor of Teaching specializing in the developmental years from birth to 8 years old, I am deeply committed to providing exceptional care and education for children of all ages.

Since joining Goodstart in 2014, I have dedicated the past decade to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment Central to my philosophy is the belief that strong connections and relationships form the bedrock of children's growth and well-being. I am proud to lead a team of dedicated professionals who share my passion for creating a safe, secure, and positive space for every child in our care.

As Centre Director, I am committed to offering a tailored and inclusive program that respects each child as an individual. I prioritize safety while also encouraging curiosity and exploration, guided by attachment theory and a deep understanding of the importance of relationships in early childhood development.

Drawing on my own experience as a parent of four, I empathize with the challenges and concerns that families may face when choosing childcare. I consider it a privilege to be entrusted with the care and education of children, and I am always available to listen to the stories and experiences of both families and children.

I am excited to embark on this journey with you and your family, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you all soon. Together, we can create a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can thrive and flourish.
