About our centre

Goodstart Wantirna South Cathies Lane is located in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood. We have two easy access points to Eastlink, public transport nearby and plenty of onsite parking amenities available.
Our Early Learning service provides care for children aged between six weeks and six years holding a maximum of sixty five children across four rooms per day.

Each room operates an educational program which is driven by the children and supported by the educators through intentional teaching strategies  

At Goodstart Cathies Lane we pride ourselves in our Educator retention. Both members of centre management have been at the service for over twelve years, four of our Group Leaders have been at the service for ten years, with majority of the remaining educators being here for quite some time also. We currently have a team that consists of 18 dedicated and passionate educators, each whom are committed to making a difference in children’s lives by providing rich learning opportunities and through developing sustained and meaningful relationships with all children in their care.

Our vision is to create a “home away from home for our families” – a place where the children feel safe, secure environment where children learn whilst simply having fun!

Priti Naiga

Centre Director

Wominjeka! My name is Priti Naiga and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning, Wantirna South – Cathies Lane.

I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care as well as have done my Bachelor’s in Commerce – Accounting & Finance.  I have around 8 year’s experience in the childcare sector and 5+ year’s experience in the Accounting and Business Development roles. I have a keen interest in the impact of high-quality early childhood education in supporting children in their lifelong learning journey.
 

My early learning values:

Coming from an Indian heritage and being part of the multicultural community in Melbourne, I celebrate the uniqueness and diversity that makes each and every one of us so special. I love to bring cultural awareness to our centre and enjoy being able to celebrate all cultural celebrations.

I believe that fostering each child’s individuality is what strengthens their identity and emotional wellbeing. Children has an infinite potential to excel if given the right opportunities and our role in Early Childhood Education is pivotal to their success.

 

A little more about me:

As a Centre Director, I have an instrumental role in leading and empowering my team.

My personal goal is to support each educator with the professional knowledge and skills so that they can excel in their vital role that they have in supporting each child to reach their highest potential. 

When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me experimenting and cooking different food, trying my hands on painting or spending time with my family.

 

Why your child should spend the day with me and the amazing team at Goodstart Wantirna South - Cathies Lane:

At Goodstart Wantirna South Cathies Lane we strive to provide a safe, peaceful, and natural environment that engages children's five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement.
