Kids' Early Learning Dean Park

Meet Kristy Goodwin
Centre Director

Early childhood education has always been my dream. I integrate a community approach into programming as we all play a vital role in facilitating our children's learning and development. Children don't only just learn but they also learn how to learn.

What makes Dean Park special?

1. Quality care since 1989: Initially inaugurated as Dean Park Child Care Centre, Kids' Early Learning Dean Park brings expertise and wisdom in supporting the diverse and evolving needs of families in Dean Park and surrounding suburbs.
   
   
2. Implementing a strategic inclusion plan: We work closely with families and inclusion specialists to create learning environments for every child to participate, thrive and reach their full potential.
   
   
3. Innovating preschool program: Our preschool program places a strong focus on independent learning and open spaces that encourage curiosity and exploration. We plan activities that celebrate cultural and community events like Book Week, NAIDOC, Diwali, and Science Week, collaborating closely with William Dean Public School.
   
   
4.  Ongoing development and training: Our dedicated and long-standing educators (averaging 10+ years of service at Dean Park) continually strengthen their skills to provide the highest quality care and learning experiences.
   
   
5. Age-specific environments: Intentional learning experiences for our babies, toddler and preschool rooms to nurture development, interests and developing abilities.
