Goodstart Early Leraning Gateshead is a long daycare service that operates Monday to Friday between 7.00am and 6.00pm.  We have been established since late 2005 and are located close to Lake Macquarie and Charlestown.

We are an 86 place centre with six rooms in total.  We have three Nurseries, one Toddler Room and two Pre-School Rooms. 

We provide the children with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, as well as wipes and nappies.

A comprehensive educational program is implemented through each age range and children are offered a wide range of activities that provide stimulating and challenging learning experiences. 

Our Pre-School rooms offer a full Pre-School and school readiness program, as well as a targeted literacy program through LetterLand and BroadLearn.
Amanda Smith
Centre Director
My name is Amanda Smith and I am the Centre Director. I am responsible for the efficient running of the centre. I work closely with staff and families to ensure the centre is well run and our children are well cared for and happy. 

I have a Bachelor of Education from the University of Newcastle and am qualified to teach children from 0-12 years. I chose to work in early childhood because I believe that a positive experience with learning in the younger years sets up positive learning patterns for later life. The thing I enjoy most about the job is that each day is different. I enjoy getting to know each child's individual personality and watching the children grow and learn new skills.
