Backing people to lead the way: Meet our WA State Manager, Joelene Brown
We’re proud to announce Joelene Brown as Goodstart’s State Manager for Western Australia
At Goodstart Sheidow Park - Young Street, children are supported to learn, grow and discover through play, exploration and meaningful relationships. Conveniently located near local schools, bus transport and Hallett Cove Shopping Centre, our centre provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging. Our experienced educators work alongside children to nurture confidence, curiosity and independence while creating learning experiences aligned with their individual interests and strengths. With deep community connections and a diverse team, we support children to build the foundations for lifelong learning.
From nursery through to Preschool, our learning environments are thoughtfully designed to support children's development through play-based learning and discovery. Children are encouraged to explore, create, problem-solve and develop positive relationships in environments that reflect the Early Years Learning Framework and their emerging interests.
Our outdoor play spaces provide opportunities for children to engage with nature, develop physical confidence and enjoy sensory-rich experiences. Combined with fresh, nutritious meals prepared onsite and strong partnerships with families, we create a nurturing environment where children can thrive.
Families often tell us they value our caring educators, multicultural community, engaging programs and strong sense of connection. Open communication and family involvement remain central to everything we do, ensuring children receive personalised support throughout their early learning journey.
We invite you to book a tour and take a look around, meet the team and explore how we can support your child’s early learning journey. We look forward to welcoming you and your family! (If the tour times available don’t suit you or your family’s commitments please contact us to organise a different time).

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our son the past 4 and a half years. Everyone has always gone above and beyond to ensure he always felt happy and safe when in your care. We are so thankful for the nurturing environment created. You have certainly had a positive impact on his development and we have been incredibly fortunate to have you as part of his life. We appreciate you all more than words can describe.


I have worked at Goodstart for over 20 years in both educator and management positions. I am dedicated to working with our team to create a holistic learning environment where all children and families are welcomed.
I am dedicated to embedding indigenous culture into the centre and developing the reconciliation process. I believe that all children deserve an equal opportunity to learn and grow in a diverse community.
