Always has been a top tier centre. After a few changes in management and some hiccups during that process the new director and team are steering the ship back in the right direction. Nothing has ever been to much. Management and staff have been approachable caring and understanding. I will be sad to finish at the end of the year as we transition to school. Great job Goodstart Lara!!!
