Goodstart Early Learning Douglas is located in close proximity to three of Townsville's largest workforces. We're nestled in between the Townsville Hospital and James Cook University Campus and not more than a stone's throw from Lavarack Barracks. The centre offers a great childcare option for the area, and the location of the centre provides staff of the Townsville Hospital and Students and Staff at JCU with a sense of closeness to their children whilst at work, putting many separation anxieties at rest.

Mount Stuart and a lovely natural bushland provide a backdrop to the centre, which creates a quiet, "country like" playground setting.

We welcome you to visit our centre. Our friendly staff would love to show you what we have to offer your family.
Terence Hooper
Centre Director
My name is Terence Hooper and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Douglas. I have been a part of the Goodstart family for approximately ten years, where I have worked as an Assistant, Group Leader and now Centre Director. I have an Advanced Diploma of Children's Services.

Fostering each child's development is a passion of mine. Whether it be a first word, recognising a colour or seeing a new friendship form, I enjoy being a part of these milestones and achievements. 

I strive to create an environment at the centre that enriches the individual child's learning and allows for your child to receive the very best care possible. My goal is happy parents, staff and most importantly children. It is this goal that drives me to provide a centre for all to enjoy.
