Goodstart Gympie is a four room centre, situated a few minutes from the heart of town. We are in close proximity to local primary and high schools, local bus route, IGA and Coles Shopping Centre and the main street of Gympie.
Goodstart Gympie provides quality care to children from 9 months to five years of age.
This purpose-built centre includes spacious classrooms and 2 separate playgrounds with natural spaces, boasting full air conditioning throughout our centre. The centre provides nutritional morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea prepared by our on-site cook and we cater for dietary requirements and allergies.
Each of our wonderful classrooms provide a stimulating play-based curriculum which is developmentally in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.
We recognise the environment as a third teacher and therefore our indoor and outdoor learning spaces cater to the needs and abilities of the children, while also sparking their individual creativity. We utilise natural materials and open-ended resources to ensure your child can be the driver of their own learning.
It is our passion to care, teach and guide children through their milestones of development and learning. Being a part of Goodstart has given us the opportunity to share this passion with you and your family. We are devoted to the wellbeing and development of your child. We believe that the initial bond that your family has with us will only strengthen with time.
Our Storypark platform enables us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring we have open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor programs to meet individual needs, interests and strengths while working collaboratively with each individual family.
Our centre boasts a team of qualified, passionate, highly experienced and friendly staff who are dedicated to ensuring that we provide the highest quality care.
We welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family and explore how we can support you on your child’s early learning journey.
Hi! My name is Clare, and I have been the Centre Director of Goodstart Gympie since March 2018.
My career in the Early Childhood sector started over 18 years ago where I completed my Certificate 3 at one of our local Goodstart centres. In 2010, I started at Goodstart and have worked in a variety of roles over my time before stepping into the position of Centre Director while finishing my Diploma of Early Childhood.
I believe that every child deserves the best start in life we can possibly give them, regardless of background, through genuine nurturing and care while providing a quality education through rich, safe and positive learning environments with a team of professional, dedicated Educators who genuinely value being such an important part of each child’s learning while building those essential relationships with families.
When not at the centre, you will find me with my family and my twin girls who love drawing and being outside.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family!
