Parking details

Parking We have limited parking on premises however ample street parking.
Please be advised that our Centre will remain closed after it sustained damage in the recent South East Queensland flooding natural disaster.

We are currently working with the landlords and insurers of our centre to assess the damage sustained to the buildings, natural environments and equipment. The affected staff and families have been offered alternate positions at Goodstart Early Learning centres in the surrounding centres.

Goodstart Early Learning Jindalee is a suburban centre located on Burrendah Road in Jindalee. The centre is in  walking distance to the local primary and high schools, the local pool and local shops. The centre is licenced for 74 children on a daily basis. We currently have five classrooms ranging from six weeks through to five years. We have a very large shaded playground for our children to explore and challenge their skills and development. This is set up according to the individualised programs for each room.

We supply lunch for the 15 months - 5 year old children on a daily basis. Lunches consist of a variety of gourmet sandwiches and salad wraps and a cup of milk.

Our friendly, dedicated staffing team have been employed at the centre ranging from three years to 20 years. All staff hold or are currently studying their qualifications for their current role as per the Queensland regulations.  All our staff hold blue cards and have current First Aid and CPR certificates.   The centre is air-conditioned throughout for the winter and summer months, making it a comfortable learning environment for the children.
Maureen Smith
Centre Director
Welcome! My name is Maureen Smith and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Jindalee. I have been working in the childcare industry for the past 24 years and have been the Centre Director for the last four years, all of which have been at Goodstart Early Learning Jindalee. 

I am fully qualified, holding an Advanced  Diploma in Early Childhood. I have a passion for working with children and providing them with a happy and safe environment where they enjoy their days. My work ethics were rewarded when I was awarded the Goodstart Early Learning Director of the year in 2007. 

I provide my staff with support and the reassurance required to ensure the children’s development is nurtured to the highest possible standards. I enjoy spending time each day in the rooms, interacting with the children and helping them develop their skills through the educational programs provided at my centre. 

My teaching philosophy is to be a role model/mentor to the children and staff and provide the best environment and program for the children to be safe and happy. I look forward to meeting you and showing you my beautiful centre in the very near future. 

Please feel free to pop in and see us at any time as we have an Open door policy at all times.
