Parking details

Parking The centre carpark is located behind the centre and is accessed via a driveway that runs along the left hand side of the centre.
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 North Ipswich is a purpose built Goodstart centre that is located within close proximity to Riverlink Shopping Centre and the Central Business District of Ipswich.

Goodstart North Ipswich offers an Educational Program which are developed by each of our experienced Group Leaders. These Educational Programs allow the children to learn through play while encouraging all aspects of each child's development and incorporates the Early Years Learning Framework.

Our centre staff take great pride in delivering a fun and educational learning experience for each child at the centre. Staff are always finding new ways to build strong relationships with the children and their families.

The families at the centre enjoy celebrating the special events that we have on offer at the centre through out the year. These include a Centre Christmas Party, Educational Shows/Talks, Grandparents Day, Preschool Graduation Ceremony and Dress Up Days.

We also participate in Community Events to build strong relationships with other local community services.The centre also supplies nappies for children who require them.
Lacey Mader
Centre Director
My name is Lacey Mader and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning North Ipswich.  I hold a Diploma in Children's' Services and I am currently studying my Advance Diploma. I have been in the education industry for 10 years working my way from an Assistants role all the way to my role as a Centre Director which I have been in for the last 3 years.

I have 3 children of my own and as a mother I understand a parents perspective of what they look for in a Child Care Centre.

I believe that all children have the right to a positive experience during their time at the centre. As the Centre Director and Childcare provider I will do my best to ensure that your child/ren will have a positive experience.

Please feel free to call me or visit the service to see what Goodstart North Ipswich has to offer your family.
