Goodstart Early Learning Petrie is situated in the leafy surrounds of Petrie.  Petrie is a place where the city meets the country. The centre is situated close to both Petrie and Kurwongbah primary schools. This allows parents to continue their child's education in the one convenient location. It also allows for the children to continue on to school with the friends they have made at Goodstart Early Learning.

The staff here strive to cater to each child's individual needs and developmental requirements. We provide age appropriate and interesting weekly programs to ensure that each child's individual goals are achieved. Goodstart Early Learning Petrie believes in an open door policy. We work hard to build strong bonds with all families, and believe a great communication and mutual trust it vital to a successful care environment. 

During the year the centre celebrates many special events with our families.  We introduce the children to special days to raise awareness of various medical conditions and charities.  These include Red Nose Day, Daffodil Day, Jeans for Genes day and Pink Ribbon Day. 
Melissa Thompson
Centre Director
My name is Melissa Thompson.  I am proud to be the Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning Petrie. 

I have been involved in the childcare industry in various capacities since 1992. It is during this time that I gained valuable knowledge and experience in this field.  I believe that a child care centre should be a place of warmth and safety, providing appropriate learning experiences that meet the individual needs of every child.  I believe that teachers need to form a bond with each and every child in our care.  I believe in creating an atmosphere that allows children to feel a sense of freedom to experiment, explore, problem solve and question the world around them.

I believe the centre should be a place where parents feel comfortable to visit, participate and question the centre's activities each day.  I believe it is necessary for parents to understand the value and meaning of their child's play.

I believe you'll love it here at Goodstart Early Learning Petrie!
