Goodstart Early Learning Port Macquarie is located in a convenient location, near a shopping complex and backs onto a reserve providing a peaceful outlook. Our centre has a bright, welcoming foyer lined with up to date information about centre events, family issues and child development. We have four air conditioned rooms.

Our staff are very qualified and between them have many years experience in both rearing and caring for children. Our focus is to have every child in our care feel safe, secure and loved. Room leaders and assistants are dedicated to creating fun learning opportunities that extend children's learning and development.

We have a recently renovated outdoor area that provides a safe, clean environment for active little bodies! Our playground has a separate play area for our Nursery children to allow them to explore and interact with their environment safely and independently.

The centre' s generous opening hours allow us to cater for shift workers from the local police station and hospital. The children love to see  community workers in action and we are lucky to have them visit each year.

Families love to get together when we celebrate special occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Preschool Graduation and end of year celebrations. Families are encouraged to feel as they are an important part of our little community.
Nicola Mckellar
Centre Director
Hi! My name is Nicola and I have lived locally for the past 26 years. I am married with four beautiful daughters and have been working in the childcare industry for the past 15 years.

I graduated from Newcastle University in 1994 with a degree in Early Childhood and began my career as a room leader. I accepted the position of Centre Director at  ABC Port Macquarie in 2006. I have seen many positive changes in the three years I have worked here and look forward to many more!

I enjoy my job and feel honoured to work with the fabulous staff we have on board and am privileged to know and care for the families we have known over the years.

We provide a safe, clean, stimulating learning environment full of fun and love where we aim for all children to thrive.  I look forward to meeting you!
