About Goodstart Bongaree
Goodstart Bongaree is located on the service road of First Avenue. We are within walking distance of the bus stop and across the road from Bribie Island State School. Our service caters for children from 15 months to 12 years of age.
Our purpose-built centre has two yards, which allows the younger and older children to interact specifically with their developmental groups on age-appropriate equipment. However there is a gate that separates the two yards that we will open at times to allow access to the whole yard. We are also very flexible with our environments and will cater to siblings or friends who would like to visit one another during the day.
Each room has direct yard access allowing a versatile range of experiences of both indoor and outdoor environments. All rooms are well equipped with a variety of educational toys and materials that are frequently refreshed.
Goodstart Bongaree has a holistic approach to learning and implements an emergent curriculum in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework. Our centre exceeds quality standards and we have a friendly, caring team of committed educators who provide a safe, secure, education-based service for all children attending.
The centre believes in allowing the children to engage in natural materials and therefore in our environments natural resources are utilised as well as resources that allow open ended play to engage the children’s creativity and curiosity. We also view children as very competent and capable learners and community members, and understand the importance for chidlren to feel connected to their local community to assist in building their resilience and sense of identity. Therefore our service has strong partnerships with the local schools and library and visit these services regularly. The centre also engages in beach and bush kindy to allow children that ability to explore their community and engage with nature to build problem solving skills, social and emotional skills and their own sense of self.
Our playground was jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State Governments through grants designed to improve access to early learning services, and assist centres in meeting the requirements of the National Quality Standards. The outdoor spaces were designed by our centre team, who consulted with children, families and community members to develop our plans.
We look forward to welcoming your family to our centre. Please drop by at any time.
