Welcome to Goodstart Boronia Heights – Mackellar Drive 

Located on Yuggerah and Yugambeh land, Goodstart Boronia Heights – Mackellar Drive offers a warm and welcoming early learning environment where children feel safe, supported and free to explore. Tucked away in a quiet residential pocket, our smaller, close-knit centre creates a strong sense of belonging for every child and family. With experienced educators and a focus on connection, children are supported to build confidence, independence and meaningful relationships. Book a tour to experience how your child can learn and grow with us. 

What makes our centre special: 

  • Close-knit, family-like environment – a smaller centre where children feel known, supported and connected 
  • Large shared outdoor space – one open yard encouraging sibling connections, freedom of movement and exploration 
  • All-weather outdoor play – expansive undercover area allowing children to play and learn outside, year-round 
  • Strong, longstanding team – including leadership with over 15 years at Goodstart, building trusted relationships with families 
  • Multicultural educator team – speaking multiple languages to support diverse families and enrich learning including Chinese, Punjabi and Arabic
  • Strong school connections – including opportunities to support a smooth and confident transition to primary school 
  • Fresh, nutritious meals prepared onsite – with a dedicated cook creating meals from scratch each day 

Each day, children are encouraged to follow their interests through play-based learning guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines. Our environments are designed to support curiosity, creativity and independence, allowing children to move freely between experiences and build confidence at their own pace. 

Our unique outdoor environment plays a central role in children’s learning. With garden beds, fruit trees and open play areas, children are supported to explore nature, take safe risks and develop a sense of responsibility for the world around them. 

We pride ourselves on creating a centre where relationships come first. Educators share working across opening and closing shifts, allowing them to build connections with all children and families – creating a truly inclusive and supportive community. 

Families often tell us they love the homely feel of our centre and the genuine care shown by our team. Take a tour today to meet our educators and explore our spaces or book a tour to see how we can support your child’s early learning journey every step of the way.

Cathy Kenny

Centre Director
Hi there! My name is Cathy and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Boronia Heights – Mackellar Drive.

I have a Diploma in Children’s Services and I am studying for my Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood.

I have enjoyed working in the early education and child care industry since 2003 and I have worked with all age groups from nursery right through to school age children. I started as a relief Assistant and have progressed through to a Group Leader, and now to Centre Director.

I feel so privileged to be in a position where we can provide real and meaningful outcomes to families – and support them on this early learning journey.

Every child has the right to a high quality early learning experience. It’s our job to make that possible!

It's a passion I share with the team I am fortunate to work with. With years of experience and excellent qualifications, this is a team of dedicated and committed professionals.

We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.
