Goodstart Broadmeadow - Childcare Centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Broadmeadow is centrally located in the Newcastle CBD making it a great location for families living and working in surrounding areas. Our child care centre is situated close to Hamilton North and New Lambton public schools, and is walking distance to Broadmeadow train station and public transport services. 
Our centre has been converted from an old federation style home which has given it a very unique cottage look and homely feel. 
 
Our well trained and empowered educators are the core of our child care centre. We recognise that team work is vital in ensuring our centre runs efficiently and in the best interest of all children, families and the community. Continuity of educators, together with our values and beliefs provide the foundation for us to work together as a team and deliver high quality care in our Newcastle based child care centre. 
 
We offer a child centred program based upon the principles and practice outlined in the National Early Year's Learning Framework. We work closely in partnership with families to extend children’s individual learning experiences. The educational experiences we offer, support children in developing dispositions for learning and life skills, which aid them in their transition to school and adulthood. Our centre’s vision is ‘to create a caring environment in which all children will thrive’. 

Our Storypark platform, as well as emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.

Outside, we have two areas all with age appropriate play spaces and equipment. With a balance of manmade and natural play experiences - and a host of features such as gardens, open space for exploring, sandpits and sensory areas - we are able to give the children the freedom to explore and let their imaginations grow, while protecting them and keeping them safe.
 
Community is very important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
 
We acknowledge and value our own Indigenous heritage and that of the wider community locally, nationally and internationally. We acknowledge that the centre is built on Awabakal land and pay respect to the Aboriginal people past and present. 

We look forward to meeting you and your family soon! Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.
