Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Burleigh is located centrally in Varsity Lakes, within walking distance of two local primary schools and close to shops and a medical centre. Public transport is right at our doorstep.

We are part of a close-knit community where many families see one another socially outside of service hours. It is not only the children, but also the families, that grow together. We have been operating for 22 years, and maintain strong relationships with the community, especially our local primary schools and health agencies.

We are proud to state we have many long standing educators who have been with the child care centre for five years or longer. Our educators genuinely love their jobs, are all qualified, and they enjoy seeing the growth and development of children at our centre.

At Goodstart Burleigh, we have close relationships with all of our families, and maintain constant communication not only verbally but also through media such as email, newsletters, and displays within the centre. Families are always invited to attend our service to help out, show and share different cultures, be a part of our calender of events, or just celebrate living.

Our service has five rooms that cater for children from six weeks until five years of age – Nursery to Kindergarten. The curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines.

Our rooms are large and spacious, and we have separate playgrounds for each age group. Our indoor and outdoor play areas are all set up (and frequently refreshed) to provide the children with a stimulating and fun experience. Our Kindergarten program offers free yoga lessons to the children and we also offer extra-curricular activities of tennis lessons and Little Big Sport.

We welcome you and your family to the centre! Come along, say hello and see what we can offer you and your children.

When every moment counts, make them Goodstart moments.

Fiona Morgan

Centre Director
Hi, I’m Fiona Morgan and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Burleigh
I’ve been in the early learning sector for more than 25 years and joined Goodstart Burleigh in August 2025. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and am currently studying a Graduate Diploma of Early Childhood Education.

I believe every child thrives when there is a strong, respectful partnership between educators and families. Working together ensures children feel supported, understood, and confident to explore the world around them. My philosophy centres on creating a safe, engaging environment where children’s voices are heard, their individuality is celebrated, and learning is driven by wonder and discovery.

My Early Learning Values
Curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning are at the heart of everything I do. I believe in empowering children to develop independence while feeling secure, respected, and connected to those around them.


What I Love About Our Community
Our Burleigh community is warm, vibrant, and full of heart. I love how families, educators, and children come together to support one another and build strong, lasting relationships.


A Little More About Me
When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family, enjoying family picnics, planning our next travel adventure, or capturing special moments with my camera.


Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team at Goodstart Burleigh)
At Goodstart Burleigh, we’re more than just educators — we’re a team who cares deeply about every child and family who walks through our doors. We fill each day with laughter, play, friendships, and meaningful learning experiences that spark joy and curiosity. When your child joins us, they don’t just attend a centre — they become part of a caring, connected community where they feel safe, happy, and truly valued.


I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our community.
