About Goodstart Coffs Harbour
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Coffs Harbour is located close to the CBD in a residential area, making the daily drop-off and pick-up convenient and stress-free. We are an 86 place centre, that caters for children aged six weeks to six years in rooms from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool.
With experienced, qualified and long-service carers and educators, we can work with your child to ensure their individual needs and interests are catered to, while providing them with the highest-quality early learning within the Early Years Learning Framework. Each room is age appropriate and enables your child to develop to their fullest potential. We have a huge number of resources and toys which assist your child in their development.
Outdoors, we have two spacious playgrounds, each with big gardens where we grow vegetables and herbs, sandpits and natural surround to provide experience and sensory-based learning around themes of sustainability, diversity and the environment.
Our centre prides itself on its links with our diverse community and by welcoming a number of refugee families into our centre family, our children enjoy the opportunity to learn about different cultures and ways of life. Our parents and families are our most important partners in the children’s learning and through open, clear communication we are able to ensure your child has every opportunity to access highest-quality early education.
Our team prides itself on a close knowledge of children's development and behaviours. We strive to create a welcoming and fun atmosphere for all the children within the centre, providing plenty of choice and stimulation.

Marg Brien Centre Director
Hi there! My name is Marg and I have been the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Coffs Harbour since November 2015. I have more than 40 years experience in the child care sector and I have been a part of the Goodstart family for about five years. I have a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and a commitment to staying abreast of the latest research and developments in the care and education of children.
During my time working in early learning, I have had experience with all age groups and central to our philosophy is the interests, needs and strengths of the children. By working with parents and keeping clear and open lines of communication, we are able to provide children with the highest quality early learning experiences and opportunities.
I am privileged to lead a team of experiened, highly qualified carers and educators; all with a commitment to ensuring all children have access to education and care - whatever their ability or circumstance.
It would be my pleasure to welcome you to our centre, to show you around and explore the opportunities available to give your child the best start as a lifelong learner.
