About Goodstart Cowra

At Goodstart Cowra, we believe the foundations for a lifelong love of learning begins here.
With the guidance of our skilled educators your child will learn to think, problem solve and work collaboratively. They’ll experience the joy of helping others and the satisfaction of mastering something new – all great skills for school and life.

Goodstart Early Learning Cowra is situated close to the centre of town, within walking distance to Cowra’s nature-based adventure playground and the iconic Japanese Gardens. Our learning environments reflect individual children’s learning and development underpinned by the National Early Years learning framework and Quality Standards,

Our centre consists of three rooms; nursery (0-2), toddlers (2-3) and prekinder (3-5). We also have one room set aside for meetings, therapy support space, family information session and much more. Our large outdoor spaces encourage children to play, explore and imagine. Our outdoor learning curriculum scaffolds children’s increasing knowledge of, and respect for natural and constructed environments.

We strive to work collaboratively with families by various methods of social media platforms; Facebook; to promote & notify families and the community of happenings within our centre & Storypark where we can document and communicate learning as it happens via photos, videos and observations within a secure online environment. This enable educators and families to maintain a consistent and clear line of communication to record children’s developments, milestones and achievements. In addition, we hold family gatherings, information sessions and community events, plus communications via newsletters.

We pride ourselves on our participation in community events, visits to the schools plus walks around our neighborhood and now working with Tresillian-Cowra in bringing information sessions to our families to support their needs. Providing these opportunities support the children to develop a sense of belonging to the local community.

Our preschool program lays the foundations for learning skills in preparation for the transition to big school. We support the orientation visits with the local schools and work in close partnership with the teachers and families for a smooth beginning in Kindergarten.

We look forward to meeting you and your family soon. Come in and have a tour of our exceeding service.

    "After much hesitation I returned to work when my son was seven months old. Looking at all the child care centres in town, I decided to enrol my son into Goodstart. Unlike most read more centres who have babies and infants 0-3 in their youngest room, Goodstart's baby room had babies 0-2 and while they had several educators in the room, knowing there was one main educator responsible for four children was refreshing because I knew my son would be cared for closely. This was the best decision I made. The educators were enthusiastic, nurturing and welcoming, happy to see us every time we came to the centre. They were accomodating to me coming and feeding my son at lunchtime and gave me a special area to nurse and kept me well informed of how his day was. They were highly educated about development and were able to get my son (and all the other children) to nap in the day (amazing to see 12 little people asleep at the same time!). "

    "Goodstart Cowra has been a valuable part of my family's life. The staff are enthusiastic, professional and caring. My daughters both love going to daycare and I feel confident read more their needs will be taken care of and that they will learn and be encouraged. The staff communicate effectively with me about my children and keep me up to date with any changes happening in the centre. I will never hesitate to recommend Goodstart Cowra to other families. "

    "I trust these wonderful educational professionals with my son. I couldn't be happier with how well my child has blossomed at this centre. The educators are amazing and my son read more loves it there."

  • Michaela

    "We have been a part of the Goodstart family for 3 years now. The staff are helpful, supportive and my daughters love them. I have always found communication with Goodstart read more easy. My daughters learns new things every week including songs, alphabet, reading and counting. They love the activities and always come home with great stories of their friends and carers. The staff have been great with toilet training and sticking to my routines. I recommend everyone take their children to Goodstart and if we ever move away from Cowra we will still use a Goodstart because we agree with their policies and dedication to our children."
