About Goodstart Dalby

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Dalby is located in the heart of Dalby, three hours south-east of Brisbane. Our central location allows for easy access to local shops and super markets. The simplicity of our location provides convenient collection for busy families.

Our 74-place centre provides care for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years. Throughout the centre you will observe 5 rooms. These individual rooms provide opportunity for children to engage with children of similar ages and development. With programs planned according to their needs and interests.

Presented within a church, the centre is split into two buildings catering for segregated infant/toddler and 3-5 aged care. Outdoors the children of our centre practice care and respect as they explore a range of natural materials within our environments including vegetable and flower gardens, recycling of food scraps for our chickens and worm farm, collaborative play within our yarning circle sensory play within our mud pits, and quiet spaces that allow children to connect with nature.

Children of all ages are stimulated with both planned and spontaneous experiences including physical play, cognitive play, sensory play, gardening and reflection of the aboriginal and Torres Strait island culture.

The goodstart Dalby team consists of professional and highly qualified staff with several years within the early childhood environment, pop in and see us today take a centre tour.

We provide early learning & care to these groups:

Courtney Hohn Centre Director

Hi and welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Dalby. My name is Courtney and I am the Centre Director here at the Dalby service.

I have been working in the Early Learning Sector since 2009 and currently hold my Diploma of Children’s Services. I am the mum to 4 children aged between 10 and 5 and I am a passionate advocate for the creation of stimulating, happy and safe environments in which our children can investigate, explore and learn through play.

I believe that strong positive relationships with children, families and communities are the foundation for quality early learning. It is through these relationships in a child's first 5 years, that children will receive the tools that will help set them up for success for the rest of their life.

The team and I would welcome the opportunity to show you through our centre and discuss how we can support you to give your child the best possible start in life.

"The teaching team in the Kindergarten, are truly amazing teachers! It is evident that they are dedicated, enthusiastic and genuinely committed to ensuring that the students read more are ready to transition to prep. The content and scope that they have taught my daughter in a matter of weeks is truly amazing – especially for a four year old. Each time I collect my daughter she is actively engaged in either group time, an activity or in play based learning outside. This structure and routine has not only had a positive effect on my daughter in the schooling environment but also in the home environment. My daughter is always excited about going to Kindy. The way in which the team communicate with parents, such as myself, is fantastic! My husband and I know what our daughter is learning. Very impressive! "
