Close community, nature, and family life for educators in Tasmania
Kadie Cunningham, Assistant Director of Goodstart Kings Meadows, moved back for a better life.
Goodstart Gympie is a four room centre, situated a few minutes from the heart of town, we are in close proximity to local primary and high schools, local bus route, IGA and Coles Shopping Centre and the main street of Gympie.Goodstart Gympie provides quality care to children from 12 months to five years of age.
This purpose-built centre includes spacious classrooms and 2 separate playgrounds with natural spaces. It is fully airconditioned. The centre provides nutritional morning, lunch and afternoon tea prepared by our on-site cook.
Inside, all the rooms from Junior Toddlers to Kindergarten, we provide a stimulating play-based curriculum which is developed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.
We recognize the environment as a third teacher and therefore our indoor and outdoor environments cater to the needs and abilities of the children, while also sparking their individual creativity. We utilize natural materials and open-ended resources to ensure your child can be the driver of their own learning.
It is our passion to care, teach and guide children through their milestones of development and learning. Being a part of Goodstart has given us the opportunity to share this passion with you and your family. We are devoted to the wellbeing and development of your child. We believe that the initial bond that your family has with us will only strengthen with time.
Our Storypark platform enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor programs to meet individual needs, interests and strengths while working collaboratively with each individual family.
Our centre boasts a team of qualified, passionate, highly experienced, friendly staff who are dedicated to ensuring that we provide the highest quality care.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family and explore how we can support you on this early learning adventure.
I have been in the childcare and education sector for over 30 years in various roles and completed my Diploma in Children’s Services in 2000.
I believe that all children deserve the highest quality care, learning and safety in a nurturing, caring and happy environment.
I strive to build strong relationships with the children, families and educators who are apart of our Goodstart family and sharing in special milestones and achievements that we all find so important in our little people’s lives.
I welcome you all to come and visit our Goodstart Gympie centre and have a tour of our facilities and meet our team of wonderful, qualified educators where we can discuss your child’s and families needs and see how we can best support you.
