About Goodstart Indooroopilly Witton Road

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Indooroopilly - Witton Road is located in the suburban streets of Indooroopilly, close to Westfield Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, local schools, and right next door to the Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Brisbane Office.

Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten – are all geared with this in mind. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling.

This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements.

Outside, our four playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.

We have a vegetable patch in the Toddler and Kindergarten playground and enjoy teaching the children about the environment; while there are also sandpits, a fort, climbing frames and lots of shade to entertain the children.

All meals are prepared on site by our qualified cook who uses tasty, fresh and nutritional ingredients – just the thing to keep hungry tummies satisfied.

Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family. Come in and take a look around, meet the team and explore how we can support your early learning journey.

We provide early learning & care to these groups:

Cassandra Nolan Centre Director

Hi there! My name is Cassandra and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Indooroopilly - Witton Road.

I have worked in Early Childhood Education since 1999. I started as a volunteer student at a local Preschool. This ignited my passion for Early Childhood Education.

Since then, I have completed a Diploma in Children’s Services and held a variety of roles including Educator, Senior Educator, Centre Director, Recruitment Manager, Staffing Manager and Operations Manager. I have returned to the position of Centre Director to do what I love – Educate and Care for children.

I believe in respectful practices with our children. My personal philosophy is heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia practices and the respectful practices demonstrated by Childspace in New Zealand. As a leader, my passion is working with Educators to provide Exceeding Quality Education and Care. I work closely with my team to develop their skills, to grow as educators and industry professionals.

Loris Malaguzzi, the found of Reggio Emilia’s Educational Philosophy, said it best: “Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths and languages, and to overcome and obstacle presented by our culture” Loris Malaguzzi.

"We are very pleased that the centre offers meals which exposed my child to variety of food and flavours from early days. We noticed that she started to eat some vegetables read more which she wouldn't want to get near before. She can also name quite a lot fruits and vegetables in the supermarkets. Besides, when we used to prepare meals, it was not only time consuming in the morning, but also hard to come up with different food ideas. We strongly believe by providing meals, the centre has made positive impact on my child's growth and development."

The wonderful team know read more my children and their needs to help develop their milestones. The teachers have formed great relationships with my children allowing the drop off an easy process and the knowing that my children are safe, loved and being taught each day. The food is wonderful with the variety that is available for lunches and afternoon tea. It has made my child try new foods and enjoy them. Nappies provided is a great help too.
