About Goodstart McDowall
Goodstart Early Learning McDowall is a purpose built centre conveniently located in Flockton Street shopping precinct, providing care for children aged six weeks to five years.
All educators from nursery through to kindergarten are trained in early childhood development, health and safety and the early years learning framework. Our qualified Kindergarten teacher utilizes links with local primary schools to provide our children with tools for success in school.
Our aim is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can build a sense of belonging. We believe in a play based learning environment that supports children to have agency and build connection with country and culture.
Our storypark platform for communication provides families with instant access to their child's learning journeys and provide a secure tool for effective communication between the service educators and management with families.
We believe that all children are individual and cater to each child's unique needs and development. It takes a village to raise a child and we hope that we can support your family through this exciting experience, that is quality early childhood education.

Amanda Craddock Centre Director
Hello, my name is Amanda Craddock and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart McDowall. I have been the Centre Director for the past 2 years and with Goodstart for 5 years. I’m a mother of two lovely children, Joanna and Griffen.
I love working with children because I feel that we can make a difference in every child’s life by encouraging, supporting and challenging young children to have a go and do their best.
At Goodstart McDowall we believe if we support the children in their early years this will provide them with a great foundation for the transition to school and life beyond.
The best thing about our centre is the strong bond our educators have with our families. We have had many families recommend our centre to their friends, and we also have families who have been with us for many years.
We would love for you to come and have a tour of our centre and meet our wonderful team.
Hi there! Need help? Speak to our friendly family support team.
