Goodstart Merriwa - Childcare Centre

About Goodstart Merriwa Hughie Edwards Drive

Goodstart Merriwa is located off Marmion Avenue and is situated on the expanding north coast, close to local schools, shops, transport and road networks.

MERRIWA means a good place in the aboriginal Noongar tribe. We are a diverse centre with many cultures making up our team and our families. The main focus of our centre is community, we engage with local business and schools to provide children with an understanding of where they live and their heritage.
 
Our Goodstart team endeavour to engage children in quality learning and create plans that are reflective of both intentional teaching possibilities as well as children’s interests.Our centre has been accredited an Exceeding centre by the National Quality Standards. 

Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms are all set up 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.
 
Our Storypark platform enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families so 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 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.

A major focus for our centre is how working with the broader community can help us enrich the children’s learning experience. Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society.

We encourage families to ensure continuous improvement and feedback through our regular parent committee meetings. We like to maintain relationships with our families through open honest communication. 

Book a tour and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind! We would love the chance to show you around.
