About Goodstart Middle Ridge

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Middle Ridge is located in a well-developed area of Toowoomba, close to new residential developments, school, shops and community services.
 
Our centre opened more than 15 years ago, meaning we have strong links with our community. We are fully equipped with a wide variety of age appropriate resources to facilitate learning, exploration, play and creativity. Inside, our rooms are designed and set up around our curriculum activities and we cater to children in rooms from Nursery through to Kindergarten and nutritious meals are provided.
 
Our programs are developed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines to ensure all children are well prepared to make a smooth transition to school. We also ensure the individual needs and interests of each child is taken into account and, through close communication with families and parents, these are built into each child’s plan.
 
Outside, we have a beautiful big backyard filled with trees and gardens as well as a bike tracks, vege patches and plenty of environments which encourage the children’s understanding of nature and sustainability in safe, sensory-based, fun surrounds. 
 
At Goodstart Middle Ridge, our educators and carers have long associations with the centres, their longevity and commitment to the children lending to a combined level of service not often found. This allows us to provide a stable learning environment and build strong and lasting relationships with children, families and community.
 
Our team is very focused on providing high quality child care and education to the children and their families based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

Farheen Centre Director

Hello, my name is Farheen and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Middle Ridge.

I have a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education as well as a Montessori Diploma and have worked with children for over 15 years, of which 8 have been in senior leadership positions in Australia and overseas.

I have a passion for working with young children and giving children under 5 the best start in life and setting them up to continue their educational journey successfully. I am passionate about learning through play and providing unique and exciting opportunities through which children’s curiosity is ignited and love of learning develops. I am also very focused on mentoring staff and helping them further develop skills and qualities which assist them in providing a better experience for children in their care.

I look forward to meeting and welcoming you and your child into our centre and Goodstart Middle Ridge family.

    "I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Goodstart Middle Ridge. All educators are friendly, caring individuals with a genuine passion for all the children.
    The read more centre is always clean and tidy - that's saying something for the educators who obviously are powerhouses when it comes to cleaning up after so many little ones! This just proves they take the health and safety of the children, parents and other team members very seriously.Healthy meals are always on the menu and I can tell my little one enjoys meal times immensely!I am confident I picked the right child care centre as I feel that my daughter is shown an endless amount of care, love and attention.
    Thank you to all the educators, who have made this a positive experience for me."
