About Goodstart Mount Isa

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Mount Isa is the newest centre in the area, providing a fresh and high-quality addition to the town's early education landscape.

Our child care centre is located in the heart of town with fun and educational programs caterring for all age groups.
We have beautiful shaded playgrounds, fully air conditioned rooms, experienced and qualified educators.

Inside, all of the rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - are all set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.

Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.

Outside, we have three areas all with age appropriate play spaces and equipment. We have sandpits, a bark pit, bike track, chicken pen, cubby house and a balance of natural and manmade play surfaces.

Our number one priority is to ensure that we build strong relationships and friendships with all of our families. We have many special events throughout the year giving families an opportunity to meet and greet and build special relationships with other families within the centre.

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.

Come in 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.

We provide early learning & care to these groups:

Malo Palamo Centre Director

Hi there! My name is Malo and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Mount Isa.

I have worked in the early learning industry since 2011 and I have a Diploma of Children's Services. During my career I have had the opportunity to work with different age groups and across the variety of areas in the industry.

At the heart of everything I do is the fact we are providing a safe and nurturing environment in which children - our future - can grow and learn. It is a great privilege to be the voice of these children and to help them learn to develop their own voices, to nurture their individuality, and provide the highest quality in care.

The team I am fortunate to work with shares my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.

We warmly welcome new families, so please stop by! We would love to explore how we can support you and your child on their pathway to lifelong learning.

"Lovely staff that helped my little boy settle in well when we moved to town. Every afternoon when I pick him up he is so happy and excited and doesn't want to leave, having read more too much fun playing outside. This reassures me greatly that he is in great care. "

"Both my daughters have been attending Goodstart Mount Isa over the past four years. All of the educators are always so pleasant and upbeat which creates a really positive read more environment for the kids. Consistently, a strength of the service is that the learning objectives and activities are carefully considered and varies week to week. The centre is always clean, safe, organised and decorated with new art projects or new learnings that change regularly. It isn't easy working full-time and sending the girls to daycare, but having Goodstart Mount Isa as the place they go to everyday sets my mind more at ease. I will continue to recommend Goodstart as a daycare option."

"From the start, enquiry about care, enrollment, orientation to when my daughter started, I found the ladies at the Mount Isa centre very helpful, approachable and easy to talk read more to. They made the transition of putting our daughter into daycare all the more easier and we were able to relax and be assured that she would be in great hands! They don't get enough acknowledgement for what they do and they deserve to! Thank you team at Goodstart Mount Isa!"
