About Goodstart Murarrie
Goodstart Early Learning Murarrie is located in the busy Metroplex hub at 20 Metroplex Avenue Murarrie. There is ample parent parking at the service for convenient drop-off and pick-up and for families, and a handy bus service close to the centre.
Goodstart Murarrie has been providing quality early childhood education to the local community and business district for over 11 years. There are a range of local schools close to the vicinity, both public and private.
We currently operate 2 centres, Unit 1 and Unit 2, offering care from 6 weeks up to school age. Partnerships with our families are paramount. We acknowledge the uniqueness and diversity of all children encompassing individual learning styles, backgrounds and cultures. We provide children with opportunities to participate in open ended ways.
We have a large team of dedicated Educators, whom bring a wealth of knowledge and our Kindergarten is run by a qualified teacher who holds his Bachelor in Early Childhood Education.
Communication is highly regarded at the centre and families receive a bi-monthly newsletter, which talks about important events happening in the service and the local community. We also have a calendar of events for the year.
Children's learning and needs are ever-changing and we offer families opportunities to discuss this development with their child's teachers on a regular basis. Progress of learning is documented and available for families to view at any time through their child's Learning Profiles.
The children and families love the extra-curricular activities that are available throughout the year as well as the yearly calendar of events that has lots of fun interactive experiences on offer, including community shows and wildlife experiences.
We ensure that hungry tummies are being filled with yummy meals and we currently offer meals prepared by Kids Gourmet Food . Our playgrounds back onto the beautiful scenic backdrop of the native bushland, which attracts a variety of birds and wild life and our children enjoy taking pictures of and drawing the native flora and fauna.

Tanya Hurley O Flynn Centre Director
Hi there! I'm Tanya and I have been the Centre Director at Murarrie since December 2021.
I have lived in Brisbane since 2011 when I moved here from Ireland. I have one son and love to spend my free time with family and friends in the beautiful outdoors.
Working with children is my passion and I love to watch them learn and grow as individuals. I have been in the industry for over 13 years both here in Brisbane and in Ireland. I am passionate about children’s development and education and an advocate for children’s rights and safety.
Here at Murarrie we aim to make each family feel a sense of belonging. We provide an environment that is safe, nurturing, and secure.Connecting with the community through charity and supporting others is very important to me. My priority is the children, educators, and families of the service.
I look forward to welcoming you and your child to our wonderful centre and meeting our amazing team.
