About Goodstart Pacific Pines
Goodstart Pacific Pines is conveniently located across the road from the Pacific Pines Primary School and next door to Pacific Pines High school. We have a large off road car park and are on the local bus route which makes pick-up and drop-off stress-free.
Opening in November 2001, our centre was the first child care centre in Pacific Pines and we have been servicing the needs of the local community with high quality care since then. We cater for children from 6 weeks to 5 years and operate a Baby Centre (6 weeks - 2 years) and a Main Centre (2 - 5 years). We have provided care to hundreds of families, who come from a variety of cultural backgrounds in the Pacific Pines area and are able to assist families integrate into the local community.
All staff are long term employees with the average length of time here at the centre being six years. All our Educators are fully qualified holding either their Diploma or Certificate 3.
We hold regular events throughout the year that families are invited to attend. We also have an open door policy and welcome families into the centre at any time. Daily information regarding the day’s activities is available to view in each child's room and on Storypark - an online application where we share and communicate privately with the people that matter most to your child.
We offer a number of extracurricular activities such as Russian lessons (at no extra cost), Future Champs for our Kindergarten classes (Included in cost of fees), and Happy Feet. We also have animals that the children help to look after throughout the day. Our children love the wide variety of activities that are provided and families love the open and personal communication with educators.
We look forward to meeting you and your family.

Lauren Watson Centre Director
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Pacific Pines. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services and have been with the company since 2009.
Over the last decade I have had the opportunity to work across a variety of communities, age groups and roles, which have influenced my beliefs and investment in child development. Investing in the first five years of a child’s life has a huge impact on their later learning and life outcomes.
“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.” - Forest E. Witcraft Teacher, Scholar.
I invite you to come and see our engaging learning environments. Please feel free to stay for a play and get to know our dedicated Educators. Choosing the right service for your family, where you all feel comfortable, safe and secure is so important and I hope we can become your home away from home. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and when a new family starts at Goodstart Pacific Pines we do everything we can to become a part of that family’s village.
