About Goodstart Stafford Heights

Goodstart Stafford Heights is located in a quiet, family orientated area in North Brisbane. Close to private and public schools as well as frequent public transportation, Goodstart Stafford Heights is conveniently accessible.

Our child care centre provides quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks old to 5 years old. We are proud to support families from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. We provide a natural environment for children and families with playgrounds surrounded by gardens and trees.

With a majority of educators who have either completed or are studying towards their Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, our service aims to support children's learning through high quality interactions, experiences and opportunities. We also have an Early Childhood Teacher who runs the Kindergarten program five days per week. Our educators implement the Early Years Learning Framework to develop child-centred learning programs. The interests and needs of each individual child are followed and supported with care. Parent involvement within our class programs is encouraged and very much appreciated.

At Goodstart Stafford Heights, we believe that communication between families, children and educators is the key to success. Our educators at Goodstart Stafford Heights work closely with families to ensure that routines are followed as best as possible and time is taken to get to know each child - their likes, dislikes, backgrounds, individual needs and interests. Families are encouraged to speak with our Centre Director or room educators at any time, always maintaining confidentiality.

Goodstart Stafford Heights feels that supporting our local community and culture is vital. We enjoy inviting our local community and families into our centre to share knowledge, skills and culture as this open's the children's eyes to the world around them, which is important in their learning journey.

We invite you to call, email or visit our centre and take a tour to meet our fantastic team.

"As a first time mum who read up extensively on child care centres, I was a little apprehensive at leaving my 3 and a half month old in the hands of a stranger with a room read more full of children that were older than him. In addition to that, finding a centre who was interested in my sons enrollment was exhausting. At most centres we were simply a name on a list that could be easily replaced.
The Centre Director at Goodstart Stafford Heights contacted me regularly to advise our progress on the list and when the time came that we had secured a spot, invited us in for orientation. From that moment we knew we had made the right choice. The educators are welcoming and nurturing.I have had only the most positive experiences at this centre and feel as though our family have been accepted into their family."
