About Goodstart Tumbi Umbi

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Tumbi Umbi is in leafy pocket of suburbia, close to local services, making the daily drop-off and pick-up stress free. We are safe and convenient and cater to children in rooms from Nursery to Preschool.

Our centre vision is “Creating Opportunities”. We want children to discover their world with curiosity, confidence and imagination and build positive relationships with everyone they encounter.

We have a dedicated team of educators who are passionate about the role they play in the children's lives and are committed to providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment. Our programs, which are aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, encourage the children to reach their full potential by ensuring their individual needs and interests are factored into their learning.

Our rooms are stimulating and based around fun and experience-based learning. Outside, we have big shaded yards with a vegetable patch and natural gardens, unique timber hand crafted resources and a variety of sensory areas.

We strive to build strong relationships with our 186-plus families and encourage parent feedback and participation. We enjoy coming together with our families and our local communities for special occasions and aim to hold a different event each month to encourage the local community and our centre to come together to empower the lives of the children and the families in which we collaborate with.

We would love to meet you and your family! Come in, say hello and see how we can help set your child on a lifelong journey of learning.
