About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Wynnum West – Crawford Road has been a part of the community since 1996 and is located in a residential area close to Wynnum Plaza, the train station and local schools.

Our centre is fully air conditioned with two Nursery rooms, two Toddler rooms and two Senior Toddler rooms a Pre-Kindergarten and two Kindergarten rooms.

Each room implements an individualised program that is in line with the 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; and we are focused on ensuring the children are ready to take that all-important step up to school.

Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights, 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 age appropriate play spaces and equipment, all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment, as well as their understanding of the importance of sustainability. Our four areas have sandpits, dry creek beds, large verandah spaces, garden beds, a secret garden, vegie patches with worm farms and compost bins, cubby houses AND a climbing fort.

We provide a nutritionally balanced menu of morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. The menu is subject to change seasonally and to suit individual children's dietary requirements. We also supply nappies for the younger children and assist with toileting.

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.

We would love for you to come and visit our service and let us show you what we have to offer here at Goodstart Crawford Rd.

Sue Chapman

Centre Director

Hi, my name is Sue Chapman, and I am really looking forward to working alongside everyone at Goodstart Crawford Road.

I am the mother of 7 wonderful children and 4 beautiful grandchildren. Children bring great joy to my life.
I bring with me a portfolio of professional experience ranging from managing OSHC, family day care and long day care services, Community Child Care Benefit funded service as well as specialized qualifications and experience working with more complex need’s families in family support programs.
My passion lies in advocating for and supporting all children to receive a physically and emotionally safe, high-quality early learning experience.
I strongly embrace and celebrate the benefits of First Nations perspectives on the early childhood experience, and I work closely with First Nations community leaders to ensure that early childhood learning environments and curriculum are responsive to the needs of First Nations children.
I really enjoy connection, so, when I am not engaged in all the administration side of being a director, you will often find me in the rooms having a yarn, engaging in critically reflective conversations, and just helping where I can.
They say that educators are children’s first teachers, however, I seem to learn so much from children every day.

My Early Learning values:

I strongly believe that your child’s first 5 years are the most important, it’s where they learn the fundamentals for a great start in life.

What I love about our community:

The people! From a quick morning hello to the amazing support given when we do a local fund-raising drive it is the people who build our community.

A little more about me:

When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family, we enjoy going out on day tours and experiencing this wonderful land we live on. I enjoy reading, dancing and singing, you will often hear me sing about my day, burst out in song to celebrate achievements and to boost moral within the centre.
