About Goodstart Yamanto

Goodstart Early Learning Yamanto is located on the southern outskirts of Ipswich. We are central to a newly constructed transport corridor which allows for easy access to Springfield, Ripley and Brisbane.

Our vision focuses on giving children experiences that spark curiosity and imagination. We work from a strong foundation of child focused practice and curriculum.

For it is when:
“we learn with pleasure that we never forget “ - Alfred Mercier.

The team at Goodstart Yamanto are a diverse group of educators who bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and fun to the service. We work from a strengths-based focus which enhances what we offer to children, families and community.

Key Educator Relationships form the basis upon which we strive to develop strong and meaningful relationships with you and your child/ren. Every child in our service has their own Key Educator, whose focus, is to support you and your child during your time at the centre. This promotes consistency in care, responsiveness to each family /child and enhances best outcomes for all the centre’s children.

We offer a child led curriculum that is guided by The Early Years Learning Framework & My Time, Our Place School age framework, which is a National Educational curriculum aimed at enhancing our children’s identity, sense of community, wellbeing, learning and communication. This is a holistic approach which forms the basis for children to develop and grow the skills required to navigate and thrive in times of change, challenge and transition.

Our indoor and outdoor environments are open and spacious. We are well resourced with high quality resources and equipment that enhances each child’s interests and skills.

We believe that animals bring a sense of calm and wellbeing to the environment, as well as an understanding of our world. As part of our Yamanto family we have Miss Moo and Fluffy the guinea pigs, Squirtle the turtle, chickens and our beautiful fish tank where our sharks live. These opportunities to interact with our natural world help children develop and foster a love for nature as well as develop an understanding of the importance of interdependence and sustainability.

Please feel free to book a tour or pop in and see us, we would love to share the magic of childhood with you and your family.
