High quality early learning: Spotlighting the 2025 Goodstart Centre of the Year
Skilled educators and teachers shaping futures every day.
Located on Yuggera and Turrbal land, Goodstart Carindale offers a welcoming early learning environment where children feel safe, supported and inspired to learn. Conveniently positioned on Bridgnorth Street, just behind Old Cleveland Road and alongside Belmont State School, our centre is well connected for busy families. With a long-standing team and strong community connections, children are supported to build confidence, independence and a sense of belonging. Take a tour to discover how your child can thrive with us.
What makes our centre special:
Each day, children are encouraged to explore, create and learn through play-based experiences that reflect their interests and strengths. Our educators take the time to build meaningful relationships, supporting children to feel confident, secure and ready to learn.
Our programs are designed to support each child’s development across all areas, with a strong focus on school readiness and building independence. With two Bachelor-qualified Kindergarten teachers, children are supported to develop the skills they need for a successful transition to school.
We are proud of our diverse community, where children learn to respect and celebrate different cultures, languages and perspectives. Through inclusive programs and shared experiences, children develop a strong sense of belonging and understanding of the world around them.
Families often tell us they value our warm, welcoming environment and the strong relationships their children build with educators. Book a tour today to meet our team or take a tour to see how we can support your child’s early learning journey every step of the way.


We have a great team of staff with an immense amount of experience and knowledge which we use to help children grow in a happy and safe environment. I believe that children should grow at their own pace and in their own time. My team always ensures that we cater for all the needs of our families and children. I also have two young children of my own, a daughter born in 2008 and a son born in 2011.
I always look forward to meeting new people and encourage you to book in a tour to view our beautiful centre.
