Welcome to Goodstart Pullenvale is a welcoming early learning centre on Turrbal and Jagera Country, where children are encouraged to explore their interests, develop confidence and take an active role in their learning. Our experienced educators create nurturing, inclusive environments where children feel safe, valued and supported to become capable, curious learners. Conveniently located just off Moggill Road, we're an easy stop for families travelling between Moggill, Bellbowrie, Karana Downs, Karalee, Kenmore and the city. With local schools, shops and community services close by, our centre is a connected part of the Pullenvale community.

  • Experienced, long-standing educators – a dedicated team includes 11 staff, with several educators bringing more than 5–10 years of experience and a strong knowledge of children's development, rights and wellbeing.
  • Child-led learning and school readiness – children are supported to follow their interests while developing independence, confidence and the skills they need for a positive transition to school.
  • Strong local school connections – our relationships with nearby schools help children and families feel supported as they prepare for their next learning journey.
  • Purposeful outdoor learning – children can explore a mud pit, outdoor kitchen, yarning circle and refreshed astroturf, creating opportunities for imaginative, sensory and nature-based play.
  • Inclusive and responsive care – our nurturing educators provide flexible learning experiences and supportive arrangements for children with additional needs.
  • A strong focus on safety and safeguarding – regular fire evacuation, lockdown, medical and weather drills help educators and children practise safe responses in an age-appropriate way.
  • Connected to the local community – our relationship with the Kenmore Toy Library helps create opportunities to support children and families who may have limited access to toys and resources.

At Goodstart Pullenvale, children are known, welcomed and supported from the moment they arrive, with educators building genuine relationships that help each child feel a sense of belonging. Our team includes educators who have had the privilege of caring for siblings across their early years, creating continuity and trusted relationships for families. 

Children learn through play, exploration and intentional teaching, with educators following their ideas and extending their learning in meaningful ways. Our two Bachelor-qualified Kindergarten/Preschool Teachers contribute to a strong program that supports children's development and school readiness. We also have educators who speak Mandarin, Punjabi, Hindi and some German, helping us connect with families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. 

Located close to Pullenvale State School, Our Lady Rosemary School, Moggill State School and Kenmore State School, our centre is well placed for families seeking quality childcare and early learning in Pullenvale.

Kirsty Hartmann

Centre Director
Hi, I’m Kirsty and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Pullenvale.

I have been with Goodstart since 2012.

I have a wealth of experience in all aspects of Leadership and mentoring my teams, past and present to ensure quality practices and relationships are maintained, assisting my service in raising quality, which has been successful. 
 
I have Two children of my own, so we love to explore different parks and navigate different fishing locations, and I also love to paint.
 
My Early Learning values:
I strongly believe that your child should feel comfortable in their learning environment with Educators forming the strong connections for children to want to explore their world. Children are central to everything we do and spending time with them through their learning and growth, brings me joy. All children have the right o feel included and have a network to support them through their life journey.
 
What I love about our community:
Our community is advancing. Making connections with our local schools and wider community to provide the children with a sense of belonging.
 
Why your child should spend the day with me and our team here at Pullenvale:
At Goodstart Pullenvale we are a second family. One where your child will form meaningful relationships, one where your child will be included in all aspects of early learning and also our Educators will always be available to you to share your child’s learning and development journey with you. We have an open-door policy and we look forward to welcoming you and your family to be part of ours.
