Located on Yuwi land in Mackay’s Northern Beaches, Goodstart Rural View is a place where children feel secure, supported and ready to explore their world. Our long-standing team creates a calm and consistent environment where children can build strong relationships and grow with confidence. Through play-based learning and a focus on school readiness, each child is supported to develop at their own pace. Book a tour to see how your child can learn, grow and belong with us.
What makes our centre special:
Each day, children are encouraged to follow their interests through hands-on, play-based experiences guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our learning environments – from Nursery through to Kindergarten – are designed to support curiosity, creativity and confidence. Outdoor spaces invite children to explore, take risks and connect with the natural environment.
Our strong team consistency means children feel safe and supported by familiar educators who truly know them. Through excursions and incursions, particularly within our Kindergarten program, children are given opportunities to engage with their wider community and build real-world connections.
Families often tell us it is our people, our program and the sense of continuity that make our centre feel like a second home. Whether you are just starting your early learning journey or preparing for school, we would love to welcome you. Take a tour today to meet our team, or book a visit to experience our learning environment firsthand.
I have been in the child care and early learning sector since 1996 and have worked my way through various roles including casual assistant, centre floater, assistant and group leader, before accepting the position of Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Rural View in January 2007.
Throughout this time I have studied, gaining a Certificate III in Children's Services, a Diploma and an Advanced Diploma's of Children's Services. I love every single day of my job and the experiences it has given me.
I love supporting the families and children of the centre as they discover each new, fun and exciting day with us. For me, that's what this role is all about. We have such a great responsibility to give these children the highest standard of early education and in doing so, we need to ensure parents have peace of mind.
We nurture a culture of support, diversity, acceptance and tolerance, as well as cementing the principles of sustainability.
I am fortunate to work with a highly qualified and experienced team, whose passion for the industry and their roles therein is matched by a commitment to giving the children the highest quality learning experiences.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family and discussing how we can support you and your child on the pathway to lifelong learning.
