About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Kingston is located within the Parliamentary triangle and a five minute drive away from the CBD. 

All of our rooms are run by professional and friendly staff who aim to make their rooms as fun and welcoming as possible. All rooms use the Early Years Learning Framework which fosters learning through play, and parents are encouraged to participate in the program. 

Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, 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 play area has climbing forts, sandpits, verandahs, mud kitchens and digging patches as well as a community garden.

We also encourage parent participation through fun days such as , Mother's Day afternoon tea, Father's Day Breakfast, Easter and Christmas celebrations and individual birthdays.We also support many charities such as Red Nose Day, Bandanna Day, Breast Cancer awareness month, Genes for Jeans Day, Shave for a Cure, Sunnies for Sight Day, The Rotary Club, the 40 Hour Famine and the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at our local Hospital.

Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society.

Our Centre has achieved High Quality Accreditation status, and we are proud to have achieved Centre of the Month 3 times in a row!!

We look forward to meeting you and your family soon! Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.

Cassandra Duff

Centre Director

Hi, my name is Cassandra Duff (Cass) and I have been involved in Early Childhood Education for 13 years.

I started my Early Childhood journey in Orange NSW where I began as a casual. I have worked in several childcare centres since then, performing different roles but originally started my Canberra career at another Goodstart Centre where I stayed for 6 years as the Assistant Director before going to explore other services. Coming back to Goodstart to take on the Director position at Kingston felt so natural – just like I was coming home.

I am very passionate about the importance of the first 5 years of a child’s life. I believe nurturing and a sense of belonging is integral to their growth and development and am looking forward to working with a centre and organisation which shares my passion and beliefs.

I have 47 nieces and nephews which take up a lot of my free time, but hopefully it paints a picture of my understanding of how important family is and that our goal is to help you and your family feel safe and secure in our Goodstart family.
