Welcome to Goodstart Bees Creek 

Located on Larrakia Country, Goodstart Bees Creek offers a calm, nature-rich learning environment where children are supported to explore, discover and grow. Surrounded by natural bushland, our centre provides a peaceful setting where children can connect with nature and develop confidence through play. With a strong focus on relationships and child-led learning, every child is supported to feel safe, valued and heard. Book a tour to experience our unique rural learning environment.

What makes our centre special:

  • Nature-rich outdoor environments – offering bushland surrounds and natural materials for exploration and discovery 
  • Calm, family-like atmosphere – where children feel safe, supported and connected 
  • Experienced, stable team – providing consistency and strong relationships for children and families 
  • Multicultural team – with educators speaking multiple languages to support diverse families including Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Italian, Vietnamese and Punjabi
  • Child-led, play-based learning – encouraging curiosity, creativity and independent thinking 
  • Inclusive environment – supporting children of all backgrounds, abilities and cultures 
  • Flexible learning spaces – designed for both indoor and outdoor exploration throughout the day 
  • Strong community connections – including local events, cultural celebrations and family involvement 

Each day, children are encouraged to follow their interests through hands-on, play-based learning guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our use of natural materials such as sand, water, clay and wood invites children to explore, experiment and build meaningful connections with their environment.

Our centre values children as active participants in their learning, supporting them to make choices, express their ideas and develop a strong sense of identity. Through shared experiences and cultural learning, children build respect for others and an understanding of the world around them.

We maintain strong partnerships with families through open communication and shared learning, supported by tools like Storypark to keep families connected to their child’s journey. Our safe and supportive preschool transition practices help children build confidence as they prepare for school.

Families often tell us they value our peaceful setting, strong relationships and natural learning environments. Take a tour today to meet our team and explore our spaces or book a visit to see how we can support your child’s early learning journey every step of the way.

Rajalakshmi Devaraju

Centre Director
My name is Rajalakshmi and I'm the Centre Director at Goodstart Bees Creek.

I believe every child is unique and capable. After working in childcare for 13 years, I’ve learned that children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and valued. My role is to create a warm, inclusive environment where play and exploration lead to meaningful learning.

I respect and celebrate diversity. Every child’s culture, language, and experiences matter, and I ensure these are reflected in our daily practices. Families are partners in this journey, and I work closely with them to support each child’s growth.

I am passionate about learning and professional development. After completing my Diploma in Early Childhood Education, I am now pursuing a Master’s in Teaching to deepen my knowledge and strengthen my practice. I believe in continuous reflection and embracing new ideas to provide children with the best possible start in life.

Nature is an important part of my approach. I encourage outdoor play and teach children to care for the environment, helping them grow into responsible, thoughtful individuals.
