Kadie Cunningham, Assistant Director of Goodstart Kings Meadows, moved back for a better life.
At Goodstart Coorparoo – Park Street, we're more than just a childcare centre – we're a close-knit, diverse community proudly built on Yuggera and Turrbal Country.
Set in a prime location near local schools, shops and transport, we offer high-quality early learning and tailored care for children aged six weeks to six years.
Our programs are based on the Early Years Learning Framework and planned by passionate, qualified teachers. Through our tailored approach to early education, we support children to thrive from nursery to kindergarten and beyond.
Dedicated educators get to know every child and support their journey, ensuring they feel a strong sense of belonging as part of our Goodstart Coorparoo – Park Street family.
We invite you to take a tour of our service and experience the difference firsthand - we'd love to show you around.

At Goodstart Coorparoo – Park Street, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners. 
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.  
At our Coorparoo – Park Street centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our three and four-year-old kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school. 
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:  
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

I have been with Goodstart for over 22yrs and have been a Centre Director for 15 of those years. I am incredibly passionate about creating a positive, professional and high quality team. A team that feels valued, supported and happy in their roles. I strongly believe that by having a happy and appreciated team, this drives high quality and successful outcomes for children and families attending our service.
I love being a leader and being able to role model a high level of communication and customer service for all those who come into my centre. I truly value the importance of respect between educators, families and most importantly children.
