Welcome to Goodstart Coorparoo - Tiber Street

At Goodstart Coorparoo - Tiber Street, you'll find a warm, welcoming and inclusive community created by a dedicated team of educators, children and families. Our purpose-built centre features expansive natural outdoor environments with mature trees, shaded play spaces and opportunities for children to connect with nature through play and exploration.

Conveniently located between Coorparoo and Norman Park train stations and close to local schools, parks and sporting facilities, our centre has proudly supported local families since 2000. Over the years, we have built strong partnerships within our community, and many families have returned to enrol their second, third and even fourth child with us. These lasting relationships reflect the trust families place in our centre and the quality care and education we provide.

In 2026, Goodstart Coorparoo - Tiber Street underwent Assessment and Rating against the National Quality Standard and was awarded Exceeding National Quality Standard in the areas assessed, including:

  • Quality Area 2: Children's Health and Safety
  • Quality Area 5: Relationships with Children
  • Quality Area 7.1: Governance and Leadership

These results reflect our commitment to creating a safe, nurturing and supportive environment where children feel secure, respected and valued. Safeguarding children is at the heart of everything we do, with robust policies, ongoing staff training and strong leadership systems ensuring children's wellbeing remains our highest priority.

Our educators work alongside the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard to provide meaningful learning experiences that support each child's individual strengths, interests and developmental journey.

Children are supported through a play-based learning approach that nurtures confidence, independence and curiosity. We provide both individual and small group experiences while fostering a strong sense of belonging and connection.

A key feature of our practice is our Key Educator Approach, which supports positive outcomes for children and families through consistent, responsive relationships. The key educator becomes a familiar and trusted person for the child and family, promoting meaningful partnerships and a deeper understanding of each child's unique needs.

At Goodstart Coorparoo - Tiber Street, we believe relationships between educators, children and families should be:

  • Purposeful and intentional
  • Consistent and dependable
  • Responsive and attuned to each child's individuality

We use Storypark to document children's learning and development, providing families with regular updates through photos, videos, learning stories and observations.

We value strong family partnerships and maintain an open-door policy, welcoming families into our centre at any time. We encourage participation in daily routines, learning experiences and centre events, helping us create a genuine sense of community.

Centre Director
Hi, my name is Sarah Teitzel and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Coorparoo - Tiber Street.

I am passionate about working alongside our team, supporting and mentoring educators throughout their professional journeys. I believe that when educators feel valued, supported and empowered to grow, they are better able to provide high quality outcomes for children and families.

I have extensive experience supporting children with additional needs and am particularly passionate about mentoring others to build their knowledge, confidence and inclusive practices. Every child deserves the opportunity to belong, participate and succeed, and I am committed to fostering environments where all children feel safe, respected and supported.

At Goodstart Coorparoo - Tiber Street, our foundational practices set us apart and reflect the exceptional level of care, education and relationships we provide. We are proud of our strong focus on building meaningful connections with children and families, creating a sense of belonging and ensuring every child has the best possible start in life.

By building trusting relationships and sharing knowledge, we can work together to nurture children's confidence, wellbeing and development, while supporting them with the skills they need to successfully transition to school and become capable, resilient members of their community.

As a leader, I value the emphasis we place on supporting our team members and recognising that everyone has the capacity to learn, grow and strengthen their professional practice. Our diverse team brings a wealth of experience, culture and perspectives, creating a rich and inclusive learning environment for children.
