About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Cranbrook is located in a quiet but convenient residential area, close to schools, shops and community facilities.


We have a great warm friendly environment which is like a home away from home.


We are a large double centre catering for 102 children.  All educators are qualified or studying towards their qualifications, we pride ourselves on our dedication to the children and their families. 


Our rooms  - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - are all set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.


Outside, we have three areas all with age appropriate play spaces and equipment - including a cubby house, sandpit, swings, verandahs, vege patches, slides, gardens and natural and manmade play surfaces. We enjoy teaching your children to learn and discover through the opportunities we provide and promote. 

At Goodstart Cranbrook we like to work closely alongside you, the families, to ensure we are delivering the highest quality of care to your children at all times.  We are regularly updating our resources and equipment and we pride ourselves on maintaining our well-presented centres. 

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.

Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity. We try hard to engage with the local communities and have successfully achieved this in a range of different ways including a recent ‘art work display’ for book week held at the Thuringowa Library. 

Come in and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind! We would love the chance to show you around.

Tamika Purton

Centre Director

My name is Tamika and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Cranbrook.

I am from the quiet little town called Ayr, just an hour away from Townsville. I have my diploma in Childcare and have worked in the industry since 2011. I have gained a lot of experience over the years, but mostly when I had my own Children I gained the most experience & more love for the job.

I have worked with all age groups and have been involved in all aspects of child development. I love working with children and believe in providing a warm, comfortable, relaxed environment so every child feels safe. I hope to make all the children and families who attend my service feel a sense of belonging.

I look forward to working with you and your family. So please drop in and say Hello. We would love to make you and your family welcome at the centre, and to discuss how we can start your child on a journey of lifelong learning.
