Goodstart Early Learning Dakabin is located directly opposite the Dakabin State Primary School, close to residential areas as well as local shops and community facilities.
Our childcare centre supports the transition to school process, with strong partnerships with schools in the area. We are a four-room centre catering for children aged six weeks to six years with a maximum of 51 children per day.
All of our play environments are set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities available at all times. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.
Our Kindergarten room is aligned with the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines and provides our children with experiences designed to foster independence, and a smooth transition to school.
Our Storypark platform enables 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 a strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Outside, we have three areas all with age-appropriate inviting play spaces and equipment. We have two brand new and fully renovated playgrounds with much of the play space shaded, ensuring that children can play safely outdoors throughout the year. Each playground has a citrus garden that the children get involved with watering. Our childcare centre also has a compost bin as we encourage sustainability with children in the centre.
Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity. Sensory activities and messy play activities also happen on a daily basis – allowing children the freedom to explore these different environments.
We warmly welcome new families, so please stop by! We would love to explore how we can support you and your child on their pathway to lifelong learning.
