Learn more about Goodstart Jindalee

At Goodstart Jindalee, 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: 
1. Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
2. Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
3. Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
4. Lifelong Learning: Instilling a love of learning by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 
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 Goodstart Jindalee centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified Early Childhood Teacher. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our 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:  
- Discounts on multiple days  
- All day sessions  
- Discounted shorter sessions  
- Fee assistance programs for families that need support
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.

Welcome! My name is Deanna, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Jindalee.

Hi, my name is Deanna Raboczyj, I am the Centre Director for Goodstart Jindalee. I am a wife, mother of two children, I have a passion for animals, traveling within Australia (in a camper) and an AFL mum. I have a passion for watching my son play AFL on the weekends.

My favourite food is Mexican and Hamburgers. On my days off you will find me in my camper with my children and dogs, On the beach, walking along flea markets, reading, doing puzzles, colouring and I have just started getting into diamond painting. I do want to learn how-to stand-up paddle board.

I have worked for Goodstart for the past 8 years; I have worked up from an Educator to become a director. My last centre was Coorparoo Cavendish Road where I was the director for the past 2 years. It was a challenging time through Covid, we were Assessed and Rated and of course the Floods. (We took on a lot of flood families from Tarragindi.

So, I understand how hard it has been on the families moving to other centres. My love for the children keeps me focused in helping create a safe and exciting centre to be in. I am always available for a cuddle or just for a chat for my little friends. I enjoy watching children grow into big school leavers and watch them thrive.

I am looking forward to working with my new team and creating a centre that is inviting for the children to explore their imagination, creativity, sense of belonging and empower them to become independent little humans.

Feel free to pop in for a visit and I can show you around!
