Goodstart stories
High quality early learning: Spotlighting the 2025 Goodstart Centre of the Year
Skilled educators and teachers shaping futures every day.
Located on Gimuy Walaburra Yidinji land, Goodstart Kanimbla is a place where children can explore, play and grow in a fun, supportive environment. Our experienced educators create a warm and welcoming space where children build confidence, friendships and a strong sense of belonging. With engaging outdoor environments and a focus on play-based learning, every child is supported to learn in ways that reflect who they are. Book a tour to see how your child can thrive with us.
What makes our centre special:
Each day, children are encouraged to follow their interests through hands-on, play-based experiences guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our programs are designed to build social, emotional and cognitive skills while fostering independence and a love of learning.
Our outdoor environments are a highlight for children, offering opportunities to explore, be active and connect with nature in meaningful ways. The water play area provides a unique space for children to engage, cool down and develop physical confidence, particularly in warmer months.
With a strong, experienced team and a welcoming community, children feel safe, supported and known by their educators. Families often tell us it is our people, our outdoor spaces and our engaging programs that make our centre feel like a second home.
Whether you are just starting your early learning journey or preparing for school, we would love to welcome you. Take a tour today to meet our team and explore our learning spaces or book a visit to experience our centre firsthand.

I enjoy forming long lasting relationships with all the children and their families who attend Goodstart Kanimbla. Seeing the children develop and learn new skills during their time here at the centre is what inspires me.
I began my journey in the Early Childhood sector in 1999. During my time I have completed an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and continue to attend a range of professional development to improve my skills.
I love working with young children and giving them opportunities to grow and reach their potential, preparing them for school and life.
I look forward to meeting you and your family and welcoming you to the Goodstart Kanimbla community.
