Toddler, Kindergarten
Goodstart Early Learning Mount Pleasant is located in a beautiful, quiet street in the middle of Mackay’s northern suburbs. Children can start at Goodstart Mount Pleasant at the age of 15 months, and we strongly encourage families to stay right up until they start school, as we run a Government Funded Kindergarten program run by an Early Childhood Teacher.

Our team of educators at Goodstart Mount Pleasant have worked thoughtfully to create environments that are beautiful for our children. Our Toddler, Senior Toddler and Pre-Kindergarten educators develop specific learning programs based on the Early Years Learning Framework, where our Kindergarten program is designed alongside the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines to ensure our older children are ready for Prep.
 
This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communication with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements.
 
Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces – with sandpits, climbing equipment, lots of space for running and plenty of shade. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.
 
Goodstart Mount Pleasant work closely with families to build a strong sense of community, where we hold seasonal events for families to come along and meet each other. We support a wide range of culturally diverse families and we embrace this diversity, nurturing a culture of understanding and acceptance. 
 
We invite you to come and visit our centre, meet our team and to see for yourself, our commitment to your child’s Early Learning journey.

Rachel Williams

Centre Director
My name is Rachel Williams and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Mount Pleasant.

I have had the pleasure of being the Centre Director at Goodstart Mount Pleasant since January 2018. I have worked in the childcare industry for over 20 years and for Goodstart specifically for 13 years and have been blessed to have many roles in my career.

My passion has always been advocating for children’s rights and providing a rich and purposeful program that is conducive for learning. Being a Centre Director means balancing the head and heart as an Early Learning Leader and it takes consistency, determination and a leader that can work collaboratively with their team, children, families and the community for enhanced outcomes at the centre. This was recognised in 2025 when I proudly won the Regional QLD Early Learning Leadership Award.

Goodstart Mount Pleasant is a centre that believes in relationship based care and having Educators who are empowered and educated to ensure that they are going the little bit extra to provide a home away from home for our children and families. I am very proud to work at this centre and look forward to new families joining our community.
