About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning’s Nerang Alexander Drive Child Care Centre. At our centre, families come first – with high-quality care, a convenient location, and an open-door community approach.
 
We are within walking distance of two local schools, William Duncan and Worongary state schools, and we are close to the local Highland Park shops and medical centre. Our families have easy access to public transport and being straight off the M1, on exit 79, we make the pick-up and drop-offs a breeze.

The centre has five rooms, operating comprehensive curriculums for children in Nursery through to Kindergarten. Our teaching philosophy and curriculum have been developed in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.

Goodstart Nerang Alexander Drive is a long-established Early Learning centre with highly qualified and experienced educators. We are passionate about social and emotional wellbeing and strive to support children in becoming strong, capable learners.  

We achieve and maintain a high standard of care and professionalism with all our families and work hard in establishing and maintaining a great rapport with all our families both past and present.  By building and maintaining strong relationships we are able to work collaboratively with families to ensure each child has the learning, development and wellbeing outcomes they need for school and life. 

At Goodstart Nerang Alexander Drive, we have a great natural environment with large shady trees that provides children with a large, shaded sandpit area, cubby house fort and plenty of room to explore the great outdoors.

Our kindergarten children enjoy their own secure courtyard which allows our Early Childhood Teacher to provide the children with an inclusive indoor/outdoor curriculum every day of the week.

We have an open door policy where our families are always welcome.

Kim Baynham

Centre Director

Hello and Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Nerang – Alexander Drive.

As Centre Director, I would like to welcome you to Goodstart Early Learning Centre Nerang and introduce myself - Kim

I have over 22 years teaching and management experience in a variety of early childhood centres both in New Zealand and the Gold Coast.  I have had the opportunity in both countries to support and lead a range of centres.

As a mature student, I graduated from the Auckland College of Education in 2001 with a Bachelor of Education (Teaching) in Early Childhood Education.  Before I started my study, I was for many years as a personal assistant for a management consultant who specialised in training senior management in areas such as customer service, communication, leadership and teamwork.  I highly value the importance of relationships and one of my strengths that contributes to the development of relationships is my communication skills. 

Excellent, open, and respectful communication is the foundation for relationship building and I thrive on developing excellent relationships with everyone I interact with (colleagues, children, families and community groups) through honest, open and empathetic communication.

I am passionate about the NZ Early Childhood Curriculum (Te Whāriki), as they see a child as “competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they made a valued contribution to society”.  This is, of course, in line with The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF) whose goal is for all “young Australians (to) become confident and creative learners, successful lifelong learners and active and informed members of the community”.  I strongly believe the image of the child is extremely important as it impacts on how we interact with children and the environment we provide for them.

I look forward to meeting and welcoming everyone into our beautiful centre.
