About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Robina - Goldwater Avenue!

At Goodstart Robina – Goldwater Avenue, we're more than just a childcare centre - we're an extension of your family.  

From nursery to kindergarten, we’ve been providing personalised care to children in our community for generations. With a longstanding and experienced team, we foster strong relationships and open communication with families.  

Our diverse and multicultural staff, spacious learning environments and hands-on teaching create a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, supported and excited to learn. 

Why not take a tour? You’ll find us conveniently located in the heart of Robina, close to Varsity Lakes and Mudgeeraba. 

Why families choose our day care centre:

  • Strong, stable educator relationships: Many team members have been with us for years, building genuine connections with children and families.
  • Approved kindergarten program: Two university-qualified ECTs deliver a robust, school-readiness program in a caring, familiar setting.
  • Diverse, inclusive culture: Our educators and families represent many cultural backgrounds, with languages such as Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and Hindi spoken at the centre.
  • Large, light-filled rooms: Spacious indoor learning areas and recently upgraded outdoor yards foster exploration and engagement.
  • Deep community ties: Generations of families return to our centre, drawn by word-of-mouth and a reputation for genuine care.
  • Cultural and sustainability focus: We celebrate diversity through events and intentional learning, and strong sustainability practices are embedded across rooms.
  • Key Educator Approach: Each child has a dedicated educator to support their emotional wellbeing, development and daily experience.

Our team is passionate about building meaningful connections - from the nursery to kindergarten - supporting children across every stage of their early learning journey.  

We treat each child as our own, taking a personal approach to understanding their needs, interests and goals.  

Our kindergarten program balances structure and play while promoting resilience and readiness for school. Parents stay informed through Storypark and are invited to be part of our events and centre life.

  • At Goodstart Robina – Goldwater Avenue, 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 Robina – Goldwater Avenue centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. 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.

My son has been attending here for 2 years and I cannot thank the staff enough. Their number 1 priority and care is the children and it makes it such an easy drop off to know your child is in the best hands. Outstanding service from all staff

Absolutely adore this place! Have sent all three of my children and staff still remember and ask about my now 13 and 7 year old daughters when i drop off my 3 year old. Children and staff are always happy and engaged and it is always clean and organised. Brilliant communication as well. Very highly recommend!

Kylie Turnbull

Centre Director

My name is Kylie Turnbull and I have been in the Early Childhood Education and Care profession for more than 20 years. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and have been the Director at Goodstart Robina Goldwater Ave since 2002.

At Goodstart Robina Goldwater Ave our Centre Vision is “Nurturing and Teaching Tomorrow’s Leaders” and this very closely aligns with my personal pedagogy. I believe that the opportunity for children to participate in high quality learning experiences and develop relationships in their first five years will provide them with a great foundation for future success in life. I am passionate about ensuring children have access to a high-quality play-based educational program in an environment where they feel safe, secure, and supported.

I believe children learn through play and that they benefit from engagement in a program that caters to their individual interests and developmental goals. I believe it is vital to work in partnership with families to identify and support goals for all children and strongly encourage family engagement in our educational programs.

The educators employed at Goodstart Robina Goldwater Ave share my passion and commitment to the children and families at our centre.  So please come and say hello!
