Goodstart stories
Early Learning Fund set to support more than 700 children in 2026
As Workplace Giving Month gets underway, Goodstart is celebrating its biggest year of ELF impact since 2022 and the community helping make it possible.
Bush kinder is an outdoor education program recognised by ACEEQA. We love it because children learn while they do what comes naturally: run, jump, play in puddles, climb trees, jump off rocks and explore. It also teaches them various vital social and emotional skills like resilience, critical thinking, and how to assess risk safely. There are so many amazing outdoor adventures and learning opportunities to be had!
We share our world with so many other creatures, and sustainability is about learning to recognise how we all work together to care for our environment and communities. This is why our bush kinder program and our veggie garden plays such an important role in developing an understanding of the importance of sustainability from a young age.
Enhancing our in-centre bush kinder program, we also have regular incursions and excursions with specialist from a variety of backgrounds. Check out what’s planned for our 2025 kindergarten children:
Our animal encounters will be a treat if you have a future biologist, our veggie garden will be exciting to any budding chefs, and our bush kinder program is perfect for everyone!
