We invite your family to become part of our lovely little community and early-learning centre. The best way to experience our facilities, meet our dedicated team, and see how we can support your child's early learning journey is to book a tour.
Please email us at enrolments@goodstart.org.au or call 1800 222 543 to have a chat with one of our friendly team to learn more.
Our purpose-built centre offers essential early learning care for local families. We have six spacious learning areas, all on one level, some with direct access to the playground.
Each age-based learning space opens directly to our outdoor, nature-inspired play area. This includes sensory gardens, a mud kitchen, earth pits, dry creek beds, and two large sandpits. Our beautiful outdoor dining hub, with a child-height server, allows our cook to engage children in preparing and serving meals.
Our programs cater to children from six weeks old to kindergarten age, based on the Early Years Learning Framework and tailored to each child's interests. We focus on sensory and play-based learning to support and promote your child's individual needs, interests, and strengths.
Our family lounge is available during opening hours, offering a relaxed space for breast feeding mums or a cozy spot for parents to enjoy complimentary tea or coffee, during those moments you want to be nearby.
Meals are prepared fresh daily in our commercial kitchen by our qualified chef. We provide a light breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack. We accommodate all types of dietary needs.
Included extras: We include a hat, t-shirt, sunscreen, and supply nappies for your baby whilst in our care.
We invite you to book a tour to explore our centre, meet our team, and see how we can support your child's early learning journey. We look forward to welcoming you and your family!
Stay Connected
Join our Facebook community to stay updated on what's happening at our centre and get expert information on parenting and early childhood. We also use the Storypark app to send you updates, photos, videos, and messages while your child is at our centre.
Additional Activities
At our centre, we believe in providing a well-rounded experience for your child. That's why we include a variety of incursions at no extra cost. These activities are designed to be both fun and educational, ensuring your child will love, learn, and create happy memories that last forever.
Movement and Dance Program
Our movement and dance programs are tailored for all ages, helping children develop their physical coordination, rhythm, and self-expression. Through dance, children can improve their balance, flexibility, and overall fitness while having a great time. This program also encourages creativity and boosts confidence as children learn to express themselves through movement.
Sports Program
Our sports program offers a range of activities that promote teamwork, discipline, and a healthy lifestyle. From soccer to basketball, children of all ages can participate in sports that enhance their motor skills, strategic thinking, and social interactions. Engaging in sports helps children build resilience, learn the importance of fair play, and develop a lifelong love for physical activity.
Special Activities
Throughout the year, we organise special activities that are sure to captivate your child's imagination and curiosity. These might include science experiments, art workshops, wildlife visits and cultural celebrations. Each activity is designed to be memorable and educational, providing unique learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. Your child will have the opportunity to explore new interests, develop new skills, and create lasting memories with their peers.
By participating in these extracurricular activities, your child will benefit from a holistic approach to learning and development. We are committed to offering experiences that enrich their lives and support their growth in a fun and engaging environment.
To foster our relationship with our local community, we love to participate in community events and celebrations which also enrich the learning experience and allow us to really get to know the families in our local community.
