About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Secret Harbour!

Our childcare centre provides a nurturing ‘second home’ environment where children feel safe, supported and inspired to learn.  

We foster a strong sense of community across the service and beyond, anchored and guided by a dedicated team of longstanding educators. 

Discover two well-equipped nurseries, a natural outdoor play area shaded by trees, and a play-based learning program that supports each child's development, plus school-readiness in kindergarten.  

Our purpose-built centre is five minutes from the Kwinana Freeway and close to Secret Harbour Primary School, offering easy drop-offs.  

Book a tour today to discover why many local families trust us with their child's care and early education. 

Why families choose Goodstart Secret Harbour: 

  • Large, nature-filled outdoor yard with plenty of trees providing natural shade, plus a fort, sandpits, tunnels and balance beams.
  • Two dedicated nursery rooms, allowing babies to be grouped by age and development for more tailored care and learning.
  • Longstanding, consistent team – many educators have been here over five years, providing stability and genuine relationships.
  • Loved by the local community, with regular positive feedback shared on Facebook community pages and via word of mouth.
  • Convenient location just off Bluestone Parkway near schools and a quick drive from Kwinana Freeway – ideal for working families.
  • Strong links with schools and services, supporting smooth transitions and a sense of belonging for children and families.
  • Culturally inclusive care, welcoming families from the UK, Germany, Māori backgrounds and beyond.

At Goodstart Secret Harbour, your child is known, valued and supported from day one.  

We use the Storypark platform to stay connected with families, sharing daily updates, milestones and learning progress.  

Our educators take pride in planning individualised programs based on each child's strengths, interests and cultural identity.

  • At Goodstart Secret Harbour, 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 Secret Harbour 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 three and four-year-old 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.

Goodstart Secret Harbour is literally my village. Without them I don't know how I would cope. They've just been so welcoming and so amazing. And from being that anxious mum about putting my child into the centre, everything has always been so simple and so easy
