Learn more about Goodstart Tapping

At Goodstart Tapping, 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 Goodstart Tapping 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.

It’s a home away from home and our little one has grown in leaps and bounds since starting out in the nursery room to now being in the Toddler room. Couldn’t ask for a better Team to take care of your children. The care and attention that is given to each child is amazing and being able to explore and develop at their own pace too. I couldn’t recommend Goodstart Tapping enough.

After a recommendation from a friend, we made the move to Goodstart Tapping over a year ago and it was the best decision we've made for our kids. Our boys have gone through Nursey, Toddlers, Little Explorers and our oldest is now in the Kindy room. Every transition was handled beautifully. I can't thank the staff enough for how supportive they are. The care, attention and communication at Goodstart Tapping is miles ahead of any other daycare we've been a part of.

Claire Stannard

Centre Director

Hi, I'm Claire and I'm very excited to introduce myself as the Centre Director at Goodstart Tapping.

I have over 15 years’ experience in the Early Childhood and Education Sector and have worked in a range of roles for the company. I currently hold Diplomas of Early Childhood Education and Care, School Age Education and Care, Leadership and Management and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessing.

I am passionate about early learning and find enjoyment every day in being able to provide a safe, welcoming and high quality learning environment for all children. I am also a mother and understand from a parents perspective what we look for in a great centre and what is important in the day to day care of children.

At the heart of everything we do at the centre are the strong and open relationships we have with our children and their families. Our team of educators are all highly qualified and experienced and we welcome you to come and have a look at our centre and explore how we can support you and your child.
