Our centre opened in July 2005 and we offer our children a natural and modern environment which offers high quality care and education for children aged six weeks to six years – in rooms from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool.With spacious, well-resourced play areas and air-conditioned rooms, our centre is a comfortable nurturing environment that focuses on developing the 'whole' child. Inside, we tailor the rooms to a curriculum based around the Early Years Learning Framework and tailored to the individual needs, strengths and interests of the child. We always encourage the children to learn through play and discovery and we successfully achieve this through our free-flow environment. An example of this is that we see the environment as a whole and the children choose whether they are indoors or outdoors.Outside, we have large natural playgrounds with trees, natural shade, grassed areas, sandpits, mud kitchen, vege patches, a bike track and a sustainability area with compost and worm farm. All of our meals are enjoyed on the verandas surround the centre.What Goodstart can offer you:
