Goodstart Early Learning Browns Plains - Browns Plains Road

Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills. 

The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.

The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.

Sonya Smith

Hello, my name is Sonya and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Browns Plains Road.

I have been working in the Early Childhood sector since 1999 and have been a part of the team here at Goodstart- Browns Plains Road since 2007. I hold my Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and currently finishing my studies at university.

All children have the right to be treated equally and to access high-quality early learning, whatever their background and circumstances.

I believe all children learn and develop better through hands-on play while exploring the world around them.

I am very lucky to have a wonderful team behind me, that are dedicated, passionate, have years of quality experience and that are very dedicated and committed professional educators.

We welcome all families to our centre family and would love to watch your children grow and learn.
