Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Aitkenvale

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Aitkenvale is centrally located near residential areas, schools, shops, and public transport routes. We pride ourselves on fostering long-standing relationships with families and maintaining a low staff turnover. Our lead educators hold a Diploma qualification or higher, while our support educators have a Certificate III in Children’s Services or are pursuing this qualification.

Our centre operates from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, catering to children aged six weeks to five years. We provide essential items, including sheets, nappies, and meals, for your convenience.

Inside, each room—from Nursery to Kindergarten—aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Our colourful, stimulating environments promote sensory and play-based learning, enabling children to grow and develop.

Our Storypark platform, along with regular family nights and newsletters, ensures open communication with parents. This approach allows us to tailor programmes to each child’s individual needs, interests, and strengths, reflecting the cultural diversity of our centre.

Outside, we have three play areas with age-appropriate equipment, including sandpits, gardens, swings, and a variety of play surfaces, fostering exploration and creativity. Community engagement is crucial to us, and we host events and activities throughout the year to enrich the learning experience.

We invite you to visit our centre, where we strive to create a home-away-from-home environment for your child. Come and see how we can support your child’s early learning journey!

Curriculum and programs

The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.

As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.

The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.

Meet the team

Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.

The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.
