Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Albany Creek - Dawn Road

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Albany Creek – Dawn Road provides quality educational programs for children aged six weeks to five years. Our five-room centre supports all areas of development, including social, emotional, maths, science, and nature learning, aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework. Small group activities foster shared thinking, ensuring every child is involved.

Located in a residential area near schools, shops, and public transport, we aim to make daily drop-offs and pick-ups stress-free. Our experienced educators create a stimulating curriculum, encouraging children to explore a range of learning environments, and supporting their individual interests and developmental needs.

The Storypark platform and regular newsletters keep families engaged, providing open communication and allowing tailored learning plans for each child. Outdoors, children enjoy age-appropriate play spaces designed to develop awareness of their environment and sustainability.

A special highlight is BB, our centre’s budgie, donated by a neighbour, with children helping to care for him. We also offer enriching art and music activities daily and organise regular community events through our Dawn Road Calendar of Events.

We look forward to welcoming you and supporting your child’s lifelong 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.
