My youngest son came here for a few years. I have to say best beautiful staff inc the director. Payments method always made simple. And it’s a down to earth, play outside and great learning environment for kids. My son loved it here. Best child care I’ve used of all my children.

About Goodstart Early Learning Flagstone

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Flagstone, located near Flagstone State School, has proudly served the community for over seven years. We cater to children from six weeks to five years, offering spacious indoor rooms and a large outdoor play area. Our team of experienced and fully qualified educators is passionate about early learning, and most are parents themselves, understanding the vital role of family within our centre.

We maintain open communication with families, using Storypark to share updates and tailor our programs to each child’s unique needs and interests. Inside, our rooms, from Nursery to Kindergarten, are designed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play-based learning activities. This approach supports children’s growth, preparing them for their transition to school.

Our outdoor spaces feature a blend of natural and manmade play areas, including sandpits, vegetable gardens, a bike track, and a yarning circle. Carefully designed to encourage environmental awareness and imaginative play, our playground fosters a love for nature and sustainability.

We are also active within the community, recognised for our fundraising and creative children’s programs, and maintain close ties to Flagstone State School to ensure a smooth transition to school. We look forward to supporting your child’s early educational journey!

Curriculum and programs

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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress. 

The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.

The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.

Poor supervision, children constantly injured with little or no explanation or explanation changes each time they tell you. Staff literally don't care
