Goodstart Early Learning Wynnum West – Crawford Road has been a key part of the community since 1996. Located in a residential area close to Wynnum Plaza, the train station, and local schools, our centre is fully air-conditioned and includes two rooms for each age group: Nursery, Toddler, Senior Toddler, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten.
Each room offers an individualised program aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on sensory and play-based learning. Our stimulating, colourful environments allow children to develop at their own pace, helping prepare them for their school years. Through Storypark and regular family nights, we keep families connected, sharing updates and tailoring programs to meet each child’s specific needs, interests, and strengths.
Our outdoor spaces are designed to nurture environmental awareness, with features like sandpits, a dry creek bed, large verandahs, veggie patches, a secret garden, cubby houses, and a climbing fort. We also provide a balanced menu for morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea, with options suited to individual dietary requirements, and supply nappies for younger children.
Community engagement is important to us, and through centre visits and activities, we enrich children’s learning experience. Daily art and music activities encourage creativity and self-expression in a welcoming, culturally inclusive environment.

State Government Approved Programs
Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
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.
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.
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.

Can't recommend the centre enough. Our son has been attending for around 8 months now, we had moved from a 'for profit' daycare, and have noticed the difference in the 'non-profit' experience as super positive and noticeable. There is no shortage of engaging activities and fun resources and games, the staff are wonderful and consistent and in it for the right reasons (it has been such a relief after previous weekly churn of staff at the last daycare) Our son is soo happy here, he loves his educators, and that stability and saftey has given great confidence for him to come out of his shell and make some great little friendships with his peers too. The communication is great, they are super helpful and open to any questions. We also very much value the focus on culture and diversity and it feels like a real community.
Thank you, Summer, for sharing your wonderful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear how happy your son is and that he feels safe, supported, and confident to make new friendships. It’s lovely to know that our engaging activities, fun resources, and consistent, dedicated team have had such a positive impact on his confidence and enjoyment. We also truly value your recognition of our focus on culture, diversity, and building a genuine sense of community. Your kind words mean so much to our team!
Sally Schroder
Both my daughters have absolutely thrived at Good Start. They have formed such a special bond with their educators, it’s a warm and welcoming environment and run very professionally.
Thank you, Sally, for your kind words. We’re delighted to hear both your daughters have thrived and built such strong connections with their educators. It’s wonderful that you feel the environment is warm, welcoming, and professionally run. We truly value your trust and look forward to continuing to support your children’s learning and growth!
