Highly recommended. Educators are active and involved, and take good care of my toddler. The director is fantastic and plans authentic learning experiences. I'm happy they spend more time with the kids, rather than taking photos (I wasn't impressed with other centres at Petrie!) 😀

Goodstart Early Learning Petrie is nestled in the leafy surroundings of Petrie, close to North Pine Dam and nearby primary schools, making it easy for parents to continue their child's education in one location. We pride ourselves on fostering friendships that children can carry into their schooling years.
Our experienced educators, including Miss Kate, our Early Childhood Teacher who speaks Mandarin, provide exciting play-based programs tailored to each child’s individual needs.

We integrate technology into learning through touchscreen computers and iPads, teaching children to explore and investigate in a modern world. Our Storypark platform ensures open and consistent communication with families, enabling us to tailor each program to individual needs, interests, and strengths.
Outside, our two play areas blend natural and manmade elements, helping children connect with their surroundings while learning the importance of sustainability. Fun and imagination are at the heart of everything we do.

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.

We really appreciate your support and trust in our educators and centre!

All 3 of my boys gave attended Goodstart Petrie over the last 12 years. I loved that returning back to care for my youngest, I didnt have to think twice about where I was going to send him. The centre has a very low staff turnover (some being at the centre for 20years) and you can see the care and quality education the educators provide from the moment you walk into the centre. The educators thoughtfully plan activities around the unique interests of each child and have always involved me in the planning by discussing his interests at home and their observations whilst in their care. My 3yr old has gone from being super anxious at drop offs to confidently running off to his favourite people - his teachers (before I even finish opening the door). I cannot thank or recommend the team at Goodstart Petrie enough, for creating such a safe and inclusive space for my 3yo and our family.

Goodstart Petrie is a wonderful centre. I worked as an Early Childhood Educator prior to having my own children so I was very particular about choosing a centre. The staff are so caring and interact with the children in a truly meaningful way. You can tell the culture here is a positive and supportive one and that reflects in how well they do their work. The program is progressive for an industry sometimes stuck in the past, Goodstart Petrie are a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend you take a tour. Better yet, enrol. You won't regret it.
Thank you, Alex. Your kind words mean so much, especially coming from someone with your background in early childhood education. We're thrilled to hear how confident and supported you feel with the care at Goodstart Petrie. It’s wonderful to know the team’s genuine interactions and forward-thinking approach have made such a strong impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and trust in us!
