About Goodstart Early Learning 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. All rooms, from Nursery to Kindergarten, are set up according to the Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on sensory and play-based learning.

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.

We enrich learning through community events, art, and music, allowing children to express their creativity and connect with the world around them.

We look forward to supporting your family on this exciting early learning 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.

Such a wonderful daycare! We have had two of our children attend Goodstart Petrie for approximately 4 years. The centre is a full of educators and staff who go above and beyond to give the best care to the children. The staff care deeply about each and every child and their family. Our children absolutely adored every educator they had. It gave me great peace of mind at drop off to know our kids were is such good care and they were going to have a great day with careers who would support them. Thank you everyone at Goodstart Petrie for giving our children such a wonderful early learning experience!

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!) 😀

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.

Both my children have attended Goodstart Petrie, one when we moved after having been at another centre and the other from 12 weeks old. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support provided to them. They have thrived in every way thanks to the lovely staff.
