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.
Deanna Raboczyj
Welcome! My name is Deanna, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Jindalee.
Hi, my name is Deanna Raboczyj, I am the Centre Director for Goodstart Jindalee. I am a wife, mother of two children, I have a passion for animals, traveling within Australia (in a camper) and an AFL mum. I have a passion for watching my son play AFL on the weekends.
My favourite food is Mexican and Hamburgers. On my days off you will find me in my camper with my children and dogs, On the beach, walking along flea markets, reading, doing puzzles, colouring and I have just started getting into diamond painting. I do want to learn how-to stand-up paddle board.
I have worked for Goodstart for the past 8 years; I have worked up from an Educator to become a director. My last centre was Coorparoo Cavendish Road where I was the director for the past 2 years. It was a challenging time through Covid, we were Assessed and Rated and of course the Floods. (We took on a lot of flood families from Tarragindi.
So, I understand how hard it has been on the families moving to other centres. My love for the children keeps me focused in helping create a safe and exciting centre to be in. I am always available for a cuddle or just for a chat for my little friends. I enjoy watching children grow into big school leavers and watch them thrive.
I am looking forward to working with my new team and creating a centre that is inviting for the children to explore their imagination, creativity, sense of belonging and empower them to become independent little humans.
Feel free to pop in for a visit and I can show you around…

I cannot thank the team at Goodstart Jindalee enough. Every staff member I have met has been genuine, patient, down-to-earth, caring, and incredibly understanding. They welcomed my son during a really difficult time when he had previously been excluded and isolated at other centres due to some additional needs that those centres were unable to support. From the moment we started here, the team has been nothing but supportive. They communicate with me consistently throughout the day and have taken the time to share helpful strategies for transition times and for when my son is experiencing big emotions. What stands out the most is that they truly work with me as a parent, not against me. They have even gone above and beyond by researching and suggesting additional support networks and therapists to help us move forward with getting him the diagnosis and support he needs sooner. The care at this centre is exceptional. The staff are approachable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of both the children and their families. In just the short time we have been here, I have already seen a huge improvement in my son’s speech, his social development, and the way he communicates with us at home. He now wakes up every morning – even on weekends – asking if he can go to his new school to see his friends. I truly cannot say a single negative thing about this centre. I could go on and on about how grateful I am for every staff member there. Thank you for being so amazing, for caring so deeply, and for showing such patience and understanding with my boy. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Dee for being amazing, and for giving us the chance to give Spence the best chance ready for school next year ❤️

Such a fantastic daycare and great educators! My kid loves it there and feels very safe. We got very lucky with this daycare. We love the daily updates and photos we get. Great food menu for the kids. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

We absolutely love this daycare and our experience here has been amazing. All the educators are friendly and caring and you can tell they love what they do. My son has been able to build great relationships with them and he is excited to go each morning. The menu is nutritious and varied and I have peace of mind knowing my son is eating well there. (Even better bonus, I don’t have to cook or pack lunches) The large outdoor play area is my son’s favourite part. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place where our son is happy, safe and excited to go to every day.

My boy has attended Goodstart Early Learning Jindalee since he was 10 months old, and he’s now three and a half. He’s grown up there and has been really happy — the staff are so dedicated and the center leaders are super friendly and supportive.
