Thank you dear educators for looking after Sophie so well. She use to be shy and now she is much more confident and she looks forward to her daycare days. We really appreciate the time and effort you guys put in for not just their daily care but for all the special events and activities as well. The educators also really helped us with toilet training Sophie. We feel very thankful to have found such a lovely daycare with long hours and so close to home.

Thank you for all that you do for Adam and the other kids. The amount of effort you ALL put in each day to care for, entertain, stimulate and educate our little ones is amazing, on top of sending us updates and amazing photos regularly that we can treasure for ever and the kids can look back on as they get older and remember their friends. I for one do take this for granted sometimes and will try to remember to be a lot more thankful each day.

All educators really care about kids. I can observe my kid rapid development since joining Good Hands, safety protocols are in place and staff follows them. communications regarding events and kids routines are streamline and easy to follow.

it is very simple to track kids activities and routines through the application they utilise

My son is enjoying everyday at this amazing centre. The kids are happy, the educators are very caring and professional. The centre is well set up with nice inside and outside spaces. As a parent I really feel a family and homely atmosphere. Thank you for looking after my son. You are the best.

My kids went to several daycare centres over the past few years, however I would say that Goodhands was the best centre by far! Mahshid, Mary and the teachers made my kids feel welcome and part of the big family straight away. We highly recommend the centre.

Great memories and friendships are made here.

We love good hands! My daughter started during the covid lockdown and the centre and staff have been so welcoming and helpful as my daughter transitioned easily to the centre. I love the outdoor space and the educators really put a lot of effort to make the program interesting and provide opportunities for learning. Lovely small, home like centre with a personal touch, Mahshid is an excellent director and very helpful.

I couldn't recommend the team at Good Hands more highly. I have two children aged 2yo and 4yo going to school here and every day they arrive so excited to see their friends and teachers. All the carers provide individualised care and are very attentive to each child's needs. Additionally they are always open to suggestions and trying to improve their processes. 

Many times my two year old has gone to bed at night telling me how much he "loves" a particular teacher and it fills my heart with joy. 

With busy work schedules it is such a relief to arrive here to friendly faces and see the kids run off to play yelling and waving "Bye Mum". This was a very different experience to our previous child care. 

Each day we receive 5-10 (sometimes more) photos of the kids. We also get an extensive update at least weekly on Storypark of the activities the children have done that week. They also engage the children in book-week and recently they dressed up and made cupcakes for parents to purchase to raise money for Cancer Council day. They also had a great pyjama party recently. 

I couldn't be more happy with the care my kids have received. I honestly can't believe what the children get to do and learn at this age compared to when I went to preschool. Thank you to the Good Hands team, you are all fabulous.

Children are our future. We need good leaders in all fields: politics, education, science, arts and sports. We believe that they have a mission to make a better, safer and a more peaceful world.  For these reasons, we want our children to develop into happy, balanced, active, educated adolescents and adults.

This journey starts at an early age. It is the behaviours and attitudes learnt in the first few years of our life that build the strong foundations necessary for the future. It is important for parents to find the most appropriate start in their child’s life. A suitable childcare centre has a crucial role in this process. We believe in building a positive, trusting, safe and welcoming centre that accepts everyone and encourages their differences as well as works with the community to utilise the environment we live in.

We believe that our childcare centre provides an age appropriate education within a caring, well-managed, safe environment. We aim to nurture our children to become more socially accepted, educated and successful men and women for our community, our country and the world. At Good Hands Long Day Care we believe in children using their skills and understandings to explore the natural surroundings, which aids in teaching them about respect and the world in which they live.

At Good Hands Long Day Care we believe and encourage children’s freedom to move and their ability to make their own decisions which form the foundation of our educational program by giving the children a chance to learn through their body and senses while exploring through their own play explorations.

Good Hands Long Day Care believes in creating a space that is directed by the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for their own ideas and their own willingness to learn which allows for spontaneous planning and intentional teaching moments which assist in strengthening their social and emotional wellbeing.

Our aim is to have a safe, bias free and happy environment for our children. Our qualified staff will support and help children to expand their cognitive, social emotional, language and physical developments through free play and structured educational programs. We use up to date and age appropriate educational toys and books, appropriate indoor and outdoor programming, observations and evaluations to create a high quality care for the children.  We ensure our children respect Australian culture and values. Here at Good Hands Long Day Care, we acknowledge the Guringai people as the traditional custodians of the Darug land and we endeavour to discover more of the Aboriginal history as we embark on our reconciliation action journey.

Our Centre has an open door for parents and caregivers. They are always welcome to the second home of their children for as long as they wish. We always appreciate their advice, support and new ideas and experiences in improving our service to the children, families and our community. We abide by Australian NSW rules and regulations and our policies reflect this.

We believe that if you choose our childcare centre, you can be sure that you and your children will be in Good Hands.

The team at Good Hands South Turramurra.

• School readiness program: The program prepares children for school by building foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, science, social and emotional, and motor skills. As well as encouraging independence, curiosity, and self-esteem. 
• Community involvement: The centre encourages a sense of community through event celebration such as Chinese New Year, Christmas, NAIDOC, Diwali, Australia Day, Halloween, Book Week, Olympics, and graduation. The centre also encourages children to participate in excursions to local parks and primary schools as part of the school readiness program.
• Science program: Children participate in science experiments throughout the term to encourage curiosity and critical thinking skills. Children learn about the environment, chemistry, astrology and many other branches of science.
• Dance, yoga and sport program: The team at Good Hands encourages children to be active and celebrate a healthy lifestyle by inspiring children to participate in sport, dance and yoga activities.
• Language program: Children at Good Hands learn Mandarin through stories, play, music, dance, event celebration and through everyday discussion with the educator.
• Cooking program: Children participate in a cooking program throughout the term. Children make biscuits, cultural delicacies, and freshly squeezed juice. Cooking develops sequencing, sensory, numeracy, literacy and community skills.

Good Hands follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which understands that children learn and explore through play. Children’s understanding of the world develops through communication, discovery, imagination, and creation. 

The EYLF aims to develop in children a strong sense of identity, connection and contribution to their world, a strong sense of wellbeing, confidence and involvement in learning, and effective communication skills. 

Through this framework the centre hopes to provide children with a sense of Belonging, to recognise and celebrate their Being, and support their Becoming.

The centre offers a school readiness program that prepares children for the transition to school by developing their literacy, numeracy, science, emotional, social, arts and crafts and motor skills. As well as their competence and confidence to be independent and the ability to challenge bias.
