Goodstart Early Learning Paralowie - Byron Bay Drive

Balanced bites for bright eyes and big smiles. In our centre, we take nutrition seriously; hence we ensure that all meals we serve are packed with nutrients and freshly prepared in our centre kitchen.

Our beautiful land, seen through young eyes. Our teachers and educators set-up provocations that are open-ended invitations to play and encourage children to explore First Nations histories, cultures, songs, art, and Country. They provoke curiosity, spark theories, and foster respect through hands-on play based learning.

Numbers in action! Mathematics is embedded naturally through play, sensory exploration, and daily routines. Early numeracy skill is about finding math magic in our everyday activities. This learning experience supported children’s turn taking
skills as well as their mathematical thinking skills. They also developed their language and communication skills as they worked in collaboration with other children and educators to participate into the activity. Fine motor skills development was also part of this learning, as they used the tongs to collect the counters.

Tiny tummy, big adventures! Fuelling up for more play.
Our children are discovering new flavours together one bite at a time with chicken stroganoff for lunch and apple cake for afternoon tea. We also encourage supervised self-serving at mealtime as it builds early independence, fine motor skills, and self-esteem. By allowing children to scoop portions and clear their bowls, educators foster a sense of capability and agency during daily routine.

Works are underway at Fairbanks Drive Reserve Playground to install additional shade cover over the wooden play structure and round swing.

This section of the playground will be fenced off for the duration of works and is expected to reopen to the public from 15 June.

Every masterpiece tells a story. Art gives children a voice before they have the words, allowing them to express big feelings and wild imaginations. This experience also further extended the children’s sensory skills, as they were able to make a painting using different textures and materials.

Might look like a simple animal habitat play, but this learning experience supported children’s language and communication skills development as they engage into meaningful conversation with peers and educators. This experience also stimulates their sensory experiences as we used a range of surface to create the provocation of learning.

Trained, Certified, and ready to make an impact!

Exploring the rich visual language and storytelling by connecting with Country through traditional symbols. This experience also enables children to connect with First Nation’s language and prewriting skills.
