Goodstart Early Learning Parafield Gardens

Some of the biggest emotional learning happens right here, in play ✨
When toddlers experience big feelings, it can often show up as frustration, especially when things don’t go to plan.

Here are three simple ways to support them:
💛 Name the feeling: “You’re feeling frustrated, that was tricky”
💛 Model what to do next: “Let’s take a breath and try again”
💛 Stay calm and close: “I’m here with you, let's build together”

You can also model your own feelings:
“Oh no, mine fell down too… I feel frustrated. I’m going to try again.”
These small moments help children understand their emotions, build language, and learn how to manage challenges with confidence.

✨ It’s not about getting it perfect, it’s about being present, supportive, and connected.

We’re often asked what being not-for-profit really means for our families.

Simply put, it means that our purpose always comes before profit. Every dollar we make is reinvested back into our centres, to provide children with enriching and safe learning environments.

We understand how important it is for children to be in a place where they feel safe and settled. And when families need to make a change - planned or unexpected - we’re here to help make that transition easier.

We’re here to support families when it matters most – because every child deserves a Goodstart! ✨
