Our One Foot Forward challenge is officially underway, and we’re off to a fantastic start!

Just over a week into the challenge, our team has already walked and run a combined 103km and raised $220 for mental health awareness and support. 🎉

Throughout October's Mental Health Month, our team is aiming to walk more than 450km to help take a positive step forward for mental health. Every kilometer completed helps raise awareness and supports the important work being done to improve mental health outcomes for Australians. Together, we can show the 1 in 5 Australians who experience symptoms of mental illness each year that they are not alone. Funds raised through this challenge will support the Black Dog Institute in delivering innovative mental health research, treatment programs, education, and digital support services to those who need them most.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. We look forward to sharing our progress with you throughout the month. 💙

Over the past few weeks, our children and educators have been exploring this year’s National Child Protection Week theme, “Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action.”
Through safety circles, storybooks and a project ‘Every Conversation Matter’, children have been identifying the safe people in their lives and sharing their ideas about what it means to feel safe, heard and supported.
Our display is continuing to grow into a centre mural celebrating children’s voices and understanding of safety. Keep an eye out, and don’t forget to visit our centre library, where we’ll have resources available for families to borrow and explore together.
Together, we all play a part in keeping children safe.

Are you looking for a centre that prioritises children's safety, wellbeing and belonging? We are currently taking enrolments for next year and would love to welcome new families into our community. Contact us today to on 3204-2088 or email [email protected] to arrange a tour and see how we support every child to feel safe, valued and supported.

Whether your child is already attending early learning, getting ready to start, or you're still exploring your options, it's natural to have questions.

💭 Will my child feel safe and supported? 💭 How will they cope with new experiences and changes? 💭 What can I do to help them feel confident and settled?

Listen to Episode 1 of What I Wish I Knew... The Early Learning Guide podcast, with child development expert Dr Billy Garvey as he explains why transitions are such an important part of childhood and how strong, supportive relationships help children navigate change with confidence.

From starting early learning to moving rooms, making new friends or tackling other big milestones, transitions are a normal part of growing up. When children feel safe, supported and connected, they're more likely to embrace new experiences, build confidence and develop the resilience they need to thrive.

💛 Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported and a true sense of belonging as they grow, learn and discover the world around them.

Ever had one of those "What should I be doing with my child?" moments? You might already have the answer at home.

Earlier this year, every Goodstart family received a What & When for Families guide for each child. If it's been tucked away in a drawer since then, now might be the perfect time to pull it back out.

The guide is packed with simple, play-based activities that support your child's learning and development at home. Best of all, it's written in your child's voice, with ideas tailored to their age and developmental stage.

From singing songs with babies and playing peek-a-boo, to "I Spy" games, storytelling and treasure hunts with older children, the activities are designed to fit naturally into everyday moments you already share together.

We know learning doesn't only happen in the classroom. Those small moments at home can help build big communication, language and literacy skills.

Take another look through your What & When for Families guide to explore age-appropriate activities and learning ideas you can try together.

💛 Sometimes the best learning resource is the one you already have at home.

Last week we said a very sad farewell to Miss Casey as she begins her exciting new chapter interstate.
After six wonderful years as part of our Moreton Downs community, Casey has made such a special contribution to our children, families and team. We are incredibly grateful for all of her care, dedication and the many beautiful memories she has created during her time with us.
Miss Casey, you will be very dearly missed by us all! We wish you every happiness, success and adventure as you begin this next chapter.
Good luck, Casey! We will miss you! 🌸✨

💙 Big Feelings Growing Brains
We are incredibly proud that Goodstart Moreton Downs has been part of the Community Transition Strategy – Big Feelings Growing Brains.
Developed by the Hand in Hand Network in response to Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) data, this community initiative places children’s wellbeing and family support at the heart of a successful transition to school.
With guidance from Professor Selena Bartlett, five podcasts have been created to provide families with practical strategies, tools and resources to support children’s social and emotional development.
This inspiring project has brought together parents, educators, teachers, school leaders, psychologists, speech pathologists, neuroscientists and community organisations, all working towards the same goal—supporting children to thrive.
🎧 We encourage all families to explore these free resources. Simply scan the QR code on the attached flyer to listen to the podcasts and discover practical ways to support your child’s emotional wellbeing and transition to school.
Together, we can help every child grow with confidence. 💚

🤝 Community Connections
Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Sharon and Fiona from Deception Bay North State School to Goodstart Moreton Downs. 💚
Sharon, a Prep teacher and facilitator of our community Hand in Hand meetings, and Fiona, who supports families and children with their transition to school, spent time meeting with Miss Nikki and Miss Alana to discuss community initiatives and how we can continue providing wrap-around support for families in the Deception Bay community.
They also visited our Kindergarten children and spent some time with Miss Claire, where Sharon shared a story and chatted with the children about “big school.” It was a wonderful opportunity for our future Prep children to begin building confidence and familiarity with school, while reinforcing that our early learning services, schools and community all work together to support every child’s transition.
We are so grateful for these valuable partnerships that help create positive beginnings for our children and families. 💙
