We are incredibly proud to share that our wonderful Educational Leader and Assistant Director Danni was selected from hundreds of Goodstart employees to attend the 4 day ECA National Conference 2026 in Melbourne, recognising the high quality reflective and intentional practices she has been working to embed across our centre.

This opportunity is a wonderful recognition of the quality improvement journey at Goodstart Wheelers Lane and the commitment Dannielle has shown to reflecting on practice, challenging thinking and continually looking for ways to strengthen outcomes for our children, families and educators.
Goodstart recognised this journey and selected Dannielle to attend the conference, further building her knowledge, skills and professional practice so she can continue bringing new ideas and learning back to Wheelers Lane.

What makes this opportunity even more special is seeing our quality improvement work represented at the ECA Conference itself, with Sarah and Karen presenting From Critical Reflection to Action: Practical Tools for High Quality Teaching. This presentation draws on the very journey of reflection, improvement and practice uplift we have been working through at Wheelers Lane.

This is more than attending a conference.
It is an opportunity to learn, share, reflect and bring that learning home to our team. We are so proud of how far Wheelers Lane has come and excited for where this journey can take us next 💛

🏡 Our Community 📰♻️

The children have been exploring what makes up our community and the people, places and things that are important to us.

Using recycled papers from our Recycling Donation Box, the children have been cutting, creating and adding their own ideas to their Our Community houses. 🏠

This hands-on experience encourages children to talk about their local community, share their ideas and develop a strong sense of belonging. 💙♻️

Dubbo Photo News is Dubbo’s free weekly community newspaper, making it a wonderful resource for exploring what is happening in our local area. 🗞️

Creating a safe sleep environment is one of the many ways we care for children each day. From following safe sleep practices and using approved cots, to completing visual checks every 5 minutes, our educators take every step to help children rest safely and comfortably.

We also work closely with families to understand each child's individual sleep routine, because feeling safe, settled and well-rested helps children learn, grow and thrive.

💜 Safe sleep is everyone's responsibility, and it's always a priority.

💛 Identifying Safe People

We have introduced visitor lanyards and tags to help children easily identify visitors within our centre.

Importantly, our children had a voice in creating this initiative. Through conversations about safety, children shared their ideas about how we could make it easier to recognise who is a visitor and who is a familiar educator they can go to for help.

All visitors sign in and wear a clearly visible visitor lanyard while they are at our service. 🪪

This supports children to confidently recognise who is a visitor, who is a familiar educator and who their safe people are. By listening to children’s ideas and including their voices in our safety practices, we are helping children develop an understanding of their own safety and creating a safe, secure and child-centred environment where every child’s voice matters. 🌟

Dollar for Dusty 💙💛

Have you heard about Dusty, a 12-year-old boy from the small country town of Warren, NSW?

Dusty has taken on an incredible challenge - walking from Warren to Canberra to raise money and awareness for Little Wings, helping rural and regional children access vital paediatric healthcare. 💙

What an incredible effort from such a young boy! 👣

We would love to help Dusty reach his fundraising goal. Every dollar counts, and even a small donation can make a difference.

🙏 Every donation is greatly appreciated.

Let’s get behind Dusty and show him just how much support there is for our rural communities! 💙

Go Dusty! We are cheering you on! 👏

💛 RUOK? Day 💛

Today is a beautiful reminder that a simple question can make a big difference.

At Goodstart Wheelers Lane, we believe that looking after each other matters. Whether it’s a colleague, a friend, a family member or someone in our community - taking the time to check in, listen and show that we care can mean more than we realise. 💛

Sometimes people may be struggling behind a smile, and sometimes all they need is someone to notice.

🌻 Ask the question.
💛 Take the time to listen.
🤝 Let them know they’re not alone.

Today, and every day, let’s create a culture where it’s okay to say “I’m not okay” and where asking “R U OK?” is always welcomed.

A little kindness, a conversation and a genuine check-in can make a world of difference.

R U OK? 💛🌻

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.

🎧 Tune in to hear Dr Billy's expert insights and explore more episodes of What I Wish I Knew... The Early Learning Guide podcast: https://brnw.ch/21x5ztL

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