New blooms in our Veggie Garden! Our little explorers are digging into the new year— planting fresh starts and can’t wait to watch them bloom! 🧤🌱🌸
Inspired by one of our kindergarten explorers’ real-life experiences with the Dragon Dance show, we extended the magic by creating our very own dragon from cardboard—and performed a uniquely Dragon Dance of our own! 🔥🐉🧧

This week we welcomed our CEO, Dr Ros Baxter Goodstart CEO, Our Head of Advocacy, John Cherry, along with the Local MP for Moncrief, Angie Bell MP, and her associate, Scott Burgess, to our centre. We toured them around each room meeting each of our amazing team of educators as they showcased their learning environments and individually tailored learning programs.
Around 1 in 5 Australian children start school without the foundational skills identified as being vital to success. However, access to a high-quality Kindergarten program has proven effective at improving outcomes for all children, and evidence is emerging that shows two years in a Kindergarten program is even more effective.
Goodstart’s vision is for Australia’s children to have the best possible start in life, and we were grateful to be given the opportunity to share this vision with those who can affect change.
To all our families, we send our warmest wishes for a joyful and Merry Christmas. May this festive season bring happiness, love, and special moments with your loved ones! 🎄💫🎉
