Tomorrow is Educators’ Day, and I want to take a moment to recognise just how incredibly proud I am of this wonderful team at Keneland Drive.
Every single day, they demonstrate an unwavering commitment to creating an environment where every child in their care feels safe, secure, valued, and supported. Through play, learning, and fun, they help create meaningful experiences that allow our children to grow, explore, and thrive.

I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of our team for their dedication, care, and commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the children in their care. The passion and love they bring to their work each day does not go unnoticed, and the difference they make in the lives of our children is truly invaluable.

Thank you for all that you do, and for being such an important part of our team. 💛

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.

As a not‑for‑profit, every dollar we earn is reinvested to improve outcomes – from high‑quality learning and educator development to extra support for children who need it most.
Because when we put children first, the impact goes further 💛

The research is clear 📚 reading aloud is one of the most powerful things we can do for our children.

When we read with a child, we’re doing far more than sharing a story. We’re building the foundations for language, confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

Decades of research shows that children who are read to regularly:

💛 Build stronger language skills
Hearing rich varied language in books exposes children to far more words than everyday conversation alone. This growing vocabulary helps them understand, communicate and make sense of the world.

💛 Develop early literacy skills long before they learn to read
Through stories, children learn how books work – that print carries meaning, that pages turn left to right, and that stories have a beginning, middle and end. These early understandings make learning to read feel familiar and exciting.

💛 Strengthen phonological awareness
Rhymes, rhythms and playful sounds help children hear the building blocks of language.

💛 Grow their comprehension and thinking skills
Talking together about a story, predicting what might happen, wondering how a character feels, and connecting events to real life helps children develop memory, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking.

💛 Experience connection, comfort and joy
Shared reading fosters calmness, closeness, and moments of joint attention. These warm interactions support a child's sense of security and belonging.

Most importantly, children who experience positive, engaging reading moments from a young age are more likely to develop a genuine love of books - something that matters even more than early literacy skills alone.

Reading is simple, joyful, and sets children up for success in school and life.

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! ✨

Today, we're super excited to celebrate Miss Janelle's 5 amazing years as our kindergarten teacher!

Miss Janelle's warm, caring, and calm nature truly makes her the heart of our kindergarten classroom. She has a special way of making every child feel seen and valued, creating a safe space where they can explore and learn. Her gentle approach helps even the shyest little ones feel comfortable, and her calm demeanor brings peace to the classroom, making learning a joyful experience for everyone!

Our kindergarten children thoroughly enjoy when Miss Kalpana prepares Indian cuisine. They are enthusiastic about exploring new flavours and often embrace foods their parents may not have expected them to try. Miss Kalpana takes great pride in sharing her Indian culture, and together with the children, they have created a classroom “Indian restaurant.” This space fosters imaginative play while supporting ongoing, hands-on cooking experiences.

From the team at Keneland Drive, have a very happy and safe Easter weekend. 🐰
