Goodstart Early Learning Brunswick West

A Heartfelt Farewell & Thank You 💛

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye as our centre closes this week. 💔

It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your little ones’ early learning journeys, watching them grow, laugh, explore, and create beautiful memories together.

From the first tiny steps to the biggest achievements, every moment has been special, and we are so grateful for the trust and support you’ve given us. 🙏

Your children have filled our days with joy, wonder, and endless giggles, and for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💖

While this chapter is coming to an end, we want you to know that our connection doesn’t have to. You are always welcome at our Goodstart Early Learning Centres, where some of the same team, the same warmth, care and dedication await.

If you need any guidance or support in transitioning, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 🤝

Wishing you all the best in your next adventures and know that the memories we’ve shared will stay with us forever. 🚀

With love and gratitude
The Goodstart Brunswick West Team

Every day, our educators and teachers make hundreds of small decisions that shape a child's confidence, joy and sense of belonging.

We measure impact through research and outcomes — but children experience it in the moments that matter most.

How safe they feel.
How curious they become.
How confident they grow.

This is Goodstart, through the eyes and voices of the children we're here for.

From January 2026, all Australian families eligible for CCS will be guaranteed at least 3 days a week (72 hours per fortnight) of subsidised early childhood education and care.

This landmark change — the 3 Day Guarantee — replaces the Child Care Subsidy Activity Test and means:
✅ Eligible families can save thousands each year
✅ Every child can access vital early learning opportunities
✅ Certainty for families who are working, studying, or looking for work
✅ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families receive 100 hours per fortnight (up to 5 days a week)

At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life with quality early learning at the heart of what we do. We’re here to help families make the most of these new changes.

👀 You may have already spotted Goodstart's 'What and When For Families' guide in centre with copies available in each room and at reception.

And from 2026, every enrolled child will also receive a guide in their welcome pack.

The What and When is designed especially for families to support children's learning at home.

We know that learning doesn't stop at the centre gate – it happens everywhere. This guide provides simple ways to build on the learning your child is doing with us, covering areas such as communication and language, creativity, problem-solving, and physical development.

Because when we work in partnership, children thrive. 💛
