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.

Did you know we invested $65.5M into our social purpose last year, a 14% increase on the year before? 👏 At Goodstart, we're proud of the impact we have on children, families and communities. 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.

NAIDOC Week in Mount Isa and Miss Peta had her turn out and about in community, joining other early years services at the Injilinji Youth NAIDOC Culrural games.Teaming up with Ngukuthati Playgroup, our Goodstart Mount Isa "deadly" playdough (black, yellow, red) and "styling" playdough (teal,blue,green) was a great giveaway! We also shared our last few copies of "Finding Hope" which highlights spending quality time reading with your children and learning about safe sleep and SIDS Education. We face painted, threaded deadly beads and watch a lot of kids having fun trying different sports on the rugby union oval. A lovely free feed, plenty of yarns and lots of connection with our First Nations children and families.

Goodstart Mount Isa was so happy to host some special guests from Townsville yesterday, Miss Maria's family members who came to sing Torres Strait Islander action songs with us. What a great start to NAIDOC week, and how lucky are we that they wanted to come! The children and educators had a lot of fun joining in with Miss Maria's family and we "styled" along with them. Thank you so much Miss Maria for inviting your family to Goodstart Mount Isa.

Miss Jade got to work alongside other community members last week, supporting The Early Years precinct with an information stall outside K-Mart. She also made all the squishy freebies to give away. Working in tandom with other Early Years Services allows us all to compliment each other and be able to support children and families across Mount Isa.

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! ✨
