🏉💚 JERSEY DAY 2026 💚🏉
Today our children and educators proudly wore their favourite sporting jerseys for a cause that is about so much more than sport.

Jersey Day is about raising awareness of organ and tissue donation and encouraging Australians to have an important conversation with their loved ones about becoming a donor.
Jersey Day was inspired by 13-year-old Nathan Gremmo, who tragically passed away in 2015. Nathan became an organ donor and, through his incredible gift, saved the lives of six people. His legacy continues through Jersey Day, encouraging schools, workplaces and communities across Australia to start conversations about organ and tissue donation. 💚

Today was a beautiful opportunity for our Goodstart Pacific Paradise community to wear our jerseys, have some fun and, most importantly, help spread awareness about the incredible difference organ and tissue donation can make. 🫶🏼

One organ donor can save the lives of up to seven people, with tissue donation having the potential to help many more.
A simple conversation can make a difference. 💚

Every day, our educators bring so much love, patience, care and dedication to our children and families. From the cuddles and comforting moments to the laughter, learning and little milestones, the impact you make each and every day is truly incredible. ✨

I feel so lucky and proud to work alongside such an amazing team of educators who genuinely put their whole hearts into what they do.

To our Pacific Paradise team, thank you for everything you do, for the love you give our children, for supporting one another and for making our centre the beautiful place it is.

🌈 Learning through play in our Nursery 🌈

Our little learners have been busy exploring, discovering and connecting through so many beautiful play-based experiences! 💜

From sharing stories together and searching for the green sheep 🐑, to creating our own fluffy sheep, exploring colours and water, chasing bubbles and using our outdoor space for hands-on play — every experience provides an opportunity to learn.

Through these moments, our children are developing their language and early literacy, fine motor skills, creativity, curiosity, social connections and confidence. We especially love seeing our children learning alongside one another and our educators, sharing smiles, discoveries and plenty of wonder along the way. 🫧📚✨

At Goodstart Pacific Paradise, even the simplest moments of play can lead to BIG learning for our littlest learners. 💕

A huge thank you to our families for getting involved and helping make Book Week such a fun and memorable celebration for our children. ❤️

There’s nothing quite like the magic of a good book! 📚✨

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.

Science Week at GoodStart Pacific Paradise 🔬🌱🌈

What an exciting Science Week we’ve had!
Our children explored, experimented and discovered through lots of hands-on experiences. 🌋✨

We created our very own volcanoes, planted seeds and watched them begin to grow, explored colours with Skittles, and investigated what objects would sink or float. 🌱🎨💧

It was wonderful to see the children making predictions, asking questions, observing changes and sharing their discoveries with one another. Science Week was full of curiosity, wonder and lots of fun! 🧪💛

🎨✨ Messy Play Fun in Toddlers! ✨🎨

Our toddlers have been getting stuck into some wonderful messy play experiences! 🥰
From squishing, splashing and exploring different textures to getting creative with their little hands, there has been plenty of fun (and a little bit of mess! 😉).

Messy play provides our children with opportunities to explore their senses, develop fine motor skills, build confidence and use their imagination while learning through hands-on experiences. 💕👐🏼

We love watching our little learners get curious, experiment and discover what happens when they mix, pour, scoop and create! 🌈✨

🚒🔥 A Visit from Our Local Firefighters! 🔥🚒
Last week we were so lucky to welcome the amazing firefighters from Coolum Fire and Rescue to our centre! 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒

The children had the opportunity to meet our local firefighters, learn all about what they do, and get a closer look at some of the equipment they use to help keep our community safe. 🚒🧯

Our children did such an incredible job listening, answering questions and asking some fantastic questions of their own! We loved seeing their curiosity, confidence and excitement throughout the visit. ❤️

A huge thank you to the Coolum firefighters for taking the time to visit us and share your knowledge with our little learners. We are so grateful for everything you do to keep our community safe! 👏🏼🚒
