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.

This week our amazing Goodstarters took part in hands‑on First Aid and CPR training. It was a fantastic opportunity for our team to refresh their knowledge, practise essential skills, and continue building confidence in keeping our children safe every day.
At Goodstart Glebe, safety is at the heart of everything we do. Investing in ongoing training ensures our educators are always prepared, calm, and capable when it matters most.
We’re proud of our team for their enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to providing the highest quality care for our centre community 💛

Today in our Preschool Room, the children enjoyed participating in a fun milk experiment!

The children explored colours, observed changes, and shared their thoughts and predictions throughout the experience. This hands-on activity encouraged curiosity, engagement, and learning through exploration.

It was wonderful to see the children so excited and involved during the experience today!

Today our preschool group visited the Glebe Fire Station 🚒

We had an amazing learning experience where the children explored fire safety and emergency procedures. We learned about calling 000 in an emergency, and discussed important safety steps such as staying calm, getting down low under smoke, and moving quickly to safety.

The children were very excited to explore a real fire truck, look at the equipment firefighters use, and listen to the fire alarm. It was a fantastic hands-on experience that helped build their understanding of how firefighters keep our community safe.

A special highlight of our visit was also doing gardening at the fire station 🌱. The children enjoyed planting, digging, and caring for the garden alongside the firefighters, showing great teamwork and curiosity.

Thank you to the wonderful firefighters for welcoming us and sharing such a meaningful and engaging learning experience 💛

A beautiful day at Goodstart Glebe as we welcomed our CEO Dr Ros Baxter into our centre. She met our educators, connected with the children, and even received a special present, a drawing the children made with so much excitement. It meant a lot to have the chance to share our experiences and ideas, and to feel genuinely heard.

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! ✨
