25.01.2022 This week is Child Protection Week which focuses child protection being everyone’s business and that as adults, we have a responsibility to ensure children’s safety and wellbeing. We must always LISTEN to children, learn more about unsafe behaviours to watch out for, educate ourselves on the reasons why people harm children and most importantly, act to protect children. #ChildProtectionWeek #PuttingChildrenFirst

21.01.2022 In HUGE #thankyouweek news our CEO Julia Davison just announced that all permanent Goodstart centre team members who worked tirelessly through COVID (and still ...continue to do so) will get a free day off on us! This is on the back of the exciting update yesterday that every Goodstarter in our centres will also be receiving a surprise gift pack (worth $200) from our friends over at Good360 Australia as a thank you from them! #thankyouweek #loveourGoodstarters

16.01.2022 A massive thank you to the Jackson family for sharing your culture with us this afternoon. Our children had a spontaneous treat, learning how to move like animals the aboriginal way. Craig played the didgeridoo for our children as we shared in traditional movements of an Emu, Kangaroo, Eagle and Goanna.

15.01.2022 Focus where it matters is important to us at Goodstart Andergrove. This week our educators are pulling apart inclusion to dig into how we can ensure we are intune and responsive to all children’s individual needs.

14.01.2022 We think it’s safe to say that 2020 has been a year unlike any other. For the world, for Australia and for our Goodstart team. Over the past few months people, ...families and communities have been tried and tested in the most extraordinary ways. As frontline essential workers our ‘Goodstarters’ rose to this challenge, stepping up to support our 60,000 families and 71,000 children through some incredibly challenging times. So we’ve declared this week Thank You Week! A week to celebrate and recognise our 10,000+ Goodstarters for continuing to go above and beyond in face of adversity. We have a few special surprises planned for our Goodstarters this week, but in the meantime we'd love for our Goodstart families to get involved too! Please share your messages of thanks and support below and tag an educator or a centre who has really made a difference. #ThankYouWeek #InThisTogether

Miss Paola is a valued member of our team at Goodstart Andergrove and we were very humbled to have the opportunity to share in this special moment with her. Congratulations Miss Paola

13.01.2022 We had many lovely comments from families this morning about the wonderful smell coming from our kitchen. Introducing our traditional Zucchini slice. Such a delicious and healthy snack for our energetic children and the best part is we also prepare vegetarian and dairy free versions also to cater for various dietary and medical requirements.

12.01.2022 Don’t forget to wear red today to show your support in advocating for keeping kids safe

11.01.2022 We would love if you could have your say. It only takes a few minutes to complete and can be confidential if you choose.

11.01.2022 Parenting can be very hard but is also very rewarding. If you would like some support whether it’s meal time, bed time or even whilst out shopping have a look at Triple P parenting. It’s a free resource for Queensland families to help with positive parenting and can be completed in short intervals when you have a moment.

11.01.2022 As your child’s first teacher, you are best placed to support their transition from home or Kindy to Prep. Establishing routines and providing positive experiences are some of the ways to support your child. You can find more practical tips here: https://bit.ly/3ehvDkh

10.01.2022 To support our vision of giving children the best possible start in life by ensuring they have the learning, development and wellbeing outcomes they need for school and years beyond we sometimes need an extra set of hands available to support the journey. We have an exciting opportunity for a dual centre employee to come on board. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please follow the link to apply, we would love to meet you. https://careers.goodstart.org.au//NORTH-MACKAY%/669080000/

07.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day

07.01.2022 Miss Corrie always prepares delicious and nutritious meals to support our children’s growth and development. Children may need to try new foods many times before they will like them. Tasting and learning about new fruit and vegetables is the best way for young children to become more familiar with them. You may feel like giving up if your child rejects them the first few times, but keep offering as it may take 10-15 times before they start eating them.

06.01.2022 Today we celebrated Diwali. Diwali is a 5 day Festival of Lights celebrated by millions around the world. This Festival originated in India and coincides with the Hindu new year. Thank you Miss Bhupinder and our wonderful families who organised cultural attire and danced for and with the children and staff.

02.01.2022 Tomorrow we will be embracing R U OK? Day in our centre. This is a national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK? if someone in your world is struggling with life’s ups and downs. Please join our centre community in wearing yellow to show your support. ‘Even the smallest steps move you forward’ - Oprah Winfrey
