22.01.2022 Play is one of the main ways in which children learn and develop. Young children can develop many skills through the power of play. They may develop their language skills, emotions, creativity and social skills. Play helps to nurture imagination and give a child a sense of adventure.

21.01.2022 Key educator relationships: Helping children reach their full potential through secure attachments and individual care and education is at the heart of Goodstarts key educator relationships. Goodstart has committed to working towards key educator relationships in all centres nationally to promote continuity and consistency through nurturing relationships between educators and children individually and in small groups.... Key educators give families and children one or two people in the centre who are deeply connected to the child, their development, their rituals and their specific needs. For families, this means they always have a go to person in the centre to discuss their child, ask questions or raise concerns while for children, key educators help to form strong and secure relationships which are essential for learning and well-being.

20.01.2022 Hi Goodstart families! As you know the Government announced today that the 'free childcare' package will expire on 12 July and that the CCS system will return f...rom 13 July, along with new transition measures (up until October) to support the sector and parents as they move back to the subsidy. This announcement is a little bit complex so we are working hard to understand what this means for our families and for Goodstart. We will provide an update to our centres and our families later today and over the coming days as we learn more. #5weekstogo! See more

18.01.2022 Families are spending more time together than ever before, and sometimes that can mean emotions (and behaviours) can go a little off track. We're really excited... to share with you a new resource we've developed for families to help them guide and support their children's behaviours and emotions. The Goodstart Family Behaviour Support Kit has information and resources to help support your child to understand and manage their emotions and help them learn how to communicate their needs in an appropriate way. It's a physical kit delivered straight to your door and includes a multitude of helpful tools and tips! You can purchase this kit direct from our Goodstart@Home website (click on Behaviour Support Kit). https://athome.goodstart.org.au/ See more

16.01.2022 In a supportive active learning environment, children who are confident and involved learners are increasingly able to take responsibility for their own learning, personal regulation and contribution to the social environment.

15.01.2022 On behalf of the Department of Education, Skills and Employment, the Australian Childrens Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) is delivering a national toll free helpline to assist parents and carers to find an early childhood education and care service during the COVID-19 pandemic. The helpline contact number is 1800 291 041 and it operates 9am to 5pm (AEST), Monday Friday (excluding public holidays).

15.01.2022 Our Senior Toddlers have been busy creating sun catchers from flora found in our playgrounds. Natural materials, such as bark, flowes and leaves, can be used in a wide range of ways in playtime to promote wonder and curiosity while learning. As children explore and collect natural materials they are able to actively investigate scientific concepts, while being imaginative and creative.

15.01.2022 The Nursery encourages the children to enhance their cognitive skills through working together to match the shapes, The children are encouraged to share and turn taking.

15.01.2022 Book week 2020! Yesterday we celebrated book week with a dress up day there was so many wonderful costumes throughout the whole center!

15.01.2022 Sand play promotes physical development. Large muscle skills develop as children dig, pour, sift, scoop, and clean up spills with brush and dustpan. Hand-eye coordination and small muscle control improve as children learn to manipulate sand accessories.

14.01.2022 Role play is more than just fun.. It is an important element of childrens development. Role play experiences can support children to extend their communication and language skills, social skills and sparks creativity and imagination.

13.01.2022 Cutting gives young children independent movements of each finger. Cutting with scissors works on the separation of two sides of the hand and strengthens hand muscles. Bilateral coordination is also addressed when they have to hold the scissors in one hand and paper in the other. Cutting on a line and switching directions are great visual motor activities. The positioning of the scissors in a child's hand also starts to work on the tripod grasp. This is why scissors are so important in kindergarten as it is a precursor for handwriting.

12.01.2022 The Senior Toddler children have been participating in hands on learning by growing seedlings and learning sustainable practices to care for their plants and our Earth. Children can learn new skills, have fun, play and develop self-confidence by spending time in the garden tending plants and growing their own food.

11.01.2022 Young children need opportunities to experience wonder to develop curious minds.

11.01.2022 Children learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them for the written word.

11.01.2022 A nutritious diet is vital for childrens development, so we make sure to provide meals that give children all the nutrients and energy they need. Children love to eat together, so the meal times at a centre are always fun! If you would like to see what's on the menu at Goodstart Banksia Beach please phone the Centre to book you tour today. 3408 6255

10.01.2022 "Play is our brains favourite way of learning." Our kindergarten children have been showing interest in learning about different bodies of water lately beginning by them all working as a team to create rivers in the sand pit. To extend the childrens interest and knowledge further our kindergarten teacher set up a fishing experience as they spoke about the ocean.

10.01.2022 The Centre will be closed on Monday the 4th of May for the Labour Day public holiday.

10.01.2022 "You've got a friend in me"

09.01.2022 Teaching children to care for the environment is a learning experience that is an important part of growing up. It gives them skills in respect, empathy, patience, responsibility, and teaches them about consequences. But it also teaches them valuable lessons about sustainability and how we want to leave the world for future generations. Showing children how to recycle properly is like passing the baton to them for a cleaner and brighter future.

08.01.2022 Threading is a great activity to help children develop fine motor skills essential for being able to draw, write, do up buttons, tie shoelaces, open lunch boxes and more. Threading also helps to develop eye-hand coordination and concentration skills.

06.01.2022 Developing social skills is an essential part of life, in fact, children construct new knowledge and learnings when they engage with friends, and they learn how to relate to others, respond to challenges, regulate their behaviour and emotions and develop social skills and confidence.

06.01.2022 Small worlds, as well as being fun, are the ideal platform for nurturing children's imagination from a young age. This play provides them with an opportunity to explore new materials, act out scenarios from real life, build language, practice social skills, and gain an understanding of the world.

06.01.2022 Next Wednesday 2 September is Early Childhood Educators' Day! This year it coincides with the start of spring and we thought what better way to celebrate than ...to say it with flowers! We are calling on our families to help fill our centres with greenery on this important day! It doesnt matter whether you bring a plant from a shop, something from your garden or even a sneaky snip from the side of the road it will surely put a smile on the faces of our well-deserving teams!

05.01.2022 Through constructive play a child will learn what will work and what will not. Trial-and-error is a great method in which to create structures and modify methods. Overcoming problems to build structures in a particular way will always aid creative thinking and problem solving skills. #playbasedlearning #learningforlife

05.01.2022 Learning about ANZAC Day helps young children to understand the life and times of Australia and its people. By building young childrens understandings about the traditions of ANZAC Day, the many real life stories of sacrifices and heroism of everyday Australians will not be lost, but be handed down to future generations. Our vacation care children have been learning about ANZAC Day and due to celebrations being a little different this year have decided to mail messages and drawings of appreciation to our local RSL.

03.01.2022 The Senior toddler children have been learning about farm animals and in a recent discussion a few of the children had explained to their educators where milk comes from, so today the children completed a cow milking activity to extend thier knowledge on cows in a fun hands on experinece.
