25.01.2022 Families, weve got your back. During Stage 4 lockdown we are waiving fees for all absence days. This means you can keep your booking while your children is at home - with no out-of-pocket costs. By keeping your booking:... *You have peace of mind knowing that when life returns to normal your spot is secured and your child able to jump right back in to learning! *But did you also know by keeping your booking you are supporting our wonderful centre to remain open and for our educators to have security while we wait for your return. We cant thank you enough for your patience and understanding during this time keeping your booking is one small way to support our wonderful Goodstart community. Remember, as a Goodstart family you have free access to our online learning at home activity hub Goodstart@Home. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Many thanks, Susie Zvara and Jasleen kaur

25.01.2022 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 from 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!

23.01.2022 Join the campaign: Thrive by Five: Right now, there is a growing momentum across Australia to reform child care subsidies to make high quality early learning more affordable and accessible for all children and families with more and more voices calling for change. Its no secret that the early learning system in Australia needs reform inadequate government investment means parents face rising out of pocket costs while the sector struggles with not enough resources, respect ...or pay. The exciting news is that something big is coming to help us achieve it. Our friends at Thrive by Five led by former South Australian Premier and long term early learning advocate Jay Weatherall are launching a major campaign next week calling for universal access to high quality early learning for all children. Thrive by Five is bringing together diverse voices across business, community, educators and parents on a scale never seen before. By joining the movement you will be growing its influence and helping to bring the community together for a common aim a high quality early learning system for every Australian child. The Thrive by Five campaign will be officially launched on September 1 and you can be involved from the very beginning. You can join the launch live on Tuesday, September 1 from 7.30pm Over the past months COVID has shone a spotlight on the importance of childcare for Australias economy. On the run up to the Federal Budget being announced on the 6 October this year there are increasing calls for BIG changes to be made. As the Budget approaches, let's hope the Government is listening to the growing calls to make access to early learning more affordable.

10.01.2022 Please see below our new ECT working alongside Kitty in the 4 year old Kindergarten room. Fiona will be in the centre as of Wednesday and we are all very excited to be welcoming her! Hello! My name is Fiona Huang and I am very excited to work as a kindergarten teacher in the Goodstart family! I am passionate in teaching and enjoyed my learning journey to become a qualified kindergarten teacher. My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. In order to help our children to reach their best potential, teacher needs to build positive relationship and trust with children first then the real education will start from there.
