If wide open spaces, a quiet country setting and a commitment to a great start for your kids through play, fun and stimulation is what you’re looking for in your child’s care, then you might have just found the right centre.

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care centre, Tallebudgera, Tallebudgera Connection Road is located in a quiet country setting. It is surrounded by paddocks filled with horses (which the children love watching) and we have nature right on our doorstep.

The centre caters for children from six weeks to five years of age – with groups from Nursery to Kindergarten - and also offers before school, after school and vacation care. As well as our indoor rooms and play areas, our centre has four spacious outdoor playgrounds – all of which are set up with stimulating sensory play and nature-based experiences.

Each room runs a play-based educational program. Individual observations on the children are completed each day, and from these a program is developed to suit the needs of the children in each room. Our curriculum is aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines. However, we work closely with our families to ensure the individual needs of each of our children are not just met, but exceeded. We also offer extra-curricular activities to help challenge the children and broaden their experiences.

We have a wonderful relationship with our community, with many opportunities to welcome visitors and work closely with the surrounding schools and community groups. Many of our families have found us through referrals from other happy families and we enjoy a very good reputation for the quality of care, the support we give our families and our involvement in the community.

We would love to meet you and discuss how we can help you give your child the very best start in life.
