About Goodstart Secret Harbour: 

Goodstart Secret Harbour is conveniently located on Bluestone Parkway, close to a local school and just five minutes drive from the Kwinana Freeway.

Our centre caters for children aged from six weeks to five years. Children and families at our centre come from a diverse range of nationalities. We maintain strong relationships with local schools, businesses, public services and assist families at our centre to make connections with these services and with one another.

Our educators are professional and experienced, and the majority of them have been with the centre for over five years. Our educators support all children and are respectful of individual children and families’ needs, beliefs and backgrounds.

We communicate with our families via fortnightly catch-up emails, notices, and Storypark. The Storypark platform enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements.

Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and our rooms are all set up with this in mind. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling

We often organise community events at the centre for families to attend, in addition to holding open days and other centre events.
