About Goodstart Woree:

At our intimate, 75 place centre, we provide a child-initiated learning environment that supports all children's developmental goals. Our holistic, play-based curriculum is founded on collaboration between families and Educators and our key Educator-child relationships reflect the Reggio Emilia approach, fostering security and trust.

 

We promote children's rights and ensure their voices are heard in an environment that is literature-rich, sustainable, inviting, enriching, and engaging. Our centre is highly diverse, with families from Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Philippine, Torres Strait Islander, Aboriginal, and Spanish backgrounds.

 

Goodstart Woree Toogood Road has developed strong community connections through family feedback, allied health professionals, and schools, teaching environmental respect through authentic local knowledge of land and country. Together, we have created a family-cultured centre where Educators, children, and families celebrate diversity. We foster a family-oriented culture where parents feel comfortable leaving their children with us and strive to give children the best start in life, encouraging them to share their cultures and identities and to become the best versions of themselves.
