Goodstart Early Learning Shailer Park

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Shailer Park is located in a residential area close to our local schools and shops as well as main roads and transport. We believe that early childhood should represent freedom, and a time in our lives when learning is a magical part of growing up. Each day through various experiences, our children problem solve, learn mathematical concepts, discover literacy and delve into scientific concepts.  Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten – are all geared 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.   The recent introduction of the online platform Storypark allows educators to document and share children’s learning with families easily and efficiently whilst providing real-time opportunities to connect and communicate with families.   Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces – with sandpit, verandahs, mud kitchen, vege patches, worm farm, natural creekbed, water tanks and lots of shade. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.   At Goodstart Shailer Park we have many partnerships in the Logan area. We work closely with many community organisations and can always offer links to support as the need may arise.   We acknowledge the aboriginal Yuggera people as the traditional custodians of the land on which our child care centre is built and thank them for the opportunity to work and play here. We pay respects to elders with the children and teach them about our country’s Aboriginal history. Through visits to the centre from people throughout the community, as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society.   We look forward to meeting you and your family soon! Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.lg...Read More
