Simply put, they're amazing and awesome!

but why?
Our daughter has been attending for 6 months (since 16months old) and the center, staff and peers have become such an important part of her daily life. She talks about everyone by name!

The Center is "School" and she loves school. Even when driving by on weekends... "oooo it's my school!"
Staff Jo, Diem, Tracey, Hsa, Lauren, Yasi, Dory and all the others
Peers\Friends Amou, Hendrix, Matias, Evie, Liam and the list goes on. She has a lot of friends and tells us about all of them.

The center uses an app called Storypark. Each room uses this to share photos and a story about all the happenings of the children for the day. This gives us parents a firsthand look into the fun and excitement of our daughters day. We see photos of social play, learning tasks for motor skills, confidence building games of obstacle courses, meal times, sensory games like finding hidden objects in the slime or even story time on the mat. It is truly a special & heart warming way to interact with the center and your child without being physically present. The staff even upload the feeding & nappy changing schedule for each day. You get to be completely involved and can communicate directly with the staff regarding your child.

Our daughter had a natural fear of tunnels and confined spaces. At any play center or play ground, she simply wouldn't crawl through them. With the assistance of the staff and the social bonds and support of her friends. Our daughter now loves crawling through tunnels on any play center setup and you'd never know there was an initial reluctance. This confidence also translated to eating meals. Via specially designed motor skill games, our daughter now feeds herself using a spoon and fork and the photos (Storypark) of her doing these games clearly show her excitement, frustrations and determination. It was an amazing journey to watch!

Meal times are nutrious and tasty, the meals & snacks of each day are also shared in Storypark. Chef does an amazing job at delivering a great menu every day. Luckily our daughter doesn't have a restrictive diet. Though we were aware the center will take the special needs of any child into consideration, as this was reassured during enrolment.

All the staff are warm, welcoming and approachable, they're like members of an extended family. I honestly couldn't imagine any other Early Learning Center offering a better or more complete service than Gooldstart Early Learning Girrawheen! Our daughter is so comfortable, confident & happy and the best part is she arrives happy, leaves happy and is always looking forward to school tomorrow!

So yes, Goodstart Early Learning Girrawheen is amazing & awesome!!
