It is absolutely amazing! My daughter has been going since she was 9 months and is now 5. Tracy and all the educations have always been there to answer any questions and dealt with any issues i have head on. I feel they are very transparent with how they treat the kids and i love seeing photos and reading about what they did every night!

Our child has been attending the centre for coming on 2 years. I have full peace of mind that my child is in the best hands each and every day. My child loves attending daycare, calls it school and loves her friends and educators.

I have been able to build some great relationships with the educators and management. I appreciate that the educators take the time to work out what is important to parents as well as the children. Staff take a collaborative approach ensuring that what is done at home is done at daycare. This is what attracted me to the centre in the first place. It has made it an easy decision and transition for my child to attend Goodstart Girrawheen.

The centre also offer many other services to parents. At times there has been hearing screening, safety education, offerings of linking parents with community services to support their child's development.

The centre management are proactive in the development of the centre and staff to ensure that children are receiving the best care and education.

I love how the learning framework is communicated to parents with daily activity updates for all children so you can see how your child and their friends have been busy that day. Each week and month we receive reports on how our child is developing in relation to the learning objectives for their age.
Any areas of concern are presented to parents and an approach is developed between parent and educator to ensure consistency for the child.

They definitely go the extra mile each and everytime.

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!!

Best Early Learning Centre . I would give 10 Stars ️
6 months ago I was a very anxious mummy who had to find the right daycare centre to put my daughter into. Many centres made us feel stupid & they were just cold when interacting with us . After many walk throughs we found Good Start Girrawheen . We got a sense of warmth & calm about Good Start Girrawheen as soon as we did a walk through. No question was to silly & they made us feel as ease . We do not regret going with our hearts on this one . The staff are beyond amazing . Our daughter has made bonds with her key educators Jo & Diem & talks about them all the time . Jo is stern & the most caring , funny & kind person & Diem is quiet , loving & just has the most beautiful soft personality that they make the room & teaching balance just perfect . Harper can’t wait to see them each day. She adores the Centre Manager Tracey her face lights up when she realises Tracey’s car is there so she can say good morning. Tracey is an amazing caring Centre Director & is always doing what is best for all her children & staff. The younger staff learn very quickly through the centres teaching & Hsa is becoming an amazing teacher & friend to our daughter . She has learnt what she likes & dislikes & interacts with her really well . Our daughter is learning so much for an almost 2 yr old she is quite bright & we thank the staff for the hard work & great teaching abilities for helping our daughter learn & grow . Going back to work was not easy but our family are Thankful for Good Start Girrawheen for making this journey a smooth & easy one for us .
