Kids Early Learning Centre Goodna (Queen St)

At Kids ELC Goodna Queen Street, our play-based and inquiry-led curriculum is thoughtfully designed and delivered by experienced and qualified educators who understand how young children learn and thrive. Our program is inspired by Reggio Emilia practices and shaped by each child’s interests, strengths, culture and capabilities.

We believe learning is most meaningful when it happens in partnership. Our educators work closely with children and families to create engaging learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of discovery.

Our curriculum is guided by respected national and international frameworks including the Early Years Learning Framework, Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, My Time Our Place, the National Quality Framework, the Early Childhood Code of Ethics and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. These foundations help us nurture a learning environment that is inclusive, holistic and respectful of every child’s potential.

At Goodna Queen Street, learning is grounded in the power of play. Through hands-on and open-ended experiences, children grow across all areas of development including social, emotional, physical, thinking and creative. Educators support each child’s wellbeing, sense of agency and identity by responding to their individual backgrounds, cultures and ways of learning.

At Kids ELC Goodna Queen Street, we follow a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach to early learning. We see children as capable and full of curiosity. Learning is shaped by their interests, questions and relationships. Educators support this by guiding and learning alongside the children. Through play and hands-on experiences, children explore, discover and grow at their own pace.

We believe the environment is a key part of learning. Our spaces are calm, beautiful and thoughtfully set up to invite creativity and independence. Children are encouraged to express their ideas in many ways, such as through art, music, movement, storytelling and imaginative play. These experiences help them connect with others and share how they see the world.

Relationships are at the heart of our approach. We know that children learn best when they feel safe and supported. They grow through their connections with educators, other children, their families and the natural world. Our educators carefully observe and listen to children, helping to make learning meaningful. By working closely with families, we create a caring and respectful space where every child feels confident to explore, ask questions and enjoy learning.

At Kids ELC Goodna Queen Street, our educators are caring, experienced and truly passionate about helping every child grow and thrive. Each team member brings their own strengths and a shared commitment to creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for all children.

We value kindness, connection and teamwork. Our educators work closely together so that every child feels seen, supported and encouraged to learn in their own way.

All educators hold recognised early childhood qualifications. Our Kindergarten Program is led by university-qualified Early Childhood Teachers who are experts in helping children get ready for school. Ongoing learning is important to us. Our team continues to grow their knowledge so they can bring new ideas and meaningful learning opportunities into the classroom.

When families join the Kids Early Learning Centres community, they can feel confident knowing their child is supported by a skilled and caring team who lead with heart, purpose and professionalism.
