Goodstart Mount Warren Park, located on Yugambeh land, has been a proud part of the community for many years. We are committed to embedding meaningful Indigenous practices, working closely with local Indigenous groups, and following our Reconciliation Action Plan, published by Reconciliation Australia and Narragunnawali.
Our centre welcomes and includes families from all backgrounds, working together to provide high-quality, inclusive care. We cater for children aged 15 months to 5 years, with individual educational programs across four classrooms: Toddlers, Senior Toddlers, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten. Our experienced educators, with a combined 215 years of expertise, ensure the highest standard of care.
Our Kindergarten program, led by teachers with Master of Education qualifications, prepares children for school by fostering literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Key Educator practices ensure that each child has a dedicated educator, creating strong, trust-based relationships with families.
Our centre is a home away from home, with new playgrounds, a sustainability program, and an Australian Native Bee project. We use Storypark to engage families in their child’s learning journey.
We invite you to visit us and experience the warm, welcoming atmosphere we’ve created.

Curriculum and programs
Curriculum and programs
The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.
As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.
The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress.
The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.
The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.
Meet the team
Meet the team
Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.
Rachael Foley
My name is Rachael and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Mount Warren Park .
I have been working in the Early Childhood industry since 2006 and hold my Diploma in Children’s Services. I have worked with all age groups and enjoy the rewards and challenges involved with working alongside children and their families.
Here at Goodstart Mount Warren Park we are known for quality engagement, excellent family relationships and celebrating the diversity of our families and educators. A centre where inclusion of all children is valued. Where children come first, and relationships are everything!
I have a great passion for reconciliation in Australia and enjoy the journey of embedding these qualities into the service through embedded Reconciliation Action Plans.
As a mum to 4 children and 7 grandchildren, I strongly believe that children’s first 5 years in early learning should be a caring, positive, nurturing, supportive experience that builds a great foundation for life.
We strive to be the centre of choice in our community and I look forward to meeting you and your family in the future.

The staff are incredibly supportive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. Our eldest daughter is thriving, she’s made so many friends and loves going every day. A special thank you to Miss Sarah, who has been so caring and informative. She always takes the time to keep us updated and ensures our daughter feels safe and confident.
