As a parent, finding the right kindergarten is a big decision. My child has been attending Goodstart Jindi Kindergarten and Extended Care since the 3-year-old long day care program and is now in the 4-year-old program. Looking back, I can honestly say we made the right choice. From day one, the team made us feel comfortable and reassured. As a dad, you always want to know your child is safe, happy, and in good hands — and that’s exactly how we feel here. The centre has a warm, welcoming environment, and the educators are genuinely caring and attentive. The educational approach is impressive. It’s play-based, but you can clearly see the structure and purpose behind it. Over time, I’ve seen real growth in my child — more confidence, better communication skills, stronger independence, and genuine excitement about learning. They’re not just preparing the kids for school academically, but also helping them develop socially and emotionally, which I think is just as important. A special mention to Shobna, Jamini, and Manjeet. They are outstanding educators. Patient, kind, and deeply committed to the children’s development. They take the time to understand each child individually and support them in ways that really make a difference. It’s reassuring to see how much they care and how positively they influence the kids every day. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, and we always feel informed about our child’s progress and daily activities. Overall, I’m very grateful for the role Goodstart Jindi has played in my child’s early years. I would confidently recommend this centre to any parent looking for a supportive, high-quality early learning environment.

My daughter has been attending Jindi since 2024, and she truly loves being there. All the staff are friendly, caring, and highly professional. The manager, Nichole, is exceptional in her dedication to children’s wellbeing and in maintaining a healthy and safe environment. She is always proactive and responds immediately to any needs related to the children, which is truly commendable. I sincerely wish the team at Jindi continued success in the future. Thanks Jindi.
