Meet our families

Welcome to Goodstart Flagstone!

We're your local long day care centre, offering children in our community a nurturing start in nursery through kindergarten.

To our families, we're also a close-knit, caring community. And we'd love to welcome you in.

Located beside the local school, our centre offers the ease of a single drop-off for siblings and a strong sense of continuity as children grow.

Our longstanding, experienced team provides a calm, natural environment where children can play and learn at their own pace.

We invite you to take a tour and see the difference for yourself.

Why local families choose us:

Expansive outdoor yard with natural elements, mud pits and wildlife
Close relationship with the school next door, including transition activities
Well-established service and supportive team who truly know our local families
Relaxed, non-sterile environment focused on authentic play
Multicultural, inclusive approach with support for diverse needs
Open enrolments across all age groups, ideal for larger families
Kindergarten program with local school connection and community involvement

Families often tell us that Goodstart Flagstone just feels different - warm, welcoming and real.

Our outdoor spaces may not be pristine, but they offer genuine opportunities for discovery, nature play and meaningful exploration. Children feed birds, gather leaves, and build their confidence outdoors.

Our educators bring years of experience and care to their roles, creating a stable and familiar space where every child is valued. We're proud of our strong links to the school next door, which support a seamless transition to the next stage of learning.

Book a tour today or reach out to learn more about our approach to early learning in a relaxed and natural setting.

Learn more about Goodstart Flagstone

At Goodstart Flagstone, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
1. Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
2. Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
3. Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
4. Lifelong Learning: Instilling a love of learning by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners. 
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.  
At our Flagstone centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school. 
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:
• Discounts on multiple days
• All day sessions
• Discounted shorter sessions
• Fee assistance programs for families that need support
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Flagstone. My name is Kathleen and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Flagstone. I have been in the Early Learning industry since 1993 and hold a Diploma in childcare and education. My time in the industry has allowed me to work across all early learning age groups.

I believe the first five years are the most important in any child’s development and I take great pleasure in helping today’s young children to develop the skills to become strong, independent leaders of our future. I believe effective communication between families and staff is vital, so I encourage the families at this centre to have a voice, share their ideas and join in the learning with their child. As a mum myself, I am passionate about a strong social and emotional development.

I look forward to meeting yourself and your child!
