Welcome to Goodstart Griffin!

We're a nurturing early learning centre built on the lands of the Gubbi Gubbi country. We provide a safe and caring environment where children can explore, learn, and grow.

Our experienced educators build strong relationships with children and parents, creating a sense of belonging and support from nursery to kindergarten.

With a convenient location across from Griffin State School, we offer easy access for families, making us the perfect place to start your child's learning journey.

Take a tour of our six large learning spaces and dedicated nursery sleep room. We’d love to show you why families love our modern yet home-like, naturally inspired environment.

What makes our centre special:

Meaningful relationships and open communication between educators and families
Caring, dedicated team including staff with up to 20 years of experience
Convenient location, directly across from the local state primary school
Spacious, age-appropriate rooms with dedicated yards for each group
Regular excursions to Griffin State School and local community spots
Visits from a local library, dentist, police, fire department and QLD Rail
Multilingual support, including English, Hindi, Punjabi, Pidgin, Yoruba Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Gujarati, German, and Spanish speakers, who enrich the centre experience

At Goodstart Griffin, we pride ourselves on our unique setup. Separate spaces for different age groups ensure that we can support every child's development in the best possible way.

All learning rooms have direct access to our outdoor natural play space, with sensory gardens, pergola, digging patch, vegetable garden, mud kitchen and three sandpits.

Our beautiful outdoor dining hub is a dedicated space for meals. And the child-height servery allows our professional cook to engage the children in cooking and preparing meals.

Whether attending school events, exploring the local area, or engaging in enriching incursions, we offer meaningful experiences to extend learning beyond the classroom.

Families love the close-knit community we've built, where communication is open, and our team can meet every child's needs.

Learn more about Goodstart Griffin

At Goodstart Griffin, 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 Goodstart Griffin centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified Early Childhood Teacher. 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.

The team at Goodstart Griffin goes above and beyond to create a loving, safe, and educational environment where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive. They treat each child with kindness and respect, and take the time to understand their unique personalities and learning needs. My girls come home smiling, excited to share what they’ve learned - from fun activities and crafts to social skills and new discoveries.

Hi, my name is Sarah Kane and I am honoured to be Center Director here at Goodstart Early Learning Griffin.

I have worked in the early childhood industry since 2005 working at Goodstart Early Learning since 2016.

As a mother of 3 young children, I believe I know and understand the importance of quality early learning and care.

I strive to ensure the centre achieves a high standard, where each and every child has the chance to thrive and reach their full potential under the guidance of an amazing team of Educators. Watching the children learn and grow each day whilst in our care is the most rewarding part of my job!

At Goodstart Griffin, we believe if we support the children in their early years this will provide them with a great foundation for the transition to school and life beyond. Our aim is to provide warm, comfortable environments where children learn, have fun and feel a sense of belonging.

My team and I look forward to welcoming you as part of the Goodstart Griffin family and work together to support your child in their early learning journey.
