Goodstart Jones Hill
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Jones Hill is set in a rural area and is five minutes from the heart of Gympie.
Our child care centre has five large rooms catering from the ages of six weeks to 5 years.

Our educators are friendly and caring, and each educator holds a Blue Card and First Aid qualifications. The educators at Goodstart Jones Hill are fully qualified and are continually studying to further their qualifications.
Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten – are all geared with this in mind. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling.
This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements.

The child care centre has three play areas, one for the nursery and toddlers, the main area for mixed age groups and the third area for Kindergarten children. Goodstart Jones Hill is fully equipped with a wide range of toys and equipment for the development of the children's learning through gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, language and social and emotional.
The centre provides morning and afternoon tea, is air conditioned throughout and provides educational programs based on each individual child. We also provide lunch and nappies for children.
Our goal is to create a warm, friendly, caring and safe environment for all our families which will provide a stimulating and educational program for the children's learning and development.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family and explore how we can support you on this early learning adventure.
