About Goodstart View our Facebook community

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre in Brighton is a 75 place long day care centre, located just past Jetty Road Brighton. We are close to schools, shops and transport routes. Our convenient spot is handy for families who work in the city but live near the beautiful beach area. Our centre is set back from the main road which keeps the children from being close to the road when enjoying their outdoor nature play areas.

We provide high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Using the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children's learning, our educators are passionate and committed to providing nurturing and simulating early learning environment. With a strong commitment and focus to create a warm and welcoming community focused centre we look forward to building and maintaining meaningful and true relationships with all our families and children.

What Goodstart can offer you:

  • You'll get paid on par with state primary school Teachers (*if you hold your Bachelor in Early Childhood Education and Care or equivalent)
  • 50% discount off your childcare fees and up to 6 weeks paid parental leave
  • Paid professional development
  • Two wellbeing days included in your personal leave per year
  • Free annual flu shot (optional)
  • Option to purchase extra leave for even greater work life balance
  • First Nations Support and Cultural Leave
  • Retail discounts on insurance, travel and technology
  • Uniform allowance and employee referral program

You'll need:

  • Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education) or a Diploma in Early Childhood (or ACECQA approved equivalent)
  • Strong knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards
  • Current SA Working with Children Check

If you have previous experience leading change in education and have either a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education), a Diploma qualification or ACECQA approved equivalent, then we'd love to talk to you about which of our amazing opportunities would be the best fit for you.
