**About Goodstart Kenmore - Kersley Road**:
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Kenmore - Kersley Road is located in a residential area close to schools and local amenities.
We encourage the children in our care to feel a sense of love, security and inner guidance. We believe that all children are strong and capable learners and we look to each child to guide us in their learning.
We believe that children's theories and ideas are an important part of our curriculum. In the early years of a child’s life they are developing their self-esteem, self-worth and their sense of belonging and we believe that our centre, staff and Early Years’ Learning Framework curriculum help them to further understand themselves.
Our educators work in partnership with our parents and the community throughout the child’s journey to help us understand their individual child’s needs and interests. Carers encourage the children to explore at their own pace and to watch, listen and reflect on the learning of the child.
Finally, we believe that all children have the right to an environment full of love, understanding, inclusion and friendship which is what we endeavour to provide daily.
