**About Goodstart Kenmore - Princeton Street**:
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Kenmore - Princeton Street is located just off Moggill Road in the heart of Kenmore. Parking is available at the entrance of the centre, with commuter parking conveniently located two blocks away.
Our child care centre caters for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years old and our learning programs are devised around the individual needs and interests of the children, while being drawn from the Early Years Learning Framework.
Our educators aim to work in partnership with families to ensure the best learning outcomes for each child. All of our early learning professionals hold relevant qualifications, current blue cards and first aid certificates.
Our play based, stimulating 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.
A major focus for our centre is how working with the broader community can help us enrich the children’s learning experience. Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society.
