**About Goodstart Queens Park**:
Goodstart Early Learning Queens Park is a high-quality Child Care Centre located close to schools, shops and community facilities. Our educators are dedicated and committed, all having worked at our centre for two years or more.
We have a wonderful multicultural team of educators who promote non-bias and cultural awareness to enhance children's understanding of different backgrounds. We encourage children to have fun and build friendships in a safe, secure and well supervised environment.
We believe that children learn through play and everyday experiences. Our educators ensure that the most appropriate care and education techniques are applied for each child, to promote development and growth.
Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms are all planned 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.
Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability - while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.
