About Goodstart Early Learning Caloundra

Goodstart Early Learning Caloundra is located in the heart of Caloundra, close to schools, shops, and public transport. We cater for children aged 15 months to school age, with a focus on supporting their learning and development through the Early Years Learning Framework. Our qualified teachers run accredited Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten programs to ensure children are well-prepared for school.

We follow the Key Educator Approach, which fosters strong connections between children, families, and educators. This approach ensures consistent, responsive care tailored to each child's needs. Our large outdoor play area is equipped with sandpits, a vegetable garden, worm farm, compost bin, swings, and shaded spaces for exploration and imaginative play. The centre also features an Indigenous yarning space, where children engage in daily Acknowledgement to Country and learn about Aboriginal culture.

Through our Storypark platform, regular family nights, and newsletters, we maintain open communication with families and customise programs to reflect each child’s interests and strengths. We actively engage with the community through excursions, including our popular Beach Kinder program.

We warmly invite you to visit our centre to see how we can support your child’s early learning journey.

The Kindy and Pre-Kindy rooms and educators at Goodstart Caloundra are amazing. Brooke, the centre director, was so welcoming from our first interaction with the centre. What stands out most in the educators is their personalised approach — they genuinely understand and cater to each child's distinct needs. This level of individualised care not only supports their development but also fosters a deep sense of trust and security in both children and parents. We have absoloutely loved our time at Goodstart Caloundra.
