Goodstart Early Learning Carina

Goodstart Early Learning Carina is a warm, home-like childcare centre where children are encouraged to learn, explore and grow through play and meaningful experiences. Located on the corner of Old Cleveland Road and Cambridge Street, our centre is close to Whites Hill State College and Westfield Carindale.

Our experienced team is at the heart of our community, with five longstanding educators who have between 12 and 16 years' service and a combined 145 years of experience. This continuity helps children build trusting relationships with educators and gives families a strong sense of connection and belonging.

Children's interests and curiosity help shape our early learning program, with opportunities to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning. Our experiences include weekly Sports Days, fortnightly Bike Days, Bush Kinder and library visits, as well as monthly cooking lessons for Kindergarten children and Bollywood dancing for Nursery and Toddlers.

Our diverse community welcomes Australian, French, Indian and Chinese families, with Punjabi and Mandarin spoken by educators. Two Bachelor-qualified Kindergarten teachers support children's learning and development as they prepare for school.

Families love the familiar, welcoming feel of our centre, with some children who attended Goodstart Carina now returning with their own children. Book a tour to meet our educators, explore our learning environments and discover our child-led approach to early learning.
