About Goodstart Early Learning Clarinda

Goodstart was founded with a deeply rooted vision of ensuring that every child receives the best possible start in life by providing access to high-quality early learning. This mission drives everything we do as Australia’s largest and most trusted provider of early learning and care. We believe that early childhood education is a critical foundation for future success, and our commitment to reinvesting any surplus back into our centres, children, and staff reflects our dedication to this cause.

Unlike profit-driven organizations, we prioritize people over profit. All surplus funds are channeled directly into improving our services, from enhancing the learning environments at our centers to investing in the professional development of our educators. This approach ensures that our educators, who are already the best-paid in the sector, continue to feel valued and motivated. Their expertise and passion are key to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children in our care. Because we value our staff so highly, we have incredibly low staff turnover, which is essential for creating stable, safe, and familiar environments for the children. Research shows that consistent care from trusted adults leads to better developmental outcomes for children, and at Goodstart, we make this a priority.

Furthermore, our unique not-for-profit structure means that we can offer high-quality learning and care at a more affordable cost, making it accessible to a broader range of families. We recognize that families in remote communities, or those with additional needs or disabilities, often face greater challenges in accessing quality early education. That’s why we are committed to reaching out to these communities, ensuring that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed through early learning. By removing profit margins from the equation, we focus solely on what truly matters—delivering the best possible outcomes for children and their families.

Tom Packham10 months ago

As first-time parents it was a difficult call to make when deciding if we should send our 7 month old to childcare but Kash and her team at Goodstar Clayton made us feel like family well before our daughter's first day and have continued to provide a loving and supportive environment not only for our daughter but for us as parents as well. They are highly accommodating and tailor their care to align with our values and routines at home. Their communication has also been impeccable, which helped us to feel more comfortable sending our daughter, especially in the early days/months. Our little one is now almost 2 years old and we have since moved 45 minutes away, however we gladly make the commute every day because we know and appreciate just how lucky we are to have found such a supportive, compassionate and loving group of people to care for our daughter.
