I have been delighted to be part of the Goodstart Kawana community for several years, and it's wonderful to see my twin daughters thrive in such a nurturing environment. The centre's positive atmosphere and exceptional team of educators have made a significant impact on their early learning experiences. The engaging activities and creative programs offered have not only fostered their educational growth but also made their time at the centre truly enjoyable. I appreciate the strong connections the educators have built with my twins, and we feel grateful for the support and warmth extended to my family by the entire team. Thank you to everyone at Goodstart Kawana for providing such a wonderful foundation for my daughters' development.

My child has been attending Goodstart for the last 6 months. She has enjoyed it tremendously and has been learning a lot - socially and emotionally. The educators are all lovely, warm and kind. I like that food and nappies are included in fees. The meals look nutritious and yummy for little ones. We are very happy at this centre!

We’ve been attending Goodstart Kawana for the past few years, and both of our boys absolutely love it! The centre has a great vibe, and the staff & educators are exceptional—truly some of the best. The kids are always doing fun, engaging activities that are both creative and educational, and it’s clear they care deeply about the kids. We’ve always felt supported and welcomed by the entire team. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our boys receive here.
