We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

  • Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
  • Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
  • Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
  • Personalised learning plans for each child.
  • Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Pete Tren9 months ago

Some of the staff at Great Beginnings Golden Bay are great, but the management leaves a lot to be desired—especially when it comes to supporting children with special needs. I raised concerns about my child’s care, but instead of addressing them properly, managers Lizzi and Renae responded with vague, deflective language across multiple unclear emails. Rather than taking responsibility, their responses made me feel like my child was at fault, rather than acknowledging the staff’s failure to accommodate his needs during activities. I often felt that my child was left aside and not given the care and attention they needed due to their condition. Unfortunately, I’m not alone in this experience—I know of at least two others who have had similar issues. Additionally, the community nurse has also raised concerns about this centre after hearing similar complaints. It’s disappointing that management doesn’t seem to prioritise inclusivity or proper support for all children.
