I had such a wonderful experience during my first professional placement at Goodstart Jindi Kindergarten in the 3–5-year-old kindergarten room. From day one, the team was incredibly welcoming and respectful, and I never once felt like an outsider. They made me feel comfortable and supported, which meant a lot as a complete beginner. Everyone was always happy to guide me whenever I needed help, and I learned so much along the way. My mentor, Sana Ashraf, was truly exceptional. She was patient, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She always took the time to teach me and really helped me build my confidence. Even after my placement ended, I reached out to her a few times for advice, and she was always happy to help. I’m really grateful for the experience at Goodstart and for the wonderful people who made it such a positive learning journey for me.

I highly recommend Jindi to any parent considering care for their child. I have come from a centre that weren’t able to support the needs of my children (ASD/medical condition) and Jindi have been supportive from the very beginning. The staff have been very welcoming and have been eager to learn about the girls conditions in order to make their transition to care as smooth as possible. I had reservations at first but the communication, dialogue and care we receive has put my mind at ease. The smiles on the girls faces when they run in to their classes also says a lot. I am very grateful for all the staff at the centre and would strongly recommend you give them a go.
