Goodstart Early Learning Middle Ridge

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Middle Ridge! Located at 160 Spring Street, Middle Ridge, our establishment is a point of interest and a school that offers exceptional child care services. Whether you're searching for a place for your child to learn and grow or considering a career in early childhood education, we have something for everyone.

At Goodstart Middle Ridge, we understand the importance of enriching your child's learning experience. That's why we offer Goodstart at Home, a program designed to extend your child's learning through play in the comfort of your own home. Our centre is situated in a well-developed area of Toowoomba, surrounded by new residential developments, schools, shops, and community services. With over 15 years of experience, we have established strong connections within our community.

Inside our centre, you'll find a wide variety of age-appropriate resources that facilitate learning, exploration, play, and creativity. Our rooms are designed and set up around our curriculum activities, catering to children from Nursery through to Kindergarten. Nutritious meals are provided to ensure your child's wellbeing. Our programs are developed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines, preparing children for a smooth transition to school. We also prioritize the individual needs and interests of each child, incorporating them into their personalized learning plans through close communication with families and parents.

Outside, our beautiful big backyard is filled with trees, gardens, bike tracks, and vegetable patches. These environments encourage children's understanding of nature and sustainability in safe, sensory-based, and fun surroundings. Our dedicated educators and carers have long associations with our centres, creating a stable learning environment and building strong relationships with children, families, and the community.

Led by our Centre Director, Farheen, our team is committed to providing high-quality child care and education based on the Early Years Learning Framework. Farheen holds a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and a Montessori Diploma. With over 15 years of experience, including 8 years in senior leadership positions, Farheen is passionate about giving children under 5 the best start in life and fostering a love for learning through play. She is also dedicated to mentoring staff and helping them develop the skills necessary to provide an exceptional experience for children in their care.
