We’re part of your village at Community Kids Goodna Early Education Centre. Our early learning and long day care centre is conveniently located near Goodna State School near Ipswich and is ideal for families living or commuting through Gailes, Redbank, and Goodna. We are open from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.
From the moment you step into our Goodna child care centre, you will experience a world where children are inspired to explore, learn and grow. Our spacious outdoor environments includes climbing equipment, sandpits, cubby house, and a vegetable garden to engage all the senses. Children are provided time and space for uninterrupted play as they explore the outdoor spaces to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence.
Our indoor environments invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children marvel, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Our team of experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, as children engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists and designers.
You won’t need to worry about packing lunch and snacks for your child. We provide healthy, freshly made meals created daily by our in-house cook, catering for all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators grow relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices.
Extending upon experiences at school and at home, our Before and After School-aged care programs provide children with a positive social environment designed for play, leisure and learning. Children participate in diverse experiences, allowing them to be physical and creative and have time to relax before or after the school day.
Our school holiday care program offers school-age children (aged 5 – 12 years) time to unwind and spend time with friends during school holidays.
Each day is a brand-new adventure at Community Kids Goodna child care centre. We regularly welcome special community guests to the centre based on the children’s interests. Throughout the year, educators and children venture out to excursions in our local Goodna community visiting nearby parks and nature reserves. Neighbourhood connections support a sense of community and belonging for children and provide opportunities to develop social and observational skills with different people, places, and environments.
We offer an engaging sustainability program teaching the children a sense of responsibility and connection to their world.
As members of our Community Kids community, we look forward to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care in your child’s formative years.
