Our Commitment to Reconciliation 🖤💛❤️

At Goodstart Flora Hill, reconciliation is more than a commitment on paper, it’s about the relationships we build, the respect we demonstrate and the opportunities we create.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) guides us in embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and perspectives into our everyday practices and learning environments. 🌿

We’re committed to strengthening relationships with our local community, fostering cultural understanding and creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

💛 Reconciliation is an ongoing journey, and we’re committed to continuing to learn, reflect and grow together.

What do children really need to flourish?

As parents, we hear all the time that the early years matter. But when you’re choosing an early learning centre, what should you actually be looking for? What does high-quality early learning really look and feel like?

We asked Goodstart Chief Children’s Officer and early learning expert Professor Cathrine Neilsen-Hewett to break down what the evidence tells us makes the biggest difference for children.
And it’s not about having the newest equipment, the fanciest toys or the most picture-perfect rooms.

It’s about the things happening within those spaces every day: skilled educators, strong and secure relationships, rich interactions with other children, intentional play-based learning, and strong leadership and supportive team culture.

When these elements come together, early learning becomes so much more than a place children spend their day. It becomes an environment where they can feel safe and supported, build relationships, explore, play, learn and flourish.

Who said maths is just about numbers? 🤔

Our Wurrumuk (Kinder) children have been exploring mathematical concepts through meaningful, hands-on learning experiences!

🌧️ Rain Gauge: We’ve introduced a rain gauge, providing opportunities for children to observe and measure rainfall whenever it rains.

📏 Height Chart: Exploring height, measurement and comparisons as children discover how tall they are!

💛 Because maths isn’t just something we learn…it’s something we discover in the world around us!

🗺️ Exploring Our Community, One Place at a Time! 💛

Where do we fit into our community? 🌏

Our Wurrumuk (Kinder) children have been exploring our local community through an ongoing mapping project, starting with a familiar place… Goodstart Flora Hill!

From there, the children began identifying and adding places they recognise, including the police station, fire station, schools, parks, supermarkets and even McDonald’s! 🚒🏫🌳

The children also shared whether they live close to our centre or need to travel by car, sparking conversations about distance, location and the places that connect us to our community. 🌱

💡 Did you know? 💡

💜 At Goodstart Flora Hill, safeguarding children is at the heart of everything we do. Creating a child safe environment goes beyond meeting our regulatory responsibilities — it is embedded in our everyday practices, relationships and interactions with children and families.

An important part of our commitment to safeguarding is Goodstart’s Look, Do, Tell framework, which reinforces that keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility.

👀 LOOK – Recognise when something doesn’t seem right, whether it’s something you see, hear or a child shares with you.

💗 DO – Be attentive to children’s behaviours, emotions and the signs that may indicate they are feeling unsafe.

💬 TELL – Speak up and report any concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing. You don’t need to be certain to raise a concern.

At Goodstart Flora Hill our team is committed to creating an environment where children’s voices are heard, their rights are respected and their safety and wellbeing remain our priority. 💜

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and every conversation matters.

🌸 Our Barramul and Garuk (Toddler 1 & 2) children have been exploring the beauty of nature through art. 🎨

Using photographs of flowers as visual provocations, children were invited to observe colours, shapes and patterns, drawing on their own ideas and interpretations to create their artwork.

These visual provocations spark curiosity and encourage creativity and self-expression, while providing opportunities for children to experiment with colours and mark-making, develop fine motor skills and explore their own artistic ideas. 🌻
