Goodstart Early Learning Clayfield is a boutique, three-room centre with a unique, home-like atmosphere, modeled after classic "Queenslander" style homes. Constructed in 1986, the centre was designed to reflect the owner’s childhood memories, featuring elements like a cave for hide and seek and a man-made creek that recycles water, promoting sustainable practices. Recently, the centre upgraded its junior play area for nursery-aged children, complete with a sandpit, covered decking, and a natural creek bed for exploration.
The centre embraces children as active participants in their learning journey, offering progressive morning and afternoon tea times where children can make choices based on their needs, allowing for more meaningful, social interactions. In the Kindergarten room, children self-serve their meals, fostering independence and decision-making.
Indoor and outdoor play are available year-round, weather permitting, and the side yard serves as a “sustainable space” where children plant and care for seedlings while learning about environmental stewardship. Goodstart Clayfield was recognized as a finalist in the 2020 WasteSMART Kindy Awards for its dedication to sustainability.
With a nurturing, family-like environment and a focus on fostering children’s independence and environmental awareness, Goodstart Clayfield offers a warm, supportive space for children to grow. We welcome you to visit our centre anytime to see how we can support your child’s development.
