About Goodstart Albany
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Albany is conveniently located near the heart of the Albany CBD, on the corner of a nice quiet leafy cross road. We are close to many amenities such as a Pharmacy, Pioneer Doctors Surgery, Gym and Rainbow Coast Neighbourhood Centre. We are a purpose-built service, with five large rooms, a kitchen and cook, and enough play space outdoors for children to discover and explore at their will. We are fortunate enough to have two Nursery Rooms where we can tailor our learning programs to suit the age groups of our foundation years. Nursery 1 (6 weeks – 15 months), Nursery 2 (15 – 24 months) and then we have our Toddlers room with our terrific twos (2 – 3 years), and our Kindergarten (3 - 5 years).
Our centre was assessed by the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority and we received an overall rating of 'Exceeding'. This process is a National Framework, which rates all Childcare Centres across Australia against the National Quality Standards.
