Goodstart Early Learning Gladstone is located in the suburbs of New Auckland/Emmadale. The centre is surrounded by native trees and gardens and is in close proximity to schools, parks, shops and other local amenities.

Our educators are all passionate, qualified professionals, many of whom have been working in Early Childhood Education and at Goodstart Early Learning Gladstone for several years.  

We provide a warm, safe and dynamic learning environment for children from birth to five years of age. Each of our rooms implements an age appropriate educational curriculum which encompasses a balance of play based/free form learning and structured experiences. In addition, the centre also runs an exciting vacation care program and a before and an after school pick up and care service (Clinton, Saint John the Baptist). 

The centre provides all meals for children aged six months and onwards. Meals are prepared by our in-house cook from our delicious, nutritionally balanced rotating menu. Some of the ingredients are even grown in our very own child-maintained garden. 

We are very proud to have been have been awarded a High Quality rating from the National Childcare Accreditation Council in August 2009. We have also been voted “Best Childcare Service in Central Queensland” two years running.
