Parking details

Parking The centre has some on site reserved Goodstart Early Learning car parks, however there are two surrounding streets where parking is safe and allowed if needed.
Our centre is a small three room centre which is situated in a prime location with easy access to the town centre, the Caloundra Industrial Estate and the main housing estates Bell Vista, Parklands, Little Mountain etc. 

The centre is tucked away in a low traffic, quiet area opposite a retirement village in close proximity of public and private schools, bus stops and a shopping centre.

The centre boasts a team of extremely qualified, highly experienced, friendly staff who strive and are dedicated to ensuring that we provide the highest quality care within the area. 

All staff have been at the centre for a minimum of one and a half years and offer professional and personal care to the children and their families in a warm, safe and nurturing atmosphere. 

The centre has recently been renovated with new playgrounds, carpet walls, new flooring and a re-paint. 

The centre was built as a child care centre approximately 15 years ago and boasts a well thought out format. 

We believe the care that we provide and service we offer is very hard to beat.  
Gemma Taihuka-Reece
Centre Director
My name is Gemma Taihuka-Reece and I am the very proud Centre Director of Goodstart Early Learning Little Mountain East. I believe I am your ultimate success story as I started my career through volunteering at age 17 until my potential as a childcare worker was seen six weeks later and I was offered a traineeship in Community Services (Children’s Services), or Certificate III at an ABC centre.  I quickly worked through Certificate III as an Assistant and became a Group Leader within two years and began studying my Diploma in Community Services. 

I really enjoyed being a Group Leader and being able to assist children with their individual development and more importantly getting to assist with play based experiences following their interests.

I am now very pleased to say that I love my job as Centre Director, my colleagues, the families and children in my care and I thoroughly look forward to each day I get to spend with these people. I ensure the centre runs at a very high standard at all times by having a clear understanding of each job role and even that of a parent in the centre. 

I am confident that the care that we provide at Goodstart Early Learning Little Mountain East is hard to match as we are one big family that have one very important thing in common, ensuring that children live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives in their early childhood years.
