Goodstart Early Learning Highfields

Happy NAIDOC Week. ❤️💛🖤

This NAIDOC Week, we proudly celebrate 50 Years of Deadly, a milestone that honours five decades of strength, resilience, culture and community. This year's theme recognises the Elders, leaders, artists, advocates and communities who have shaped the NAIDOC movement and continue to inspire future generations.

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year, to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

At our centre, we believe every child has the opportunity to grow with respect, curiosity and an appreciation for the world's oldest continuing cultures. Through meaningful learning and shared experiences, we celebrate the stories, traditions and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while helping to nurture the next generation of respectful learners.

Meet Our Pre-Kindy Educators: Miss Amanda, Miss Annika and Miss Teika

Miss Amanda, Miss Annika and Miss Teika are our fulltime Educators in our Pre-Kindy Room. They work together to create a fun, engaging and warm environment where their children can learn and be creative.

Miss Amanda believes, “All children are special, unique and equal. Children should be in an early childhood environment that is warm, friendly and inviting. Educators should provide environment and experiences that support play and actively engage with children in teachable moments. Strong communication and relationships with families is vital. Educators need to work collaboratively with families as they know their child best.”

Miss Annika, "I value working in partnership with families, recognising them as children’s first teachers, and believe open communication is essential to supporting children’s wellbeing and development. I am committed to reflecting on my practice and continuing to learn so I can provide the best possible care and learning opportunities for each child."

Miss Teika, "I love making children feel safe, happy and welcomed. They should be in a happy and safe environment with people who they can trust and build relationships with. I love Goodstart as every single educator makes them feel that way, they make the children feel safe, they make them feel like they belong. We listen to every child and their needs, we help them and most importantly, we make them safe."
