Our Story
At Perfect Start, we create a nurturing, homely space where children thrive through joyful, play-based learning. Together with our families, we support each child’s growth, fostering their development with care and love.
Our Philosophy
Fostering Safe, Respectful, and Empowering Foundations for Lifelong Learning
At Perfect Start Early Education, our philosophy is rooted in creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is valued and respected as an individual. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and Dr. Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, we embrace the belief that each child is intelligent in their own way, with unique strengths and capacities.
Our educators, as co-explorers in the learning journey, empower children to have a voice in directing their own learning. We believe that children learn best through hands-on experiences—touching, moving, listening, and observing—that foster curiosity, imagination, and connectedness with the world around them. By offering endless opportunities for expression and exploration, we celebrate every child’s individuality and potential.
We are committed to embedding respect for cultural diversity and sustainability into daily practices. We honour the Quandamooka and Yugambeh people, the Traditional Owners of the land, by incorporating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our program, fostering an appreciation of Indigenous cultures for all stakeholders.
Our centres provide a safe, secure environment where children feel a sense of belonging and see failure as a natural part of growth and learning. By building strong, respectful relationships with families and the community, we create a foundation of trust and collaboration from enrolment onwards. We encourage active parent participation and value family input in shaping each child’s experience.
Healthy nutrition is also a priority, with fresh, balanced meals prepared onsite that meet Dietary Guidelines and inspire lifelong healthy eating habits.
Through a balance of open-ended and structured play, we support each child’s independence, creativity, and physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Our educators are committed to continuous professional growth, ensuring we stay at the forefront of early childhood education and maintain high standards of care.
At Perfect Start Early Education, we are dedicated to fostering each child’s sense of belonging, being, and becoming, preparing them for a lifetime of learning, confidence, and success.

Nurturing with Passion, Committed to Growth
At Perfect Start Early Education, the commitment from our family-owned leadership runs deep. With nearly a decade of experience in early childhood education, we are driven by a strong desire to support and uplift the next generation. What sets us apart is the wealth of knowledge and expertise within our family, including over 45 years of educational experience, which informs every decision we make for the centre.
Our journey into this sector wasn’t just about building a business—it was about making a real difference. We are deeply invested in creating a place where children can thrive, develop, and learn through meaningful experiences. This is not just a job for us; it’s a passion to nurture young minds, foster their growth, and give them the best possible start in life.

Understanding the Elements of the Kindy Song Line
At Perfect Start Early Education, we incorporate songlines into our branding to illustrate the learning journey of each child and their connection to the world around them. Using songlines in our early childhood setting sparks conversations about the journey your family will experience throughout the kindy year. This creates a wonderful opportunity for families to engage with us and connect with their children through these rich stories.
Together, we can explore and celebrate the journey of learning and growth in a way that resonates deeply with our shared cultural heritage. Our use of songlines not only enriches our educational environment but also honours and respects the traditions that shape our community, fostering a sense of belonging for every child.
