With a passionate team of longstanding educators and a strong connection to our local community, families feel confident knowing their child is in safe and experienced hands. 

Proudly built on Wurundjeri Land, we're conveniently located on the corner of Middleborough Road and Craig Street. You’ll find us just minutes from Laburnum Primary School and Blackburn South shops – making drop-offs and pick-ups simple and stress-free.

What makes our centre special:

  • Longstanding educators with up to 25 years of service create a stable and nurturing environment
  • Small, close-knit centre where every family and child is personally known and supported
  • Warm, culturally diverse team helping bilingual families feel understood and included
  • Play-based programs guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, led by two qualified kindergarten teachers
  • Open, engaging outdoor areas with sandpits, gardens, cubby houses, and spaces designed for discovery
  • Fresh, nutritious meals prepared daily by our on-site cook - dietary needs and preferences considered
  • Strong family partnerships built on trust, open communication, and genuine care

Inside our bright and thoughtfully designed learning spaces, your child can explore, imagine, and grow through hands-on experiences that build confidence, curiosity, and social skills.  

Outside, our natural play areas inspire creativity and sustainability, with veggie patches, worm farms, and shared spaces that bring learning to life. 

Our passionate educators will work closely with you to tailor programs that reflect your child's interests, strengths, and culture.  

Through Storypark, you'll stay connected to your child's learning journey every step of the way.

Tina Tian17 days ago

My child has been enrolled at Goodstart Blackburn South since last year. The staff are wonderful, and the carers are very easy to communicate with and clearly know what they are doing. I receive lots of verbal updates about my child’s day, and I always see big smiles when I pick my child up. Highly recommended!
