Goodstart Early Learning Deer Park

We’re your local not-for-profit early learning centre, built on Wurundjeri land and proudly rated Exceeding in all seven areas of the NQS, reflecting our commitment to exceptional education and care. Our dedicated educators create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. We enrol children aged six weeks to five years across our nursery, toddler, and kindergarten spaces.

Conveniently located on the corner of Ballarat Road and Station Road, just minutes from Deer Park Train Station and nearby schools, our centre is a trusted hub for families who value strong relationships, cultural diversity, and quality early education. With four age-specific rooms and a passionate, experienced team—many with 5–10 years at the centre—we provide stability, continuity, and meaningful learning experiences that prepare children for school and beyond. We invite you to tour our service and experience the difference firsthand.

Our centre offers age-based learning environments with smooth transitions, led by qualified educators including seven Early Childhood Teachers, with two leading our kindergarten programs. Children benefit from weekly Bush Kinder sessions, a multicultural and inclusive community, and a diverse team speaking languages such as Hindi, Mandarin, Fijian, Filipino, and English. Our inclusive menu caters to dietary needs, including Halal-certified meals.

We follow the Key Educator approach to build strong, trusted relationships and deliver a varied program including incursions, excursions, and community engagement. We also offer a complimentary Stay and Play session so families can explore our centre and meet our team. Book a tour today to see how we support your child’s learning journey.
