Goodstart Early Learning Derrimut

Located on Bunurong (Boon Wurrung) and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung land, Goodstart Derrimut offers a welcoming and inclusive early learning environment where children feel safe, valued and inspired to learn. Within walking distance of Derrimut Primary School and St Lawrence School, our centre supports strong connections between early learning and school. With experienced educators and a focus on school readiness, children are supported to build confidence, independence and a love of learning.

Our highly experienced team includes seven Bachelor-qualified teachers who deliver high-quality, play-based learning guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Educators take the time to understand each child’s individual strengths, supporting their social, emotional and cognitive development through meaningful, engaging experiences.

We offer two years of Kindergarten, giving children extended opportunities to build the skills they need for a smooth and confident transition to school. Our strong partnerships with local schools, including regular visits and shared experiences, help children feel familiar and prepared for their next step.

Children learn through a play-based, child-led approach that encourages creativity, problem solving and independence. Our diverse and inclusive community celebrates a wide range of cultures and languages, helping children develop respect, empathy and a strong sense of belonging.

We also provide engaging incursions and excursions that connect children with their local community and real-world experiences, enriching their learning beyond the classroom.

Families often tell us they value our experienced team, strong relationships and supportive environment, with many returning with younger siblings. Book a tour today to see how your child can learn, grow and thrive with us.
