About Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Parkdale!

Our centre is located in a residential area close to schools, shops and community facilities. We are a 60-place centre and our team of carers and educators are passionate and highly qualified, with Diploma accreditations and higher. Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool. The natural world is our classroom. Our curriculum is inspired by the outdoors and nature play forms part of our learning goals, included a funded Bush Kinder program. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling.

This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements.

Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces – with sandpits, mud pits, cubby house, water trough, compost bins, vege patch, worm farm, undercover verandah, swings and lots of shade. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.

We have a qualified cook who cooks fresh, healthy and nutritious meals for the children each day. The centre provides all meals during the day, including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. We also provide nappies and sunscreen.

A major focus for our centre is how working with the broader community can help us enrich the children’s learning experience. Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society.

Come in and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind! We would love the chance to show you around.
