I cannot recommend this childcare centre more highly – it’s truly the best! My daughter had been to three other centres before we found Goodstart Somerton Park, and the difference is incredible. The educators are so supportive across all rooms – nursery, toddler, and pre-kindy. They always share their observations, communicate any changes, and are approachable whenever we have concerns. When my daughter was two, she suffered from recurrent infected eczema, and her educators in Toddler 1 (Ima, Nathan, and Rosie) cared for her with such kindness and attention. Now my son is in the same room, and his educators (Ima, Nathan, and Payal) have been just as wonderful. A special mention also goes to Dale in admin – the best I’ve ever dealt with! She’s always quick to answer questions and greets us with the biggest smile every single time. We’re so grateful to the entire Goodstart Somerton Park team – they are simply the best!

Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool programs:
The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.
As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.
The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress.
The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.
The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.
Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.
Anna Burton
Hi there, my name is Anna Burton and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Somerton Park. I have been passionate about nurturing and supporting young children ever since I was one myself. It has always been a no brainer that I would end up working to support young children. I have been working with the early years sector for 15 years and fortunate to have been with Goodstart Early Learning for 4 years. During this time I have been fortunate to gain my qualifications, having had the opportunity to work across many roles, within all age groups, creating 100s of wonderful connections and feeling blessed for each and every one!
I pride myself on having a deep respect for all children and families in my care. Building relationships with the children, ensuring their time is spent in our care feeling safe and happy, with calm minds open to learning. I believe to support children’s happiness is through developing relationships with their families also. Getting to know the families, building trust and connections have all been achievable goals for me, and through being a Centre Director I will continually strive to provide families with positive outcomes and support them in their care journey.
Through my values I strive to support my team to continually increase their capabilities, helping them achieve their goals and encouraging their development. I believe in guiding my team to slow down their care rituals, trust their knowledge, and appreciate, guide, support and respect children and families.
I am so lucky my job fills my nurturing cup as well as my home life. Away from the centre I raise my 3 young children, which I feel supports families in my care as I can see things from a parent perspective. I also have a forever growing hobby farm up in the Adelaide Hills, a pig, a pony, 4 sheep, many chickens, guinea pigs and I have been known in the past to bring my pets to show the children.
I have my Certificate 2 in basic Auslan, after my Tafe SA course I am capable of giving the deaf community an opportunity to come in for a centre tour and provide the information they need.
I look forward to meeting our future families, and supporting them through their initial transition. What an honour, my team and I will give them a wonderful start to their learning journey!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Goodstart. From day one, the educators made Ashton feel safe, seen, and supported. It’s clear how much care and effort goes into each day, from the engaging activities to the genuine relationships built with the children. Ashton has grown so much socially and emotionally during his time here, and I’m incredibly grateful to the team for creating such a nurturing environment. Thank you to everyone who played a part in his journey, it’s been such a beautiful start to his early learning years.
Thank you, Heidi. It’s so lovely to hear how supported and settled Ashton has felt from day one. We're so pleased the team has played a meaningful role in his growth and early learning journey. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
