At Goodstart Meadow Springs, children aged 6 weeks to 5 years are cared for in a safe and supportive environment. Diploma-trained educators offer quality care and learning experiences to support children's developmental needs. The programs are sensory and play-based, ensuring the children have colourful and stimulating surroundings while learning in their preschool years.
Outdoors there are three age-appropriate shaded spaces with play areas and equipment. Bike paths, sandpits, a climbing wall and a playground give the children plenty of opportunities to be challenged and develop social and motor skills while having fun.
Indoors the five rooms are well-equipped with activities and resources to enrich the children's learning experience. Imaginative play is encouraged, and access to arts and crafts, books, puzzles, and a family play area allows the children to interact and develop key skills.
The centre is located behind Meadow Springs Shopping Centre and close to the main Mandurah Road. With a bus stop a short walk away and ample onsite parking, pick up and drop off are a breeze. Why not book a tour of this culturally diverse and welcoming centre today?

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.

Goodstart elder drive has been like a second home for the past 3.5 years. My daughter started at the centre when she was 15mths old. It is an amazing centre with the most passionate, caring and supportive team of educators and staff. From fostering relationships with educators/staff and the little friendships created has reassured us that we choose the right place for our family. The team at Goodstart have built the foundation and have provided the tools necessary for my daughter to succeed in life. The positive impact that the educators and staff have left on my daughter has been second to none! We highly recommend this centre if your in the area or surrounding suburbs. You won’t be disappointed!

This centre feels like an extension of our family. You can tell that the staff genuinely like each other and enjoy their jobs. Director and admin are always so accommodating, welcoming, flexible and understanding of what life with small kids is like! My 9 month old at the time spent 2 weeks at a different centre where it just didn't feel right. The energy and atmosphere at Elder Dr was instantly better upon visiting for a tour and has stayed that way throughout his time there. I moved my eldest child to join him and it was definitely the right decision. Both of our sons have built brilliant friendships with peers and heartfelt connections with their educators. It is truly a wonderful community - such a hidden gem in the neighbourhood and I recommend at every chance I get.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! It means the world to us to hear that our centre feels like an extension of your family. Creating a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment is what we strive for, and knowing that both of your sons have built strong friendships and connections with our educators is so rewarding. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and the positive atmosphere at the centre - it’s wonderful to know that your decision to join us has been the right one for your family. Thank you for your trust, support, and recommendations - we love having your family as part of our community!
