Our two boys have been attending Richmond Goodstart the past 12 months. The entire staff are so caring and attentive; on and beyond what we’ve ever experienced elsewhere (our eldest has attended a few centres due to us moving a few times so can spot a good centre over a bad one). We are so grateful we found this centre and feel so lucky we as parents can go to work and have confidence our kids are safe and nurtured in a beautiful environment. Thank you Felicity, we really appreciate everything you and the team have done for our family.

We offer long daycare and kindergarten programs and our play-based learning programs are designed to promote:

  • A child’s natural sense of enquiry

These are all critical skills needed for school and life. Quality play-based learning gives children hands-on exploration of the world around them.

How does Goodstart Richmond promote educator relationships?
Our Key educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

What’s Goodstart Richmond's early education philosophy?
We believe every child holds the right to develop at their own pace physically and cognitively. I believe to achieve this adequately you need to provide a fun happy and loving environment where every single child feels comfortable and supported.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Our relationship with you and your family
Our StoryPark platform, as well as regular family nights, centre events and both emailed and printed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor our centres program to each child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.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.

The stuff that could start early earning Richmond could not have been more supportive. Our two boys loved going there and learning through play. Good food and snacks, willingness to collaborate with allied health workers and a great community

Response from the owner 23 Sep 2025

Thank you, Daniel, for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased to hear that your boys enjoyed their time at our Richmond centre and felt supported in their learning through play. It’s wonderful that you valued the nutritious food, our collaboration with allied health workers, and the sense of community. We’re grateful for your recommendation and for being part of your family’s early learning journey!
