I recommend Goodstart Early Learning highly. My little one has blossomed so much since moving him there early last year. It takes so much stress off me knowing that he is happily going to daycare and is being well cared for by the wonderful educators. Kerri the director is also very welcoming

At Goodstart Hoppers Crossing Deloraine Drive, we believe the early years of life play a crucial role in shaping who a child will become. We recognise that each child is unique and learns at their own pace, and our educators ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience success in their learning journey.
We’ve created a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, and we recognise the importance of building a strong link between home and our childcare centre. Our educators work closely with both children and their families to incorporate an educational programme that is developmentally stimulating, challenging, and engaging, while always ensuring a safe environment.
Our service caters for children aged from six weeks to five years. The majority of our educators and families come from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Indian, Asian, and American heritages. Many of our educators are bilingual, which allows us to explore and learn about different cultures and languages with the children.
We also offer two years of kinder, providing a continuous, high-quality early learning experience where children can play, make friends, and get ready for school in a supportive environment.
Our progressive mealtimes give children the choice of when they are ready to eat. All meals are prepared on-site by our qualified cook, using fresh, nutritious ingredients and rotated on a four-week menu.
We invite you to visit our centre, meet our friendly team, and see for yourself how we can support your child’s early learning and development.

State Government Approved Programs
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.

Your kind words warm our hearts, and we appreciate your wonderful review.

My son has been attending this centre since last year. The centre is clean, with good facilities, and the staff are attentive and caring to the children and families alike. Kerrie, centre director, is very personable and runs the plans like clockwork. Educator Jess is great with all the kids, patient, kind, fun. Everything you want in a local daycare.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with us.
