Choosing a childcare can be an incredibly nerve-wracking experience for any parent — and I was no exception. The thought of entrusting someone else with the care of my child kept me up at night, with parent's guilt weighing heavily on me every day.
We toured at least six different centres, and Goodstart at Murrindal Drive Rowville stood out clearly above the rest. From the moment we stepped in for the tour, I noticed children joyfully engaged in play, surrounded by a truly enriching and thoughtfully designed environment. The way they interacted with the educators — as naturally and comfortably as they would with family — immediately put me at ease.
Goodstart at Murrindal Drive didn’t feel like a place to simply ‘drop off’ my child — it felt like a place where she would grow, learn, and be genuinely cared for. Every space, even the hallways, was filled with learning opportunities, creating a warm, welcoming, and stimulating atmosphere.
Now, two months into our journey with Goodstart, we couldn’t be happier. Communication from the educators has been outstanding — with daily app updates, photos, routines, and learning highlights that help us feel connected to our daughter’s day. I’ve also been especially impressed by the team’s professionalism. From the very beginning, orientation was handled with care — a thoughtfully prepared welcome pack and a well-planned onboarding process set the tone, and that same level of attention has continued ever since.
Special thanks for the center director Wei Wei, despite starting her role only recently, I feel so blessed having her to help me navigating through the transition period for my daughter. She has been extremely knowledgeable and patient in answering my seemingly endless questions with so much patience and empathy. She has handled a skeptical and sensitive new parent like me perfectly and reduced my stress level immediately. Therefore, knowing the center is under the leadership by someone like Wei Wei put me at ease.
Most importantly, our daughter has truly thrived. She now walks into the centre confidently, often straight into the arms of the educators — a beautiful sign of the trust and bond she’s built with them.
Also special shout out to Samina, Anoshi, and the entire Goodstart team at Murrindal Drive Rowville. You’ve made my transition from full-time dad to working parent so much easier. Each day, I leave knowing my daughter is safe, happy, and thriving in your care.
