My son has been attending the Pascoe Vale East Centre for about 3 months now, and he absolutely loves it! He is learning so much every day - from fun science experiments to new words and good manners. We have noticed a big improvement in his communication, understanding and independence - he now washes his hands, helps tidy up, and enjoys learning new things. The staff are very patient, knowledgeable, and caring. A special thank you to Mousumi, centre director who always listens and helps reslove any questions, and to Pam, Lana and Emily and all the wonderful educators for their warmth and dedication. We are very happy to have found such a nurturing environment for our son.

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.
Emily Wai
My name is Emily and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Pascoe Vale Cumberland Road East.
Throughout my Early Childhood Education and Care journey I have worked in a range of educational settings including long day care, kindergartens and after school hours care. Through this I have gained valuable insights into the strengths and complexities of each pedagogical practices and learning environment, and aim to use this knowledge and experience in my current practice as Centre Director.
I am extremely passionate about my chosen profession and very proud to be a part of this company. I highly believe in the recognition of the uniqueness of each child and family and the needs for children to develop an understanding and respect for self and others in the community. As a team, we valued our relationship with children and family, and that these relationships are central to everything that we do.
At Goodstart Pascoe Vale Cumberland Road East, our vision for children is “Empower each child to be what they dream to be”
Throughout my journey at the centre, I worked as a teacher, an educational leader, as well as the assistant director. This had helped me to develop a close bonding with the children, families, the team, and an in depth knowledge of the wider community community.

We had our son there for 4 years and youngest a year. Carers and staff are wonderful and staff turn over rates were low. However in August this year how management dealt with a forced 2month + closing of the Pascoe vale Centre, lead to us deciding to leave Goodstart PV. We were offered for our child to attend another Goodstart in another suburb if we let management know ASAP however I was given no guarantee of keeping our child with their key educators. The communication around the closing period was unclear and honestly a bit cold and dismissive. I was told to consider taking leave to look after my children for the period, or ask friends for help. But the final straw that made us leave was how the management treated their wonderful educators, with them also receiving limited communication and witnessing staff’s stress over their own job security from this whole debacle. As a result, most of the educators our children had built strong rapport with have resigned. It’s all very sad because prior to this, it was 5/5 Centre.

The staff in the rooms are absolutely fantastic and for the last 4 years, i highly recommended the center. However a recent change in management has been catastrophic with absolute disregard for kids well-being and parent communication. Management has overtly lied, gaslight complaints and i have observed staff being disrespected by management. The staff turnover has been unusually high lately. Very sad to see
