Wonderful team of educators who are so nurturing of children and receptive to parents. The team have helped our little one come out of her shell this year (she even asks to go to childcare if we keep her home on a day that she would normally be there) which has been amazing to see. Thanks so much to the whole team for everything you do!

About Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale

Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale is located in a residential area near schools, shops, and community facilities. Our 60-place centre is supported by passionate, highly qualified educators with Diploma accreditations and higher.

We offer a play-based curriculum aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, designed to cater to each child’s interests, needs, and strengths. From Nursery to Kindergarten, our engaging programs prepare children for a smooth transition to school. Using the Storypark platform, we maintain open communication with families, tracking milestones and keeping parents informed about their child’s development.

Our outdoor play areas blend natural and manmade features, including sandpits, mud pits, a cubby house, swings, and a vegetable patch. These thoughtfully designed spaces promote environmental awareness, sustainability, and imaginative exploration.

Our qualified on-site cook prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. We provide all meals, nappies, and sunscreen to make care more convenient for families.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of our centre. Excursions, on-site visits, and participation in local events teach children about being active and contributing members of society.

We invite you to visit us, meet our team, and see how Goodstart Parkdale can support your child’s learning and growth journey.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

We believe in providing a nurturing and supportive environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential. Our philosophy is centered around the following principles:

  1. Child-Centered Approach: We recognize that each child is unique, with their own interests, abilities, and learning styles. Our programs are designed to cater to the individual needs of each child, fostering their holistic development – socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.
  2. Play-Based Learning: We believe that play is the cornerstone of children's learning. Through play, children explore, experiment, and make sense of the world around them. Our play-based curriculum encourages creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills.
  3. Respect and Inclusion: We value diversity and respect the rights, cultures, and backgrounds of all children and families in our community. Our center provides an inclusive environment where every child feels welcomed, valued, and supported.
  4. Partnership with Families: We recognize the importance of building strong partnerships with families to support children's learning and development. We encourage open communication, collaboration, and involvement in the life of our center.
  5. Qualified and Caring Educators: Our team of dedicated educators are committed to providing high-quality care and education. They undergo continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest research and best practices in early childhood education.
  6. Safe and Secure Environment: The safety and well-being of children are our top priorities. Our center maintains high standards of hygiene, safety, and cleanliness to ensure a secure environment where children can explore and learn with confidence.
  7. Sustainability and Environmental Awareness: We promote environmental sustainability and teach children to respect and care for the natural world. Our center engages in eco-friendly practices and activities that foster an appreciation for nature and a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
  8. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to ongoing reflection and evaluation to continuously improve our practices and programs. Feedback from children, families, and educators is valued and used to inform our decision-making process.

By embracing these principles, we strive to create a nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive learning community where every child can flourish and succeed.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is wonderful to hear how supported your child has felt and how much confidence she has gained during her time with us. Our educators are dedicated to creating welcoming, nurturing environments where children can feel safe to learn, explore, and form meaningful connections, so your feedback means a lot. We are delighted she enjoys her days with us and feels excited to come in. Thank you for your trust and kind words.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Goodstart Parkdale. Since our son started only a few months ago, the transformation in his emotional and social development has been truly significant. The moment you step through the doors, you feel a welcoming and warm culture. This is a direct reflection of the outstanding leadership of Centre Director Nafisa, who sets a wonderful, positive tone for the entire centre. What truly sets Goodstart Parkdale apart is the expertise and dedication of their staff. Our son's educators, Dimpi and Jade, are exceptional: they don't just supervise; they are emotionally attuned and actively foster learning. We've noticed a marked improvement in our son's ability to express himself, share, and navigate social situations with confidence. We put this down to their care and guidance. If you are looking for a centre that prioritises a nurturing environment while employing highly skilled educators, look no further. Goodstart Parkdale is an absolute asset to the community and we highly recommend them!

Response from the owner 10 Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Max. We are delighted to hear how positively your son has settled in and how much his social and emotional confidence has grown in such a short time. Creating a warm, welcoming environment supported by skilled and caring educators and staff is at the heart of what we do. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation and trust in our centre.
