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.

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.

The most wonderful centre. After touring many in the area, we ended up switching to this centre because this was the only one where our child was noticeably comfortable. The caretakers are warm, nurturing, supportive and respectful. Management is proactive and the communication was always excellent. I truly felt very lucky and relieved to have been able to send our child here and trust they were in good hands. I can’t say enough good things about the women that work here, they really foster an environment for kids to grow and thrive.

It's hard to believe it's almost been a year since my daughter started here. She began in the babies' room, and like many parents, those first drop-offs were emotional. She would cry when I left, but the educators, especially Candice and Jenny, were so kind, patient, and reassuring. They made me feel confident that she was in the best hands, and with time, she settled in beautifully.<br><br>Fast forward to today, and my daughter absolutely thrives at daycare. She wakes up excited to go, loves her friends, chats non-stop, and is so happy in the toddler room. Some afternoons she doesn't even want to come home because she's having so much fun!<br><br>One thing I truly appreciate is seeing the same familiar educators every day. The consistency has made such a positive difference, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and build meaningful relationships with them.<br><br>Thank you to every educator and staff member for the love, care, patience, and dedication you've shown my daughter over the past year. Knowing she is safe, happy, and loved while I'm away is the greatest comfort a parent could ask for. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do and couldn't have chosen a better daycare for our little girl.

Today is our daughter’s last day at Goodstart Parkdale and we are overwhelmed with gratitude to the wonderful educators and managers who supported her during her eight months here - thank you. We are sad that it is time for us to say goodbye. Our daughter has found a place where she belongs, where she is safe and supported to be herself. We feel very lucky to have found Goodstart Parkdale and that our girl had the chance to be part of it. Thank you Nafisa and team.

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!

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!
