The team at Goodstart Hendra have nurtured my two children and been the best daycare I could have sent them to. They genuinely care about the little people in their care and connect so well with parents, keep us up to date with what is happening. They feel more like family than strangers.

Families are encouraged to be actively involved, and we maintain close communication through our Storypark platform, family nights, and newsletters, ensuring we tailor programs to each child’s needs.
Outside, we have three play areas with sandpits, grass spaces, and a blend of natural and manmade equipment. We also provide fresh, nutritious meals prepared by our qualified cook, with input from families and educators.

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.

we entrusted this team with the care of our two girls and couldn't be happier. i would suggest anyone looking for a great early learning centre to consider these guys. sad to leave the community as our girls move onto prep.

We have been a Goodstart Hendra Family for over 6 years. Both of our daughters have been at the centre since they were 6 months old and our youngest is about to graduate Kindy. The centre is clean, cosy and welcoming and the staff are incredible. They have become family over the past 6 years, they have been there for our girls and us alike through our wins and our losses. I can't believe we are about to say goodbye after this long, we will miss you all and forever cherish the way you have helped our girls learn and grow into the little ladies they are today. Thank you. xx
Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Maddyson. We are truly honoured to have been part of your family’s early learning journey for more than six years. It means so much to hear how supported your daughters have felt from their very first days in the nursery through to graduating Kindy. Our educators and staff take great pride in creating a caring, welcoming environment where children can grow with confidence, and it is incredibly special to know your family has felt that connection. We are grateful for your trust and your heartfelt words, and we wish your girls all the very best as they begin their next chapter.
