We’ve had a very positive experience with Pound Road Early Learning, since our son started attending since he was seven months old. As a first-time parent navigating early childhood education, I was looking for a service with qualified, attentive staff and a program that would support both social and academic development—and Pound Road has delivered on all fronts. This year he is attending the 4-year Kindergarten at Pound Road. The teachers are very Compassionate, professional, and genuinely attentive and engaged with the children. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and provide a nurturing environment that has helped our son settle in with confidence. The curriculum is structured yet playful, with a strong focus on early learning and school readiness. It strikes a great balance between academics and hands-on activities, which keeps the children both stimulated and happy. Overall, I’m very impressed with the quality of care and education at Pound Road. I would highly recommend the kindergarten programme to other parents looking for a supportive and enriching start to their child’s early learning journey and school readiness.

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.
Christine Rosewall
Hello, my name is Christine, and I am the Centre Director at Narre Warren - Pound Road South.
I have been with Goodstart for the past 5 years and prior to Goodstart I previously managed a play center in Bayside, this is when I knew I wanted to continue to work with children. I began as a support educator with Goodstart and then stepped up into different roles over the last few years as a, Key Educator, Team Leader, Safety Champion, Assistant Director and lastly Center Director.
I am in my final stages of studying my Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management.
As a mother I strongly believe all children should feel safe, supported, and always respected. Providing a warm secure environment for all children to thrive and grow socially, emotionally, and physically is important to us as a team. Making strong connections with children, families and educators is something that I seek out and enjoy about my role. We as a center endeavor to work with each family individually to create a quality learning experience for each child.
On weekends and time away from the center I enjoy spending time with family, my adorable fur babies, traveling, upcycling, and gardening.
We look forward to meeting you and your family and discussing your child/ren’s learning goals.

We have been with Good start brand for about 8 years now. We couldn’t be happier with the exceptional care provided at this childcare centre. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed by an atmosphere that’s both professional and incredibly warm. The staff are not only qualified and attentive but genuinely easygoing and approachable, making every interaction feel personal and reassuring. What truly sets this place apart is their superb customer service—they consistently go above and beyond to communicate clearly, accommodate our needs, and make each day smooth for both parents and kids. Our child has blossomed under their nurturing guidance, and we’re grateful for the consistent support and positivity. Highly recommended for any parent seeking peace of mind and a team that treats your child as one of their own.
