We absolutely love this daycare 😍 The staff (Ashu, Geetu, Mary to be specific, all educators and staffs are very sweet overall) are so kind, patient, and genuinely care about the kids. My child feels happy, safe, and excited to go every day. The centre is clean, welcoming, and full of fun learning activities. I’m so grateful for the amazing team — they really feel like family! 💖🌈

About Goodstart Early Learning Point Cook - Lemongrass Circuit

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Point Cook Lemongrass Circuit is conveniently located just off the Boardwalk, only five minutes from the town centre and close to several primary schools. With over seven years of service, we provide a welcoming environment for children aged six weeks to five years.

Our centre fosters a sense of community, allowing children to move freely between rooms to connect with siblings and peers. We celebrate the diverse cultural backgrounds of our families through inclusive learning activities and a varied weekly food menu.

Building strong relationships with families is at the heart of what we do. We actively encourage family participation in our centre and host engaging events throughout the year, including Mother’s and Father’s Day afternoon teas, parent evenings, and our much-loved Christmas family picnic.

Our dedicated educators, many of whom have been with us for over five years, ensure quality education and continuity of care for all children. We also offer an external music program and a variety of enriching incursions throughout the year.

We provide all meals, including breakfast for early arrivals and a late afternoon snack, ensuring every child is well-fed and cared for.

We warmly invite prospective families to visit our centre and meet our friendly team!

Curriculum and programs

Curriculum and 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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

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.

Our daughter started with good start early when she was just one year old . We are very happy with the centre and staff. She always comes happy from the daycare and that makes us believe she is taken care well . The centre do plan a lot of fun activities , excursion (sometimes to zoo as well ) , special day celebration . As a parent another important thing is food which she likes it there as well, however this can be subjective to each kid.
