Goodstart Early Learning Bendigo - McIvor Road

Goodstart Early Learning Bendigo is centrally located with convenient access to public transport, schools, and local businesses, including onsite parking for smooth drop-offs and pick-ups. Our dedicated team of educators works closely with children, their families, and the local community, fostering strong partnerships to support continuity of care and development.

We provide play-based, educational programs that align with the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards. From Nursery to Kindergarten, our curriculum emphasises sensory and play-based learning to nurture individuality and growth.

Our integrated indoor and outdoor environments promote free-flowing play, featuring sandpits, veggie patches, garden beds, dirt play areas, and shaded spaces. These areas encourage exploration and a deeper understanding of sustainability and the environment.

We maintain open and clear communication with families through our Storypark platform and regular community events. This helps us tailor our programs to each child’s unique needs and interests while celebrating the cultural diversity within our centre.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of our centre’s philosophy. We collaborate with organisations such as the Bendigo Council, Communities for Children, and the Bendigo and District Aboriginal Co-operative, among others. Celebrations of events like NAIDOC Week and ANZAC Day enrich the children’s learning experience.

Our centre operates from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday, offering a varied menu prepared by our cook, using fresh, locally sourced produce.

We look forward to welcoming you and supporting your child through these vital early years.
