About Goodstart Early Learning Elwood

Goodstart Early Learning Elwood is located in a quiet residential area, ensuring stress-free drop-offs and pick-ups. We provide care for children from six weeks to school age, operating Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).

Our play-based curriculum follows the Early Years’ Learning Framework and is tailored to each age group, from Nursery to Kindergarten/Preschool. We create engaging programs based on children’s interests and strengths, preparing them for school. Storypark helps keep families connected with regular updates on their child’s progress and milestones.

Our outdoor spaces blend natural and built elements, featuring sandpits, a worm farm, a vegetable patch, a mud kitchen, a bike path, gardens, a stage, a cubbyhouse, and shaded areas. These spaces foster environmental awareness, sustainability, and imaginative play.

We provide freshly prepared, nutritious meals and snacks, accommodating special dietary requirements. Our experienced team runs a developmental program that nurtures each child’s growth in a safe, happy environment.

Community involvement is central to our approach, with centre visits, excursions, and local events enriching children’s learning and fostering a sense of belonging.

Goodstart truly feels like our extended family. Our son has been here since he was eight months old, and during that time, we have made so many lifelong friends.<br><br>We have watched him grow from strength to strength, and we’re incredibly grateful for the role his educators have played in nurturing his kindness, compassion and love of learning. The genuine care they show every child is truly special.<br><br>From the delicious food we never thought he would try—let alone love—to the wonderful things he learns and experiences each day, we have complete trust in the team’s dedication, encouragement and care.<br><br>We could not be more grateful to everyone at Goodstart Elwood for helping shape the happy, confident and caring little boy he is today.
