Goodstart Early Learning Mawson Lakes - Elder Drive

Goodstart elder drive has been like a second home for the past 3.5 years. My daughter started at the centre when she was 15mths old. It is an amazing centre with the most passionate, caring and supportive team of educators and staff. From fostering relationships with educators/staff and the little friendships created has reassured us that we choose the right place for our family. The team at Goodstart have built the foundation and have provided the tools necessary for my daughter to succeed in life. The positive impact that the educators and staff have left on my daughter has been second to none! We highly recommend this centre if your in the area or surrounding suburbs. You won’t be disappointed!

This centre feels like an extension of our family. You can tell that the staff genuinely like each other and enjoy their jobs. Director and admin are always so accommodating, welcoming, flexible and understanding of what life with small kids is like! My 9 month old at the time spent 2 weeks at a different centre where it just didn't feel right. The energy and atmosphere at Elder Dr was instantly better upon visiting for a tour and has stayed that way throughout his time there. I moved my eldest child to join him and it was definitely the right decision. Both of our sons have built brilliant friendships with peers and heartfelt connections with their educators. It is truly a wonderful community - such a hidden gem in the neighbourhood and I recommend at every chance I get.

Our girls have both attended this centre since they were 9 & 10 months old. The centre made the transition to returning to work much easier knowing our girls were at a place where they’re happy, included and well cared for. The staff are welcoming, friendly and nurturing. The rooms are fun, colourful, personal and entertaining with lots of fun things for the kids to engage in. Lunch and snacks provided is an added bonus! Our eldest has just turned 5 so we have experienced all the rooms and one off the best parts across all the rooms has been watching the girls run into their educators arms each morning for a cuddle, making drop off easier for both mum/dad and kids. Although we’re moving onto our next adventure we will take with us fond memories of friends, staff and everything we have learned along the way. Thank you to all the amazing staff who have made our experience such a positive one. Shout out to Linda and Felicia- we’re sad we won’t be in your class this year! Thank you for being so kind and passionate about what you do, it doesn’t go unnoticed.
