Goodstart Early Learning McDowall

Located on Turrbal land, Goodstart McDowall offers a nurturing early learning environment where children feel safe, supported and inspired to explore. Our experienced, longstanding team builds strong relationships with children and families, creating a true sense of belonging from nursery to kindergarten.

What makes our centre special:

• Longstanding educators, with some supporting families for up to 21 years  
• Expansive natural outdoor spaces for exploration and nature-based play  
• Strong Kindergarten program led by Bachelor-qualified teachers  
• Enriching experiences including swimming lessons and dental visits  
• Multicultural, inclusive community that celebrates diversity  
• Strong partnerships with local schools, Woolworths and community services  
• Convenient location close to schools, shops and local amenities  

Each day, children engage in play-based learning guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, supporting their confidence, independence and overall development. Our programs are designed to nurture the whole child – socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically.

Our outdoor environments provide opportunities for children to explore, take risks and connect with nature, supporting both wellbeing and growth.

Through strong community connections, children experience learning beyond the classroom, building confidence and a sense of belonging in the world around them.

With a consistent and caring team, every child is known, valued and supported in their unique learning journey.

Families often tell us it is our people, outdoor spaces and strong community connections that make our centre feel like a second home.
