About Goodstart Early Learning Mona Vale
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Mona Vale is nestled beneath native gum trees in a peaceful residential area, close to schools, shops, and transport links. Our centre features spacious indoor areas that encourage self-led play, decision-making, and social interactions. These open onto our beautiful outdoor spaces, fostering seamless indoor-outdoor exploration throughout the day.
Our curriculum follows the Early Years’ Learning Framework, tailored to each child's individual needs and interests. We place a strong emphasis on building capable and confident learners, encouraging children to explore nature in a safe but stimulating environment with natural elements like logs, tyres, and water play. Messy play and sensory experiences are embraced to deepen their connection with the world around them.
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. From the moment you join us, we work with families to provide personalised care, believing that parents are a child’s first and best teacher. We foster secure attachments through a key educator approach, promoting the foundations of lifelong partnerships.
We keep families engaged through Storypark, regular family events, and newsletters. This allows us to maintain open communication and deliver a learning programme that reflects each child's unique strengths and cultural diversity.
Our on-site cook prepares healthy, nutritious meals every day, and we cater to allergies and special dietary needs.

Goodstart Mona Vale has been the best community for loving admin staff(Kate) wonderful director(Kylie) and the best kindy teachers (Jessie, Rekha, Claudia). Good start Mona Vale is a great centre because Kate cares about each and every parent and remember you by name. She has even called to check in after my child got a splinter.You feel seen and heard with the admin staff not just the teachers. Having the friendly and personable approach makes the centre a brilliant place to care for your children. Kylie the director of the centre is just as involved with the parents and children as she is with bettering the centre. I love the Kylie's dedication to improvement of relationship between parents and staff.

We have our two of our three kids in Goodstart and they love it. Our eldest finished up last year after 4 years in Goodstart and is flying in primary school. The educators are excellent. We get Story park updates daily and I can't believe how many fun activities they can cram into a day. The preschoolers even been doing excursions to the library and old folks home which our son has been loving. Our daughter in the nursery is so easy to drop off because she loves being handed over for a cuddle with the educators looking after her. They've even just done up outdoor play area which is a perfect space to run around mad with their friends. We're really happy with the place, five stars.
Response from the owner13 days agoThank you so much for your kind words, Fintan! It’s been a pleasure supporting your family, and we’re so happy to hear how well your eldest has transitioned to primary school. Knowing your little ones feel comfortable, engaged, and excited to come in each day truly means a lot. We appreciate your trust and are so glad to be part of your children’s early years at Goodstart Mona Vale.

My son is absolutely flourishing being at Goodstart Mona Vale, he is learning so much and constantly coming home and telling us all about his day, it's so lovely for us to see how happy he is. He is very excited about all of the construction crew doing the renovation of the garden, it's currently a real life bob the builder. x

In response to Michelle and Jamie, the last two '1 star' reviews. From what I witnessed, the response from the current staff when dealing with this family (and yes, the two 1 star reviews are married). They were met with response as soon as possible (despite their reports), attempted behavioural plans (despite the reaction of the father, even going so far as to refuse terms such as, 'neurodiverse' assuming it was about his child ~which says a lot ~ when it was actually in reference to the employee who mentioned and their children, a lot of communication which has led to abuse from said father to employees in front of other staff and CHILDREN!! Verbal abuse and intimidation towards staff has personally been witnessed in regards to the father who left the review. Also, Jamie (the father) words were, "do you think we would be here, if we had any other option" when trying to come up with plans for his child so, the mention or even hint of them having experience at other places is odd? All of this because they put their heads in the sand and refuse to open their minds to the fact that their child could possibly be neurodiverse or need behavioural support (God forbid!). Monkey see, monkey do. My child had a great experience.
