About Goodstart Early Learning Mont Albert
Goodstart Early Learning Mont Albert is a warm, family-focused centre located in a quiet residential area near schools, shops, and community facilities. Our mission is to create a homely environment where families and children feel welcomed, always greeted with a familiar, smiling face.
Our play-based educational programs, from Nursery to Kindergarten, reflect the Early Years Learning Framework. Children grow through sensory, play-based learning in colourful, stimulating spaces. Outdoors, two age-appropriate areas feature sandpits, veggie patches, a worm farm, and obstacle courses.
Our dedicated, passionate educators, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, hold formal qualifications and are trained in first aid and anaphylaxis. Our diverse, multicultural team speaks 13 different languages, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all families.
We offer a range of enriching activities, including sports, music, and movement programs. Our Kindergarten School Readiness program partners with local schools, and we host diverse incursions like Lunar New Year celebrations, Aboriginal Smoking Ceremonies, and visits from the police.
Healthy, nutritious meals are prepared on-site daily by our qualified cook, using fresh ingredients. Children also enjoy hands-on cooking experiences in their rooms.
We work closely with support agencies to ensure all children, including those with additional needs, thrive through active participation. Communication is key at our centre, with families kept up-to-date through our StoryPark platform, which allows parents easy access to their childās learning journey, centre events, and tailored learning opportunities.

My daughter has been attending the centre from when she was 12 months old until she started prep this year. The educators and staff have been absolutely amazing teaching and looking after our little girl. They always know how to handle tricky situations and to calm her down when needed. She loves attending and loves her educators so much, she and we, will all miss them once she starts school. Can't recommend them enough!
