Goodstart Early Learning New Gisborne

Welcome to Goodstart New Gisborne! Nestled on over four acres of lush land just off the Calder Freeway, we offer a warm, community-focused early learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, play, and connect with nature every day.  

Located on Wurundjeri Country and surrounded by the beauty of Mount Macedon and Hanging Rock, our centre provides a calm, rural atmosphere while still being close to Melbourne’s CBD and regional hubs.  

Families value our longstanding educators, strong community ties, and the sense of belonging that defines our centre. 

Discover the difference firsthand – take a tour. We'd love to show you around. 

What makes Goodstart New Gisborne special:

• Expansive outdoor spaces set across more than four acres, including climbing trees, natural play areas and shaded yards for all age groups
• Longstanding, highly qualified educators – including five teachers – who have been part of our centre community for up to 18 years
• Regular excursions including bush walks, library visits, and trips to Werribee Zoo, the aquarium, Mount Macedon and Hanging Rock
• Strong community ties through visits to Warrina Aged Care and participation in the local ANZAC Day service at the Gisborne cenotaph
• Dedicated programs that promote environmental awareness and sustainability through gardening, outdoor exploration and animal encounters
• Strong partnerships with local schools, supporting smooth transitions from kindergarten into primary education
• Wholesome, home-cooked meals prepared fresh daily by our on-site cook, catering for a variety of dietary needs
• A welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere where every child is encouraged to get messy, explore and simply be a child.

We believe learning happens everywhere – whether it’s discovering bugs in the garden, baking together in the kitchen, or sharing stories with our friends at the nearby aged care home.  

Our educators take the time to build genuine, lasting relationships with each child and family, ensuring every learning experience is meaningful and tailored to individual needs. 

We have qualified teachers leading our play-based kindergarten, pre-kinder and toddler programs, ensuring every child benefits from expert early education.  

Each room, from nursery to kindergarten, is thoughtfully designed around the Early Years Learning Framework, offering rich sensory and play-based experiences that nurture growth and curiosity.  

As part of the national Goodstart network, we also draw on specialist expertise and resources to provide the best possible outcomes for every child. 

We invite you to see the difference for yourself – come and meet our passionate team, explore our beautiful outdoor environments, and learn how we can support your child’s early learning journey.
