About Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale
Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale is located in a residential area near schools, shops, and community facilities. Our 60-place centre is supported by passionate, highly qualified educators with Diploma accreditations and higher.
We offer a play-based curriculum aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, designed to cater to each child’s interests, needs, and strengths. From Nursery to Kindergarten, our engaging programs prepare children for a smooth transition to school. Using the Storypark platform, we maintain open communication with families, tracking milestones and keeping parents informed about their child’s development.
Our outdoor play areas blend natural and manmade features, including sandpits, mud pits, a cubby house, swings, and a vegetable patch. These thoughtfully designed spaces promote environmental awareness, sustainability, and imaginative exploration.
Our qualified on-site cook prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. We provide all meals, nappies, and sunscreen to make care more convenient for families.
Community engagement is a cornerstone of our centre. Excursions, on-site visits, and participation in local events teach children about being active and contributing members of society.
We invite you to visit us, meet our team, and see how Goodstart Parkdale can support your child’s learning and growth journey.
