About Goodstart Early Learning Payneham
At Goodstart Payneham, we prioritise building trusting relationships with families and delivering high-quality care and education. Each of our four rooms offers an educational curriculum tailored to childrenās individual interests, with a focus on intentional teaching. Daily activities include physical development, music, movement, sustainability, and cultural awareness.
Our Kindy room provides a government-funded Universal Access program that supports excursions and new experiences. Additionally, we offer a soccer program to develop physical skills and a dance class, "Happy Feet," that children love. The centreās daily menu is freshly prepared by our on-site cook, featuring five meals from breakfast to late snack. Children also participate in cooking classes, exploring a variety of cultural recipes.
We support breastfeeding families with a dedicated area in our cot room and welcome parents to return throughout the day to feed their child. Outdoors, our spacious play areas encourage exploration, physical activity, and environmental awareness through natural resources and open-ended play opportunities.
Many of our educators have been with us for over a decade, providing children with familiar faces and fostering lasting connections. With secure facilities, personalised learning, and a robust school readiness program, we aim to make every childās experience enriching and supportive.

We cannot speak highly enough of the nurturing, care and support provided to our children by the staff and educators at Goodstart Payneham. The centre is led by a fantastic leadership team who are warm, accommodating and excellent with their communication. Many of the staff have been there for years which speaks to the excellent culture within the centre which filters down from leadership to educators and staff to the children. We were particularly impressed with the "family feel" that we experienced and continue to experience through the Goodstart Payneham community. The educators run an excellent program and our children have learned so much during their days at the centre. They love attending and have formed such strong connections with both peers and staff members alike. If you're looking for a warm, nurturing, supportive ELC with a strong community feel, you can certainly trust Jess and her team at Goodstart Payneham!
