Goodstart Early Learning Point Cook - Shaftsbury Boulevard

Today I went in for a tour and what they showed me was a very friendly and inviting facility. The staff was amazing and extremely knowledgeable, I felt so at peace at Shaftesbury blvd GoodStart after touring other daycares today and not finding the home atmosphere with the nurturing staff. Today I found a safe, homey, and welcoming atmosphere with the most nurturing staff ever. I would highly recommend their services to everyone especially the mothers who are always so worried about your little ones. Trust me when I say I would never let anyone look after my child, but this centre immediately made me feel trust and care throughout. Thank you for such an amazing tour and the warm welcoming! I’m very excited for my child to start x

Avoid this daycare at all costs! If I could give zero stars, I would. Over the past two years, my daughter has endured repeated physical aggression from another child at this facility, including biting and hitting. Despite numerous complaints and conversations with the staff and management, they failed to take any meaningful action to ensure her safety. A daycare’s number one responsibility is to provide a safe environment for all children, and this place has completely failed in that regard. Their inability—or unwillingness—to properly handle a child who was repeatedly harming others is absolutely unacceptable. Instead of addressing the issue, they allowed it to continue, leaving my daughter vulnerable and afraid. If you value your child’s safety and well-being, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This facility has proven time and time again that they are either incapable or uninterested in protecting the children in their care.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our son has had at this daycare center. He joined last year, and from day one, he formed a strong bond with his educators. It's clear to see how much he enjoys going to daycare, and we truly appreciate how dedicated the staff is to his well-being. The educators have been attentive to our requests and have followed his routine, which has made the transition so smooth. Our son is thriving and learning so much, and it’s been a joy to watch. A special shout-out to Christy Lee and her team, who have been exceptional. Christy developed a close bond with our son almost immediately, even when he started part-time before moving to full-time care. We also deeply appreciate the open communication, honest feedback, and the genuine care the team provides. Recently, our son transitioned to Toddler 1, and we're confident that Maria and her team will continue providing the same high-quality care and attention. We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far and look forward to watching our son continue to grow in such a nurturing environment.

This centre is truly exceptional. From the moment you step through the front door, the Center Director Staci and Assistant Director Emma extend a warm welcome and the Admin Tanja is absolutely phenomenal, kind and welcoming. Together, they ensure that each family and child's developmental needs are met and accounts are satisfactory. Staci has set a standard of excellence for going above and beyond with her team. A huge shout out to the whole team at Shaftsbury – every educator and ECT is completely honest, approachable, kindhearted, straightforward, and caring. This centre offers an absolutely amazing program throughout the service. One of my favorite educational programs is their puppets for social and emotional learning. My son struggles with self-regulation and since they have introduced their puppets, his understanding has changed dramatically. My second favorite thing here is their language hour. This centre has a wonderful and unique range of educators from multiple cultures across the world, and Staci and her team use this in the best practice to teach children in each room multiple languages throughout their time here. But there is so much more that this centre does that there isn't enough pages to talk about. I would also like to give a huge shout-out to Priscilla, the cook. Every time I walk into the centre, the aroma is perfect. You can instantly smell the love within the food another amazing thing about Priscilla and Staci is they create an incredible opportunity to connect with each family and explore the menu together.
