Goodstart Early Learning Rowville - Stud Road

We've had either one or both our two youngest attending for the last few years and, as many others have said, I could not recommend this centre highly enough.<br><br>The staff have all been exceptional, consistently going above and beyond to create a safe, warm, and nurturing environment for the kids.<br><br>The rooms and outdoor areas are spacious and well thought out, with a good mix of communal areas and quieter spaces – suited for both the outgoing and more introverted kiddos.<br><br>The variety and quality of the food offered on the menus is actually quite impressive, and the kids always seem to love it. And there always seems to be a good amount of fresh fruit being served for snacks too! Hygiene standards are always on point (both food handling and the environment itself).<br><br>Having a neurodiverse child who typically would be quiet and reserved in these environments, it has been absolutely phenomenal to see the effort the entire team have put in to support him him to flourish with his language skills, his confidence, and his self-advocacy. I was previously concerned that him being quiet and placid (masking being overstimulated and anxious) would mean staff accept him as just being 'easy to manage'. But no, they genuinely make the effort to support the 'real' version of himself shine through, even though it is more effort for them.<br><br>You can tell everyone is there for the same purpose – supporting these little humans to the best of their ability, and makes it so much easier to drop off the kids knowing their best interests will truly be taken care of. So much love and appreciation for this centre and its staff!<br><br>PS: Special shout out for Pam in the office for taking the time out each morning we are there to greet the kids and let them practice their conversational skills with you, and for everything else you do to support our family! You're an absolute legend.
