Goodstart Early Learning Wantirna South - Cathies Lane

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Wantirna South - Cathies Lane

We're a warm and welcoming early learning centre on the Bunurong and Wurundjeri lands of the Kulin Nation.

Our service provides high-quality care and education, with separate rooms for nursery through kindergarten and two spacious yards.

Focusing on fun, discovery and belonging, we proudly offer a 'home away from home' where every child can thrive. Why not take a tour and see for yourself? You'll find us close to Ferntree Gully and Glen Waverley, Westfield Knox and Wantirna South Primary School, with connections to Eastlink and public transport, and plenty of onsite parking. We'd love to show you around.

We pride ourselves on truly knowing our children and families, thanks to our smaller centre size and high educator retention.

Our experienced team, including leaders with over a decade of service, builds strong community ties and lasting family relationships. We offer play dates, orientation support, and family events to help children settle in with confidence.

We have Hindi, Sinhalese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Italian, Gujarati, Telugu, Slovenian, Punjabi, and Tamil speakers among our educators. They help our multicultural families to feel at home while enriching the experience of all children.

Three early childhood teachers with bachelor's degrees lead our play-based kindergarten programming, based on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework.

Our curriculum is flexible around children's strengths and interests while helping them develop skills for school and life.

Whether you're looking for a nurturing nursery, a stimulating toddler environment, or a strong foundation for school, we're here to help.

Book a tour, drop in for a chat, or call us – our team can't wait to welcome your family.
