About Goodstart Early Learning Wendouree
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Wendouree is centrally located on the main street of Ballarat, close to businesses, medical centres, high schools, and the scenic Lake Wendouree. Established in 1996, the centre offers care for children from six weeks to five years, including a funded kindergarten program for four- to five-year-olds.
Our smaller centre provides a highly personalized childcare experience. Many of our educators have been with us for over six years, fostering stable relationships with families. Our team includes a Bachelor-qualified Kindergarten teacher, six Diploma-qualified educators, and others pursuing further qualifications.
Inside, each room—from Nursery to Kindergarten—is designed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, offering sensory and play-based learning opportunities. Vibrant, stimulating environments encourage children’s growth and development, preparing them for school.
Our Storypark platform and regular family engagement events help maintain strong communication with parents, allowing us to tailor learning programs to each child’s needs and interests.
Outside, children enjoy a variety of play spaces, including sandpits, cubbyhouses, a stage, mud pits, a vegetable patch, and a worm farm, all promoting sustainability and imaginative play.
Our on-site cook prepares nutritious meals daily, ensuring children receive balanced, healthy food. We also emphasize community involvement, with excursions and events that teach children about active participation in society.
We invite you to visit our centre and discover how we can support your child’s early learning journey.
