Goodstart Early Learning Melrose Park

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Melrose Park! Our childcare centre is located at 135 Edward Street in Melrose Park, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest in the community, we are dedicated to providing high-quality early learning experiences for children aged six weeks to school-aged.

At Goodstart Melrose Park, we understand the importance of supporting families in their childcare journey. That's why we offer an estimator tool to help you determine your eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy. Additionally, we invite you to explore our vacancies and consider joining our team, making Goodstart your next career move.

Our commitment to early learning extends beyond our centre's walls. Goodstart at Home is a platform designed to enrich and extend your child's learning at home through play. We believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable, and our experienced educators and teachers are dedicated to tailoring our curriculum to your child's individual interests.

Our centre features four learning spaces: Nursery, Toddler, Preschool, and a specifically designed Preschool program for children aged 3-5 years. Our evidence-based curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and is delivered by our degree-qualified Early Childhood Teacher. We focus on nurturing children's collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking skills to ensure they have the necessary foundations for school and life.

We take pride in our stimulating surroundings, which provide ample opportunities for sensory and play-based learning. Our age-appropriate outdoor play spaces and equipment encourage children to explore their surroundings, develop an understanding of sustainability, and respect for the environment. With sandpits, natural gardens, a play kitchen, and open spaces, there's plenty of room for sun-safe play.

At Goodstart Melrose Park, we believe in the power of partnerships. We collaborate with families and the broader community to enhance our learning program with real-life visits, incursions, and exciting trips to nearby locations. Art and music experiences are an integral part of our daily activities, allowing children to freely express their creativity.

Our dedicated teaching staff are passionate and highly trained, ensuring your child receives the best care and education possible. We offer a school readiness and transition to school program, following a child-centered, teacher-guided learning framework. Our holistic approach focuses on the overall development of your child.

To make your experience even more convenient, we provide access to Storypark, your child's online learning portfolio. Our onsite qualified cook prepares fresh and nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. Meals, nappies, wipes, cot linen, and sunscreen are provided at no extra charge.

We invite you to visit our centre and see for yourself how we can give your child the best start in life, providing you with peace of mind. Join our Facebook community to stay connected with our centre's happenings and gain expert information on parenting and early childhood.

As the Centre Director, I, Caddie, hold a Diploma in Children's Services and have been working in the early learning sector for almost 15 years, with the last 10 years at Goodstart Melrose Park. I understand the trust families place in us when they entrust their children to our care. It is my belief that children thrive in a nurturing, warm, and respectful environment where they can learn, have fun, and be themselves.

Plenty of off-street parking is available, and we kindly request that if you are leaving your car at the centre for the day, you park on Edward Street to ensure the safety of all children entering and exiting the centre throughout the day. We are conveniently located within walking distance of Castle Plaza Shopping Complex in Edwardstown.

Goodstart Early Learning is Australia's largest early learning provider and a proud not-for-profit organization. We have been recognized as a Child Safe Organisation and are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all children in our care.

We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Custodians across Australia and recognize the continued cultural and spiritual connection of First Nations peoples to the land, sky, and waterways. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Join us at Goodstart Early Learning Melrose Park, where we strive to provide the best early learning experiences for your child and support families in their childcare journey.
