Goodstart Early Learning Cowandilla
About the Business
Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Cowandilla! Located at 240-242 Sir Donald Bradman Drive in Cowandilla, Australia, our establishment is a point of interest and school dedicated to providing high-quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.
Our newly constructed centre opened in 2020 and features six separate, naturally inspired learning spaces. Each space has direct access to our beautifully landscaped outdoor environment, allowing children to freely move between indoor and outdoor activities. Our environments have been specifically designed to engage, challenge, and excite children throughout their developmental stages.
At Goodstart Cowandilla, we believe in creating a warm and welcoming community-focused centre. Our passionate and highly trained teaching staff use the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children's learning. We are committed to nurturing and stimulating early learning environments that support the holistic development of each child.
Our state-of-the-art facilities provide exceptional learning environments, and our outdoor dining hub offers a dedicated space for meals. With an onsite kitchen and child-height servery, our qualified cook prepares fresh and nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. We also provide meals, nappies, wipes, cot linen, and sunscreen at no extra charge.
To enhance your child's learning experience, we offer access to Storypark, an online learning portfolio that allows you to stay connected and engaged in your child's progress. Our centre also offers a school readiness and transition to school program, ensuring your child is prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
We understand that the cost of childcare can be a concern, which is why we encourage you to use our estimator tool to find out how much Child Care Subsidy you may be eligible for.

Reviews
"We are so happy with the center. At first I was concerned as my son who was 16 months at the time was still breastfeeding, and I was the only person looking after him. I thought it was going to be very hard but it wasn't. Educators made us feel both so welcome! The first couple of weeks were challenging for both of us, but then he settled in so we'll! He loves to come to childcare and greet Kevin the turtle and Pretzel the fish. He's very happy as he knows he's going to have so much fun. Admin staff are very helpful as well and staff in general are very kind. Very grateful to leave my child in a place where he's safe, he's well looked after, he enjoys and has so much fun!"
"Goodstart Cowandilla has been nothing but exceptional for the care of my two girls. The staff are always so friendly hard-working and helpful. Thank you so much for making my girls feel so happy."
"I'm always so impressed by the amazing array of activities provided by the amazing educators at Goodstart Cowandilla. We were uncertain about putting our child in at such a young age, but the educators at this center have truly gone above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, and help our son develop. I don't hesitate to recommend this center to other parents. They are highly inclusive, flexible and open minded, and provide such an essential service to our family. Thanks Goodstart Cowandilla!"
"Cowandilla Goodstart has become a second home for us. Our girl started at 10 months and is now 3 & 1/2 years old. They have been amazing with the growing and changing development over the years. We will be sad to say goodbye when our girl starts school. Would definitely recommend to any parents looking for a childcare for their child!"
"Very professional and friendly staffs, and nice environment inside and outside the classroom. They shared the story about your child’s day at the center and what food they will eat every day and they all look delicious. They have a key educator who know my daughter well and everyday when we pick her up they let us know my daughter’s performs during the day. My daughter loves going to the center. Highly recommend!"
