Goodstart Early Learning Dapto

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Dapto, a premier establishment located at 17 Parkside Drive in Dapto, Australia. As a point of interest and school, we are dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education and care for children aged 0-5 years old.

At Goodstart Dapto, we understand the importance of early education in a child's life, which is why we offer a range of programs and activities designed to enrich and extend your child's learning. Our experienced and passionate educators create a safe and nurturing environment where children can feel a strong sense of belonging and freely express themselves through play.

Our Centre Director, Maddi Duncan, has been working in Early Childhood Education and care for 9 years. With a Bachelor of Education (0-5) from the University of New England, Maddi is dedicated to providing quality education and care to every child at Goodstart Dapto. She believes in the importance of building strong connections with families, as they are a child's first teacher.

We understand that choosing the right childcare provider is a big decision, which is why we offer a Subsidy Estimator tool to help you determine how much Child Care Subsidy you may be eligible for. Additionally, we invite you to search our vacancies and consider making Goodstart your next career move.

Goodstart at Home is another unique offering at our institution, where we provide resources and support to help parents enrich and extend their child's learning at home, all through play. We believe in the holistic development of children and aim to support families in their journey.

When you visit Goodstart Dapto, you will find off-road parking facilities with disability parking and easy access to the centre. We are conveniently located behind the Parkside Plaza, which houses BWS and IGA. Simply take Fowlers Rd to the roundabout, turn into Lakeside Drive, and take the first right into Parkside Drive.

As part of Goodstart, Australia's largest early learning provider and a proud not-for-profit organization, we have been recognized for our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children. We have been awarded as a Child Safe Organisation and continue to prioritize the well-being of every child in our care.

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

We invite you to come and say hello, as we would love to welcome you into our Goodstart Dapto family. Join us in providing your child with the best start in life through quality education and care.
