Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Clifton Hill

Goodstart Early Learning Clifton Hill is a 48-place centre located in a charming Victorian-style building, close to transport, schools, and local shops. We provide high-quality care for children aged six weeks to five years, with rooms designed according to the Early Years Learning Framework curriculum.

Through our Storypark platform, we maintain strong communication with parents, ensuring each child’s unique needs and interests are reflected in our programming. Our on-site kitchen and cook prepare fresh, nutritious meals daily.

Outside, our playground offers a mix of natural and manmade features, including bike paths, sandpits, and a vegetable patch to support sensory and play-based learning, sustainability, and a connection to nature. Our large tree provides shade in summer and blossoms in spring, adding to the centre’s inviting atmosphere.

Our experienced and dedicated staff have been part of the centre for many years, fostering a close-knit, supportive environment. We value our strong links with the local community, enriching the learning experience for all children.

We offer two years of kindergarten, providing a continuous, high-quality learning journey to ensure children are well-prepared for school.

We would love to show you around and discuss how we can help give your child the best start in life.

Curriculum and programs

The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.

As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.

The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.

Meet the team

Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.

The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.
