Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Semaphore Park

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Semaphore Park is a small, 70-place centre nestled in a peaceful part of the community, close to local schools, shops, and transport routes. We provide care and quality education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and a commitment to nurturing a welcoming, community-focused environment.

Our outdoor play areas offer a blend of natural and manmade elements, including shaded spaces from large trees, encouraging children to connect with nature and explore their surroundings. Designed to support sustainable learning, these areas inspire imaginative play and an appreciation of the environment.

With a dedicated and passionate team, our centre aims to build strong, meaningful relationships with families, offering a personalised learning journey that supports each child’s needs and interests. Storypark keeps parents connected to their child’s progress, while our school readiness program helps prepare children for a smooth transition to school.

When you enrol at Semaphore Park, you’ll find high-quality learning environments, nutritious meals prepared daily by our on-site cook, and essentials such as nappies, wipes, and sunscreen, all at no additional cost.

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.
