Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Forest Hill - Fraser Place

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Forest Hill – Fraser Place is nestled in a quiet, leafy neighborhood, just minutes from schools, shops, and the local swimming pool, which we visit frequently as part of our community engagement. Our centre offers a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel like they’re part of a second family.

Our diverse team of dedicated educators is passionate about building meaningful relationships with children and their families. We invite families to actively participate in our variety of engaging programs and celebrations of special events throughout the year, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

Inside, our rooms from Nursery to Kindergarten are thoughtfully set up to reflect the Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play-based learning opportunities designed to promote children’s growth and development. We tailor our programs to each child’s unique interests, needs, and strengths, and our vibrant, stimulating environments encourage learning through play.

Our Storypark platform, along with regular family nights and emailed newsletters, ensures consistent, open communication with families, keeping them involved in their child’s learning journey.

Our outdoor play spaces are designed with sustainability and environmental awareness in mind, featuring mud kitchens, sandpits, cubby houses, bike paths, a pergola, veggie patch, and plenty of shaded areas for children to explore and enjoy.

We provide healthy, nutritious meals prepared fresh on-site by our qualified cook. Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack are all included.

We’d love the opportunity to meet you and your family to discuss how we can support your child’s learning and development journey!

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.
