Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Mont Albert

Goodstart Early Learning Mont Albert is a warm, family-focused centre located in a quiet residential area near schools, shops, and community facilities. Our mission is to create a homely environment where families and children feel welcomed, always greeted with a familiar, smiling face.

Our play-based educational programs, from Nursery to Kindergarten, reflect the Early Years Learning Framework. Children grow through sensory, play-based learning in colourful, stimulating spaces. Outdoors, two age-appropriate areas feature sandpits, veggie patches, a worm farm, and obstacle courses.

Our dedicated, passionate educators, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, hold formal qualifications and are trained in first aid and anaphylaxis. Our diverse, multicultural team speaks 13 different languages, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all families.

We offer a range of enriching activities, including sports, music, and movement programs. Our Kindergarten School Readiness program partners with local schools, and we host diverse incursions like Lunar New Year celebrations, Aboriginal Smoking Ceremonies, and visits from the police.

Healthy, nutritious meals are prepared on-site daily by our qualified cook, using fresh ingredients. Children also enjoy hands-on cooking experiences in their rooms.

We work closely with support agencies to ensure all children, including those with additional needs, thrive through active participation. Communication is key at our centre, with families kept up-to-date through our StoryPark platform, which allows parents easy access to their child’s learning journey, centre events, and tailored learning opportunities.

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.
