Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Boronia Heights - Mackellar Drive

Goodstart Early Learning Boronia Heights – MacKellar Drive is situated in a quiet residential area close to local schools and shops. We care for children aged 15 months to 5 years, with Toddler, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten rooms. Our team of highly qualified educators, some of whom have been with us for up to 15 years, are passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Our curriculum is play-based, following the Early Years’ Learning Framework, with each program tailored to the individual interests, needs, and strengths of the children. Our government-funded Kindergarten program, led by a long-standing Early Childhood Teacher, prepares children for school.

The outdoor play areas combine natural and manmade elements, including garden spaces, a water pump, and a vegetable garden, designed to foster an understanding of the environment and sustainability.

We value our diverse community, supporting all families with open communication through various channels such as Storypark, face-to-face interactions, newsletters, and phone calls. We provide three nutritionally balanced meals daily and encourage orientation days to ensure a smooth transition into our centre.

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.
