Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Mawson Lakes - Elder Drive

At Goodstart Meadow Springs, children aged 6 weeks to 5 years are cared for in a safe and supportive environment. Diploma-trained educators offer quality care and learning experiences to support children's developmental needs. The programs are sensory and play-based, ensuring the children have colourful and stimulating surroundings while learning in their preschool years.

Outdoors there are three age-appropriate shaded spaces with play areas and equipment. Bike paths, sandpits, a climbing wall and a playground give the children plenty of opportunities to be challenged and develop social and motor skills while having fun.

Indoors the five rooms are well-equipped with activities and resources to enrich the children's learning experience. Imaginative play is encouraged, and access to arts and crafts, books, puzzles, and a family play area allows the children to interact and develop key skills.

The centre is located behind Meadow Springs Shopping Centre and close to the main Mandurah Road. With a bus stop a short walk away and ample onsite parking, pick up and drop off are a breeze. Why not book a tour of this culturally diverse and welcoming centre today?
