I’m extremely happy with Goodstart Early Learning at The Strand, Point Cook. The educators here are outstanding. In the Bunjil Room, Jagriti and Zara have been exceptional always supportive, attentive, and consistently helping the children thrive. I’ve seen such positive growth in my son, especially in his social skills. He’s become confident, engaged, and ready for school. The excursions they plan are thoughtful and enriching, giving the kids great learning experiences outside the center. The Centre Director, Melissa and Assistant Director Jo, are approachable and always available to chat about any concerns. The communication across the center is excellent, and the educators genuinely work in partnership with parents to support each child’s development. Whenever there are new trainee educators joining, communication is always clear, so parents stay fully informed. If you’re looking for a daycare that is nurturing, professional, and truly invested in your child’s growth, I highly recommend Goodstart Early Learning at The Strand. Thank you to the whole team for the wonderful work you do.

We have been with Goodstart The Strand for nearly 9 years and will be with them for another 4 years. They have provided absolutely wonderful and first rate care and education to our 3 children and so much support to us as parents. Our children have learned so much from the wonderful educators, not only with academic learning but about emotional regulation and social skills as well. The educators really built them up to believe in themselves and succeed. Our children are definitely better off for having attended Good Start The Strand and we are so grateful for everything they have done for us.

Building their confidence and love of learning is what we strive for every day. We’re so grateful for your continued support and look forward to many more wonderful years together at Goodstart!
