Welcome to Goodstart Glendale, where children feel safe, supported and inspired to learn through play. Located on Awabakal land and close to local schools, shopping and community hubs, our centre offers a connected and nurturing early learning environment where children build confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Our experienced, long-standing educators create strong, consistent relationships with children and families, helping children feel secure and supported each day. Through play-based learning guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, educators design personalised programs that reflect each child’s strengths, interests and development.
Our play-based school readiness approach supports children to build confidence, independence and key skills for a smooth transition to school. Literacy, numeracy and social skills are thoughtfully embedded into everyday learning experiences.
We are proud of our inclusive, multicultural community, where children and families from diverse backgrounds feel welcomed and respected. Strong family partnerships and open communication ensure families stay connected and involved in their child’s learning journey.
Children enjoy hands-on experiences both inside and outside, with opportunities to explore nature, care for gardens and engage in activities that build teamwork and resilience. These experiences support children to become confident, capable learners and develop a genuine love of learning that stays with them beyond their early years. Our strong community connections, including proximity to Stockland Glendale and TAFE NSW, provide opportunities for real-world learning and exploration.
Families often tell us they value our caring team, personalised approach and welcoming environment. Book a tour to meet our team, explore our learning spaces and discover how we support children to feel confident, capable and ready for school.

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress.
The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.
The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.
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.

These women are easily fooled by manipulative Males , which causes them to do some out of protocol things that they're suppose to not do , and not even realize theyre helping an abuser and risking there own jobs too do so. They are that under educatorcated when it comes to legality protocols of privacy and safety for the victims of DV. They actually made my life a living hell at one point , They still never know that for a few months there I started getting panic attacks as the staff would have one take him from me and and the other stuff just stare with so much hatred like I was a bad person and say the same comment every time a staff member would say "you know he gets upset when his dad's drops him off too " every time they said the same sentence without me saying anything in the first place , the worst of the worst happened by them helping him in the most isolating sad and scary way , that they will never even realize how much the small things they did after saying I didnt have permission to come into pick him up resulting in my ex taking my son off me for 5 weeks with no legal clause to do so. If you call the cops they say we never said that too her of course she can come get her son. What they did for him that was cruel and awful towards me , at least 6 workers there added too his financial cripple and cruel, mean controlling ways . And made me feel more Isolated and alone then I already was trying to leave him with no support anywhere but even day care doubling down on the mental toll. I nearly didn't survive leaving my ex partner first physically then mentally I nearly killed my self and these women here should know better them to pick sides by being sweet talked by a male to the point of making a mother feel worthless and failing her own child for existing. Good riddance and I hope you ladies try and stick too your protocol in the future and don't pick says when you don't know anything

My son has started here in the toddler 2 room and the work they do at this centre is incredible. It started with an enquiry phone call and then I had a tour. Yes, I was that (annoying) mum asking every question under the sun but the director was so calm, warm & professional answering every single one of them followed up with information. Dealing with admin was so easy and nothing was too hard or difficult. My son’s educators are ANGELS! so lovely to deal with, so supportive and go over and beyond. The unique activities they do everyday are specific to help him with creative expression, sensory development, cognitive skills, social interaction, language development and much more. I love how they always update the routines (through the storypak app)with what my son is doing & what they do, from checking/changing his nappy, food he eats (chef onsite) nap time, sunscreen applied & more. As a first time mum transitioning back to work it’s the photos and routine updates that puts me at ease and give me so much joy. I can’t thank them enough for all they do and I appreciate it so so much. It’s not easy, but your hard work does not go unnoticed.
