Located on Yalumba Drive near Salisbury Downs, our centre offers a safe, welcoming environment where children can learn, play and grow from nursery through to preschool. As a 100-place centre with four age-based rooms, we provide tailored early learning experiences that support each stage of development.
What makes our centre special:
Children benefit from a rich and engaging program, with regular incursions that bring learning to life. These include visits from community members such as SAPOL, a local Kaurna Elder, the library, Bunnings, a dentist, reptile shows and more, providing children with meaningful, real-world experiences.
Our recently renovated centre also features sustainability initiatives, including a worm farm and planter boxes with Aboriginal plants, supporting children to learn about nature and care for the environment. Cultural diversity is celebrated through experiences such as our wall of 25 flags representing the families in our community.
Our educators are committed to building strong relationships with families, creating a warm and inclusive environment where children feel safe and supported.

Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
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.

My two children spent 1.5 years at Yalumba Drive Childcare, and we couldn’t be happier. They’ve grown, learned, and been so joyful every day. The staff is wonderful, very caring and professional.We highly recommend this centre. We also really want to say thanks to Nazrin!, Thank you for caring for my children with so much love and patience over the past 1.5 years. You’ve made a real difference in their lives. We also want to say thank you to Sue in the nursery, she is also a great Educator. Thank you everyone and best of luck! Jeevan & Megha

THEY ARE THE BEST child care. My son (2) has made friends and experienced love , nuturing, guidance from the staff that it is basically home away from home. The staff are all so loving with lovely communication skills and they treat my child as their own. I recommend anyone looking for a first childcare centre to walk in and have a chat.
