Goodstart Early Learning Golden Square is located in a peaceful residential area close to local shops, schools, and sporting facilities, offering easy access via bus services. Our 135-place centre features 8 rooms, each designed to support children across different age groups while fostering a strong sense of community. Our 5 outdoor yards provide age-appropriate and engaging indoor/outdoor programs that run throughout the year, encouraging exploration and learning in a safe environment.

At Goodstart Golden Square, we develop individual learning plans for each child, guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF). We value the role of families as the child's first educators and work collaboratively with parents to set goals, incorporating family beliefs, cultures, and expectations into our programs.

One of our unique features is our partnership with Bendigo Foodshare. Upon entering our centre, you’ll find our Foodshare pantry, which provides pantry items for our families to take each week, with fresh deliveries every Tuesday morning.

Inclusion is at the heart of what we do. We welcome and work alongside children’s support teams, attending meetings to ensure a holistic approach to each child’s development. Our team is also dedicated to helping families access the services they need, providing ongoing support.

We understand how challenging it can be to find the right centre and navigate enrolment and Centrelink processes. Our team is here to assist with everything from completing enrolment forms to applying for Child Care Subsidy and starting the orientation journey. We are committed to supporting you and your child every step of the way.
