Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Lara

Established in 1994, Goodstart Lara offers enriching care and play-based learning for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, including a fun and challenging kindergarten transition program. Proudly part of the close-knit Lara community, educators foster clear communication with families, ensuring all children feel welcome, valued and accepted.

The centre is designed to meet the Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory, play-based spaces that are light, airy and engaging. Children can choose from a rich array of toys and games, while sofas add a homely feel for story time. Educators foster creativity and cognitive skills, with stimulating activities including art, music and maths.

The spacious and inviting outdoor area is made for exploration and discovery, with bike paths and a fun range of climbing equipment. Children also enjoy learning about nature and sustainability with the mud and bark areas, worm farms and veggie gardens. Educators encourage children to feed the pet turtle, fostering responsibility and care.

With a car park and central location close to public transport, drop off and pick up is stress-free. Why not book a tour of this warm and welcoming centre today?
