Nestled among shady gum trees on Kaurna land, our early learning centre offers a warm, family-focused environment where children feel safe, supported and inspired to thrive.
We provide high-quality education and care for children aged six weeks to preschool across five age-based learning rooms, including two dedicated nurseries and a separate preschool building for 4–5-year-olds. Our nationally accredited preschool program supports school readiness and builds skills for life, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework.
Our team includes three bachelor-qualified teachers delivering child-led, play-based programs tailored to each child’s interests and development. Many of our educators have been with us for 10, 15 or even 20+ years, offering families stability, trusted relationships and deep community connections.
Children enjoy recently renovated outdoor spaces featuring bike tracks, sandpits, gardens and plenty of natural shade. With multiple outdoor yards, there is space to explore, create and build confidence through active play. Indoors, our environments are designed to feel welcoming and engaging, creating the perfect balance between structured learning and imaginative exploration.
We are proud of our inclusive, multicultural community where all cultures and backgrounds are respected and celebrated. Conveniently located on Windebanks Road near local schools, Happy Valley Reservoir and The Hub Shopping Centre, our centre is easily accessible for families.
Nutritious meals, nappies, wipes, cot linen and sunscreen are all included at no extra cost.
At Goodstart Aberfoyle Park, we partner with families to provide a nurturing start for babies and empower preschoolers with the social, emotional and academic foundations they need 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.

All the staff is amazing! The admin people are so helpful answering all my million question. The educators are always so kind and polite to us and having a chat. But the best of all is to see how happy our child is when entering the centre with a big smile and walking happily to the educators! We feel like the educators genuinely care about our child and family and we couldn't be happier anywhere else. Thank you everyone for your amazing work :)
Your kind words warm our hearts, and we appreciate your wonderful review.

I moved to Goodstart Aberfoyle Park a year ago, as i was unhappy with the current centre my daughter was in. Alex was really lovely, she let my daughter have half days, even a few hours in the morning, just while she was getting used to the centre. She wasn't meant to be in fulltime, but it turned into full time very quickly. The Staff treat the children like family, they give hugs, they pick the children up when needed, they form such amazing bonds with the children! The Admin team work tirelessly to make sure everything is up to date, and Hannah, in the early days, dealt with my many calls, with such empathy and compassion! The Kitchen team have been nothing short of incredible. My Daughter has a few food allergies and intolerances that unfortunately would upset her tummy quite often... But with lots of back and forth of emails, phone calls, person to person chats, we have found what works for her. Bel is always up for a chat regarding your children's dietary issues, and if she can make it work, she will make it work! Overall, I am more than impressed with Goodstart Aberfoyle Park and will be sure to recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the area! 5/5 stars to this big childcare centre family!!
Thank you for your heartfelt review, Kerrie! We’re thrilled to hear that Goodstart Aberfoyle Park has been a positive change for your daughter and your family. It’s wonderful to know that Alex, our staff, and the entire team have been so supportive and accommodating during your transition to full-time care. We take great pride in creating a caring and responsive environment for all our children, and we’re glad to hear that our team’s efforts to address dietary needs and maintain open communication have made a difference for your family. Thank you for recommending us and for your kind words about our team’s dedication. We look forward to continuing to support your family on your little one's early learning journey!

We are fairly new to the centre, however I couldn't be happier with the care provided to my little one in Nursery 1. Our little miss has built some great bonds with the educators making drop offs alot easier. As a worried mum the staff have been super reassuring and have really listened too and followed our routine making it such a calm and breezy orientation into child care. I also love being greeted every morning by Hannah at the front desk... Always has smile and so helpful ☺️ Thankyou to the AP goodstart team!
Thank you, Amy, for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear that your little one has built great bonds with our educators in Nursery 1, making drop-offs easier for both of you. It's wonderful that our staff has been reassuring and attentive to your routine, providing a calm and breezy orientation into childcare. We're also glad to hear that Hannah's warm greetings have made your mornings brighter. Thank you for choosing Goodstart Aberfoyle Park!
