Welcome to Goodstart Toongabbie, a small, focused early learning centre where children receive personalised care and attention from nursery through to preschool. With three dedicated rooms, we provide a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn and grow through play-based experiences tailored to each stage of development.
What makes our centre special:
Each day, children engage in play-based, teacher-led learning aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, supporting their confidence, curiosity and independence. Our smaller setting allows educators to truly understand each child and tailor learning experiences to their individual needs.
Our multicultural team creates an inclusive environment where families feel welcomed and supported. Children benefit from exposure to different languages and cultures, enriching their learning and sense of belonging.
With a longstanding team and a strong reputation in the community, many families return with younger siblings, reflecting the trust and care we provide. Our programs are engaging and varied, including incursions and excursions that extend children’s learning.
We value strong partnerships with families, recognising parents as a child’s first teacher and working together to support each child’s development.

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.

Cynthia Wang
Our son joined at 17 months and had spent five months here. The nursery room teachers and Centre Director Fiona provided incredible support during his settling-in period, which was tough at first. Their patience, care, and professionalism helped him thrive. Even though we’ve now moved to a community childcare, we remain deeply grateful for their kindness and dedication. A truly wonderful childcare—highly recommended!
Thank you for your kind review, Cynthia. We are so grateful for your lovely feedback and for trusting our centre to support your son during such an important time. It means so much to hear that our educators and staff helped him settle in and thrive through their patience, care, and professionalism. Creating safe, welcoming environments where children feel valued is at the heart of everything we do. While we are sad to see you go, we truly appreciate your wonderful recommendation and wish your family all the very best in your next chapter.

I have been sending my kids to Good start Early Learning Toongabbie for almost three years now and my kids love to go every day. Dedicated staff and their interaction with kids and family is amazing. I definitely recommend Goodstart Early Learning Toongabbie for families who are looking to start your little one journey.
Hi Mimi, thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so happy to hear your children enjoy coming to the centre each day and that you’ve had such a positive experience over the past three years. Our team truly values the strong relationships we build with our children and families, and it means a lot to know you feel supported and connected. We really appreciate your recommendation!
Amanda Kravets
Both of my children have attended Goodstart Toongabbie, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. My eldest is almost 9 now and started here when he was just 1, and my youngest (now 5½) began at only 7 months old. The educators have been a constant source of warmth, care, and support throughout all these years. We’re so grateful for the amazing team at Goodstart — they’ve played such an important role in both of my children’s early years and development. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a daycare that genuinely feels like family!
Hi Amanda, thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear your family has had such a positive experience over the years and that both your children have thrived in our care. It’s wonderful to know you’ve felt supported and part of our community throughout their early learning journeys. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation!
