Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Cranbourne East

Goodstart Cranbourne East offers a nurturing 'home away from home' for educators, families, and children, supported by over 150 years of combined expertise.

Conveniently located off Narre-Warren Cranbourne Road with ample parking and nearby public transport, our centre is close to shops, healthcare facilities, and local schools.

Our team of dedicated educators is passionate about providing inclusive, high-quality care. We focus on fostering secure attachments with children and offer natural, stimulating environments that inspire exploration, challenge, and discovery.

Communication is at the heart of what we do. We prioritise open, honest interactions and support families by understanding their individual needs, cultures, and beliefs. Building strong partnerships allows for shared decision-making and contributions to each child’s learning journey.

Children’s learning is documented and shared with families via Storypark and ongoing discussions, aligning with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Developmental Framework. We believe every child has a voice and is a capable, competent learner. Our approach allows children to explore at their own pace, fostering independent choices in learning and play.

Our centre celebrates diversity with community events that highlight cultural holidays and important early childhood milestones.

We also offer a bulk-billed doctor service on Tuesdays, where Dr Rob provides health checks, immunisations, and well-being support for children, families, and staff.

Our open-door policy welcomes families to engage with their child’s early education. At Goodstart Cranbourne East, we pride ourselves on being more than an early learning centre – we are a supportive community network.

Curriculum and 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.

Meet the team

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.
