Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Kangaroo Flat

Goodstart Early Learning Kangaroo Flat is located at 17A Church Street, close to schools, shops, and community facilities on Djar Djar Wurrung land, where we honour Elders past, present, and emerging.

Our centre provides nurturing care and early learning for children aged six weeks to six years, including 3- and 4-year-old funded Kindergarten programs. We celebrate cultural diversity and connection to the land with four learning spaces named in the local Djar Djar Wurrung language—Murna, Wurrak, Duwin, and Mutjang.

Our experienced team comprises Bachelor-qualified teachers, Diploma, and Certificate III educators who tailor programs to each child’s needs, interests, and strengths. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our play-based approach fosters growth in a safe, welcoming environment.

We maintain close family connections through StoryPark, enabling clear communication and personalised learning journeys. Our onsite cook prepares healthy meals and snacks following Healthy Together Victoria guidelines, offering children fresh, nutritious options throughout the day.

At Goodstart Kangaroo Flat, we believe in the power of connection—to people and the land—empowering children to grow, thrive, and confidently explore their independence.

Vision: “Children learn best at their own pace and in their own way.”
Philosophy: “We believe in the power of connection. Connection to people and the land. With natural, engaging environments and open hearts, we empower children to take confident leaps in their journey to independence.”

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.
