About Goodstart Belair
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre in Belair opened in 2020 after being in the area for more than 20 years. Our newly constructed centre features six seperate, naturally inspired learning spaces, each with direct access to our landscaped designed outdoor environment providing children with the opportunity to move freely between the indoor and outdoor. The beautiful outdoor play was designed around the protected gum trees (where our lovely Koala friends live) and features our signature South Australian coloured arbour, natural enclosed quiet areas, sensory play and sandpits with water play.
Our beautiful outdoor dining hub connects our learning spaces to the playground and provides a shaded, outdoor dining space for all children and educators. Our onsite kitchen with child-height servery allows our centre cook to serve and interact with our children and engage in cooking and preparing meals.
We provide high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Using the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children’s learning, our educators are passionate and committed to providing nurturing and simulating early learning environment.

Silky Sandhu Centre Director
Hi, my name is Silky and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Belair. I have been in the Early Learning industry for over 13 years. I am not only passionate about mentoring Educators and ensuring each child’s learning is led by endless possibilities, but also passionate about leading with my team. I am always keen to share my knowledge and help others grow. I am passionate about advocating for children voices and importance of high-quality Education in Early Childhood.
I began my journey right after I finished my Bachelor in 2007. In India I worked as a primary school teacher and pursued Master of Mass Communication while I was working. Then I got married and moved to Australia in 2009. Whilst I was a student studying a Diploma of Early Childhood, my passion for teaching children started again in the sector as an Assistant in the Nursery room. I eventually progressed into a Qualified Assistant in the Toddler room, then worked my way up from Room Leader andt then to Senior Educator in the Pre-Kindy room. Following that I worked as and Educational Leader at Goodstart Early Learning and then as an Assistant Centre Director.
There has been lot of learning and valuable experiences in my 13 years of Early Education. I have learnt how important Early Education is for children’s lifelong learning journey. I really looking forward to meeting you all in person. It’s a great feeling to meet new families and get to know children from different cultural backgrounds.
