Our educators and teachers pride themselves on delivering fun and educational learning experience’s tailored to each child’s individual needs.
Here at Goodstart Bundoora on Plenty Road, we believe children learn through play, play-based learning is one of the foundations of the early learning strategy.
Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning; and we are focused on ensuring the children are ready to take that all important step up to school.
Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Outside, we have age appropriate play spaces and equipment, all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment, as well as their understanding of the importance of sustainability.
We also have a cook at the centre providing tasty and nutritious meals for the children when tummies start to growl.
Our educators all hold Diplomas, Certificate III and Post Graduate qualifications as well as current working with children checks and Level 2 First Aid/Anaphylaxis Certificates, which are updated annually.
Our primary partners are our families and the community, we like working closely to create great relationships, appreciating all involvement and feedback.

Hi there! I’m Mayda and I am the Centre Director of Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Bundoora - Plenty Road.
I have worked in the child care and early learning sector sice 1987 and I have been in this role for about 10 years. I have a Diploma of Children’s Services and all first aid requirements.
Originally from Sydney, moving to Melbourne in 2002 with the background in the childcare industry and during this time I was privileged to have worked closely with motivated professional and passionate educators.
During my career I have had the opportunity to gain experience in before and after school coordinating, Family Day Care coordinator, Group Leader and Second In Charge.
I work with some amazing educators here and my amazing team and I strive to ensure all our children and our families’ needs are met.
I look forward to working with you all and exploring how we can navigate through the early learning adventure.
