Goodstarter of the Year: Feny Belinda, the heart of Goodstart Melbourne
A national Goodies Award in 2025, recognising extraordinary community impact.
Goodstart Clayfield
Goodstart Early Learning Clayfield is a beautiful three room, open plan boutique centre with a supportive and high qualified team.
The centre was constructed in 1986. The owner/operator at the time was inspired by his own upbringing and designed the centre to reflects his childhood. It is modelled on the "Queenslander" style houses in the area. This is to assist with making the children feel like they are being cared for in a more home-like environment. The owner at the time had many memories of playing in the local "Kalinga" park.
Our centre boasts a beautiful homely environment and we pride ourselves on being one big family. We invite you to come and visit us anytime. We look forward to meeting you!
