More details
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Forest Hill - Fraser Place is located in a quiet leafy neighbourhood, a stone’s throw away from schools, shops and the local swimming pool; which we frequently visit.
Our dedicated educators come from diverse backgrounds and are passionate about fostering relationships with children and their families. We encourage our families to participate in various interesting programs that we offer and join us in our celebration of special days.
At Goodstart Early Learning Forest Hill-Fraser Place, we pride ourselves in being an extension of our families and providing our children with a nurturing and stimulating environment.
Inside, all of the rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten - are all set up in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.
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 have mud kitchens, sandpits, cubby houses, bike paths, bubblers, a pergola, vege patch, fort, scarecrow and lots of shade and space to run.
We have a qualified cook who cooks fresh, healthy and nutritious meals for the children each day. The centre provides all meals during the day, including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack.
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your family and learn a little about how we can best support you on the journey of lifelong learning.
A great place with amazing staff! I'm so lucky to have a good start with my daughter. My daughter has been going to Goodstart Forest Hill for three years and I am so grateful to everyone who has helped my daughter love her time there. The staff are wonderful, they always greet her with open arms and a smile. My daughter is learning a lot and I am constantly informed of her progress. I always leave knowing that she is safe and well cared for. I would like to thank Akram, Sargun, Lizzy,Lily, Neha and all the other staff who made sure my daughter had a wonderful time there. I would also like to thank Deepti (center manager) for her excellent management of the center and the care she gives to the staff and children. I'm sorry to be leaving, my daughter is at school now! I will miss you all!
This childcare is a hidden gem! My children have been attending for the last two years and they've absolutely thrived. On first glance it seems older and smaller than other commercial centres but what it lacks in a modern, shiny exterior, it more than makes up for with the most caring, loving and dedicated team of educators. This was the third childcare my daughter attended and her favourite by far. The staff always made her feel so cared for at drop off and she was never left to cry by herself - as had been the case with previous 'fancier' centres. The smaller group sizes means children are much less overwhelmed and build meaningful friendships quickly. This centre is perfect for children that are quiet and shy or need a little extra love. When looking for the perfect centre, brand new facilities and the latest toys are nice, but educators that feels like family will always be a higher priority in my mind.
My son spent two wonderful years at this center. English was a challenge for him, but the staff's love and support helped him overcome many obstacles. Their care made such a positive impact on his life, and he always looked forward to going. I’m so grateful to Deepti, Lizzy, Sam, and the entire team for their dedication. If you're looking for a place that truly nurtures children, I wholeheartedly recommend this center.
Centre Director
My name is Deepti Gogna and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Forest Hill - Fraser Place.
I am deeply passionate about early childhood education and have been dedicated to this field since 2016. Holding a Graduate Diploma in Children’s Services and a Bachelor’s in Education, I am committed to fostering a positive and enriching environment for young learners.
I firmly believe that a child’s early experiences in education lay the foundation for their lifelong attitude towards learning. My greatest joy comes from spending time with both the children and the educators, and I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive space where each child can thrive.
It is a privilege to contribute to the lives of the wonderful children we care for and educate each day. Our role in establishing strong foundations is essential for their growth and development.
I work closely with a team of dedicated, professional, and highly qualified educators who share my passion for helping children reach their full potential. Together, we provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure the delivery of daily practices and curriculum within the approved learning framework, achieving the best possible learning outcomes.
We are excited to welcome you to our centre and are available to discuss how we can embark on your child’s journey of lifelong learning.
