About Goodstart Hobart West

Now open. Book a centre tour today!

Located just 500m from the Hobart CBD and with onsite parking, Goodstart Hobart West is perfect for city workers travelling from the southern and western suburbs.

Early learning and care places are hard to find in Hobart West. It’s part of the reason why Goodstart Early Learning built an architecturally designed, purpose-built centre in the Hobart community providing high quality early learning and care from birth to 6 years.

Stimulating learning environments and unique indoor and outdoor play areas will enable children to break into their developmental stages to enhance interaction with each other, and facilitate dedicated care by qualified early childhood teachers and educators.

Children at the centre has access to engaging early childhood learning experiences and curriculum developed and delivered by experienced teachers. Programs will be designed to foster each child’s individual needs and interests.

Our vision

For children

Children will be provided with the highest level of early childhood learning experiences in engaging, challenging environments. Unique indoor and undercover outdoor areas will allow for gross motor play all year round, while external parks and a walking track will become an extension of the learning areas.

For families

The centre has a dedicated waiting area, a separate parent room and a training room where we will provide valuable information sessions for families. We welcome and support families to be a part of their child’s every day learning experiences. As our primary partner we want families to have a clear understanding of their child’s learning program and to interact with the centre so it forms part of everyday family life.

For educators

Educators will be driven by a strong image of child practices influenced by the UN Rights of the Child. The centre director will be well experienced in running a large centre, and educators will benefit from the quality of the facility and onsite training room.

For the community

The local community will be invested in the centre and we will provide space that external organisations can utilise. The location, being just a short walk to the city and near local parks, will open the centre up to the community and allow children to explore and learn about their surroundings.

We provide early learning & care to these groups:

"Goodstart Hobart West provides a fantastic environment for little people to blossom. From the minute you arrive you are welcomed and sense immediately the nurturing presence read more of all the staff. They make it a priority to get to know your little one and understand all facets of their character. I truly feel that they are as invested as I am as a parent in providing a safe and fun learning environment that lets your little one shine. As an added benefit Goodstart Hobart West is also a new purpose built centre that has been designed addressing the needs of both children and staff, a truly amazing facility. The fact that I am greeted at the end of the day by a child whose only desire is to stay longer reinforces what I feel, that we believe we are lucky that we can be a part of the Goodstart Hobart West community."
