About Goodstart Mawson Lakes Elder Drive

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Mawson Lakes Elder Drive. Our child care centre is a beautiful, clean, colourful and bright purpose built centre, which is fully equipped to provide the best quality care for your child. 

In 2019 we won the Family Choice Award and our Centre Director won Employee of the Year!

We also boast great convenience being only a short distance from the Salisbury Highway and within walking distance of the Mawson Lakes interchange. Our educators are fully trained and extremely passionate about providing a warm, safe and nurturing environment for your child. 

At Goodstart Mawson Lakes Elder Drive, your child’s learning and happiness are our priority. We aim to provide a fun and stimulating program that encourages curiosity and exploration. We provide a wide range of experiences to help your child learn and grow. 
 
Throughout the year we host a range of special events to bring the families and educators together, and invite members of the community to come and speak with the children. Visitors include the local Fire Brigade, Police Officers, and librarian from the Mawson Lakes Library, Defence Force personnel, and representatives from the local RSL talking to the children about ANZAC Day. 

Every year we celebrate our diverse families and hold a multicultural night, were families can come and celebrate their cultures. This has now been running for 5 years and is something our community look forward to.
 

We encourage family participation at all levels from volunteering in the rooms reading stories, to cooking experiences, to coming together for Sports Days, Grandparent's Day and our annual Christmas party.

We look forward to meeting you and your family at Goodstart Mawson Lakes Elder Drive.

We invite you to book a tour and take a look around, meet the team and explore how we can support your child’s early learning journey. We look forward to welcoming you and your family! (If the tour times available don’t suit you or your family’s commitments please contact us to organise a different time).

Georgina Karipidis Centre Director

My name is Georgina Karipidis and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Mawson Lakes Elder Drive. I have been a part of Goodstart Early Learning since 2008.

I completed my Diploma in Community Services in 2001. I am very excited and happy to be the Centre Director here, and proud to have been a part of opening Goodstart Early Learning Mawson Lakes Elder Drive and building our strong and dedicated team of educators. My goal is to ensure that our child care centre is a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for all families.

I believe it is the responsibility of the carer to maintain a safe, healthy, consistent, caring, loving, exciting and organised environment. I believe children should be given opportunities and encouragement to reach their full potential in all aspects of their development.

Call us on 8285 4020, or click the 'Book a tour' button above to arrange a personalised tour. If you’d like a tour outside of the offered tour times please contact me so that we can organise this for you.

    "The staff are absolutely amazing always going above and beyond even though they don't need to. I would never even consider taking my kids anywhere else and recommend them to read more everyone. They're not just workers they have become family!"

    "I've always found Goodstart to be amazing. I love that the same staff are still there from when my 11 yr old boy attended, this shows me what a great place it is to work and read more be a part of. It's a real family environment and I find all staff to be friendly, caring and patient. I always feel extra special and never feel like I'm being rushed if I have anything I need to discuss. The girls are always busy yet always have time for a chat and nothing is any trouble. I have grown very fond of the people I have grown familiar with and I feel very blessed to have found such an amazing childcare centre. "

    "All staff at Goodstart Mawson Lakes Elder Drive are outstanding. In particular, the Nursery 1 staff are calm, caring, professional and passionate about what they do. My son is read more so happy there and although I wasn't 'ready' to leave him to return to work, it was one of the best decisions I have made. I couldn't speak more highly of the wonderful centre, staff and programs. I have and will continue to recommend this centre."
