Welcome to Goodstart Old Reynella

Located on Kaurna land across from Prescott College in a welcoming, family-friendly community, Goodstart Old Reynella is a place where children feel safe, supported and inspired to learn. Our experienced educators guide each child’s journey through play, helping them build confidence, curiosity and a strong sense of belonging. With long-standing relationships and a focus on school readiness, children are supported to develop the skills they need for life. Book a tour to discover how your child can grow and thrive with us.

What makes our centre special:

Longstanding, dedicated team – many educators have been with us for 5–30 years, building strong, trusted relationships with children and families
‘Flying Start’ school readiness program – supporting children to confidently transition to primary school
Newly renovated indoor and outdoor learning environments, designed to spark curiosity and support exploration
Spacious, age-appropriate outdoor areas with sandpits, climbing equipment, natural elements and shaded play spaces
Diverse and inclusive community, welcoming families from a range of cultural and religious backgrounds
Qualified educators and Bachelor-qualified teachers delivering high-quality, play-based learning
Fresh, nutritious meals prepared onsite, with all essentials provided for your child’s day

Each day, children are encouraged to explore their interests through sensory, hands-on learning experiences guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our learning environments – from Nursery through to Preschool – are thoughtfully designed to support independence, creativity and meaningful connections. Outdoor play invites children to take risks, build confidence and develop an understanding of the natural world.

Our strong community focus means children feel connected not only within the centre, but also to their local environment through excursions such as library visits and picnics. Families often tell us it is our people, our program and our welcoming atmosphere that make our centre feel like a second home.

Whether you are beginning your early learning journey or preparing your child for school, we would love to welcome your family. Take a tour today to meet our team and explore our learning spaces or book a visit to see how we can support your child’s development every step of the way.

The team at Old Reynella have looked after my little one since she was 6 months old. Helping us both settle into working and mum life which is such a big change. The office team are always able to answer my questions and if they can’t they’ll get back to me as soon as they know the answer. Definitely recommend! 🥰

My name is Ilona, and I have been working in the Early Childhood sector for over 20 years.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of roles across the industry, and for the past 8 years I have proudly worked as a Centre Director, supporting children, families, and educators across South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Victoria.

One of the things I love most about early learning is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with families and to be a part of such an important stage in a child's life. I believe every child is a capable, confident learner who thrives when they feel safe, supported, and valued. I am passionate about creating environments where children can explore, grow, and express themselves in their own unique ways.

Starting your early learning journey can be both exciting and a little overwhelming, and I am committed to making that transition as smooth and positive as possible for every family. My door is always open, and I enjoy getting to know each child and family so we can work together to support your child's learning, development, and wellbeing.

I am looking forward to welcoming both new and existing families, getting to know our wonderful children and educators, and continuing to build the strong sense of community that makes our centre such a special place.

Hello, my name is Christine and I am the Assistant Director here at Goodstart Old Reynella.

I have been a part of the team at Old Reynella for more than 15 years. I started out as the Centre Chef and have worked across all rooms since transitioning to an educator role on the floor, building wonderful relationships with the children and their families in this time.

I am extremely proud of the connections I have made over the years, this is extra special when families from years ago, return for care with a new little one and see my familiar face.

I look forward to sharing our fantastic centre with you!

At Old Reynella, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a preschool program and long day care under the one roof.
