About our centre
Goodstart Early Learning Prospect Vale is located in a quiet side - street in the suburb of Prospect Vale, conveniently located near the Prospect Vale Market place, with plenty of off street parking and public transport nearby.
We currently have over 130 families that use our service on a weekly basis, and many of our families come from diverse cultural backgrounds.
We have been part of the local community since 2006 and our centre strives in bringing the community together as we celebrate many events throughout the year. We offer information and make contact with other support services in the local area for families and children with additional needs.
The staff pride themselves on delivering fun and educational learning experiences for each child in care. The centre staff work hard to build and flourish strong relationships with children and their families. Many of our dedicated educators have been at the centre for many years, with some of our educators having been working at the centre for over 5 years. This allows our staff to build strong bonds with children and families while promoting stability and routine.
Communication with families is highly regarded and we currently communicate with our families through a bi-monthly newsletter and open nights and informal chats at drop off and pick up. Families are also informed about their children’s day through the use of day books, journals and a visual program wall.
The centre has two fully equipped outside play areas with modern equipment. The play areas are fully fenced and offer shaded sandpits as well as other shaded play areas. Our children love to use our large open playground and a large grassed area for physical activities. For our families’ convenience, we provide all meals and nappies.
Our child care centre provides education and care for children from 6weeks to 5 years and is licensed for 75 children per day. Offering qualified staff in all rooms and Early Childhood Teacher trained staff in the three to five year old rooms.

Bianca Schipper
Centre Director
Hello! My name is Bianca Schipper, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Prospect Vale.
I am very passionate about early learning and providing children with the best start in life, by supporting children to develop in their unique way within a meaningful learning environment. I have been working at Goodstart Early Learning since 2007, with experience working in Early Childhood Education across all ages 0-5yrs. I have worked many roles throughout my time at Goodstart, from Educator to Assistant Director and hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.
Here at Goodstart Prospect Vale, we are fortunate to work alongside a highly qualified and long standing team, who all have the passion and drive to provide children with the highest quality of care and learning. Our program includes an outdoor classroom, many incursions and excursions, including visits to our local nursing home. Our team values their key educator relationships and values the relationship between the home and care environment!
I look forward to meeting you and your family and welcome you into our little community!
