More details
We're your local early learning and long day care centre. We have four separate, spacious age-based learning spaces with outdoor yards.
Discover our serene nursery for babies, the toddler room for our adventurous explorers aged 2-3, and two kindergarten classrooms where we deliver our teacher-led three and four-year-old kinder programs.
Why not take a tour and see our service for yourself? You’ll find us behind Heany Park Primary School near Wellington Village Shopping Centre.
During your tour, you’ll see our renovated indoor and outdoor play spaces, equipped to accommodate each child’s strengths, interests and stages of development. Our rooms enhance children’s experience through play-based learning.
Ours is a safe, peaceful, and natural environment. We engage children’s five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement as they learn skills for school and life.
We welcome enriching community incursions, such as weekly music lessons, reptiles, and Road Safety, and we run ‘Bush Kinder’ excursions, where children learn about caring for Country.
Two teachers with bachelor’s degrees lead programming in our three- and four-year-old kindergarten rooms. Our play-based curriculum is in line with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, National Quality Standards, and state government ‘Kinder Tick’.
Our team is passionate, caring, and highly qualified. We believe in open communication and forming strong bonds with families.
Many longstanding educators have been with us for over a decade and come from various multicultural backgrounds. Our bilingual staff, who speak languages including Mandarin, foster a sense of belonging for families.
We strive to make families feel included and supported throughout their journey, and we look forward to welcoming you and your child to our centre.
We cannot recommend the team at Goodstart Rowville Liberty Ave enough. Everyone from Angela in administration, to the manager Qing, to each and every educator are incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive. Our daughter started childcare as a 2.5 year old and so was reluctant at first but now she gets so excited to go to daycare - in fact we think sometimes she prefers spending her days with Tas and Bethany and the team in the toddler room, to being home with us 🤣 The centre is very inclusive in their practices and we love all the ideas, cultures, and music that our daughter is being exposed to. Thank you for helping make childcare such a positive experience and much less stressful than it can be, for our family ❤️
Our son enjoys going to this daycare almost every day! He has made a strong connection with many of the educators and fellow students. Qing always remembers everyone's names and is also very approachable and kind.
At Goodstart Rowville – Liberty Avenue, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways.
We prioritise:
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners.
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them.
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators.
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.
At our Rowville – Liberty Avenue centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our three and four-year-old kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school.
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storyark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

Centre Director
Hi, my name is Qing, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Rowville Liberty Avenue.
I have worked in the early childhood education sector for over 12 years.
I have always had a great passion working with children. I believe it is highly rewarding to be part of children's lives during those vital early years - seeing their development and learning firsthand as they grow and flourish, advocating for their rights, supporting families, and making a real difference in children's lives.
I hold a Master of Teaching in Early Childhood Education, and am grateful for the first five years of my career, where I spent my time working in rooms with children of different age groups. It has allowed me to gain knowledge and experience of how children learn and develop. I am also grateful for the past few years where I stepped up to the leadership roles which has given me greater insight into operations, management, challenges, and opportunities.
Here at Goodstart Rowville Liberty Avenue we strive to provide a safe, peaceful, and natural environment that engages children's five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement. We ensure that all families feel welcomed, included, and supported throughout their child’s journey at the service.
We look forward to meeting and welcoming you and your family!
