More details
We’re a smaller, focused service with three rooms: a serene and nurturing nursery for our babies, a toddler learning and exploration space, and a preschool classroom where we deliver a play-based, teacher-led curriculum based on the Early Years Framework.
You’ll find us on Cornelia Road near Lucretia Road. We’re close to Toongabbie Plaza and Valencia Park, just a short drive to Toongabbie Train station. Why not take a tour and let us show you around?
Our diverse educators come from various backgrounds, which helps our multicultural families feel at home, while language and culture variety add rich experiences to all children.
You could meet Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi, Japanese, Telugu, Sinhalese, Gujarati, Sinhala, and Tamil speakers during your tour.
Many of our team members are longstanding – two of our three teachers have been with us for 10+ years – and always keep up to date with best practices. We are committed to ensuring all our staff obtain the highest qualifications, training, and upskilling opportunities that Goodstart provides.
Being a smaller service, we can nurture and focus on our limited group of children. Our schedule remains exciting and varied, including various incursions or excursions.
We always make families feel welcome, and we’re honoured that so many come back to us with their new babies and younger children.
Discover the beautiful outdoor area adjoining our nursery. We’ve recently renovated and improved it, adding soft areas and stepping stones that your little one will love as they learn to navigate the world.
We believe family is a child’s first teacher, contributing to their beliefs and values. We strive to maintain continuity between the home and the centre. Let us show you the difference at Goodstart Toongabbie.
At Goodstart Toongabbie, 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 Toongabbie 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 preschool program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start reception.
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 Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.
