Welcome to Goodstart Kensington

Tucked within a quiet, gated community on Gadigal land, Goodstart Kensington offers children a calm and secure place to explore, belong and grow. Our experienced educators guide learning through play, building strong relationships that help every child feel confident and capable.  

With a longstanding team and a rich, multicultural community, children are supported to discover their world in ways that reflect who they are. We invite you to book a tour and see how your child can thrive with us. 

What makes our centre special: 

  • A highly experienced, longstanding team – many educators have been here for more than 10 years, creating consistency, trust and strong relationships
  • Rated ‘Exceeding’ the National Quality Standards– giving families confidence in the quality of care, learning and support their child receives
  • Bachelor-qualified teachers in every learning space, delivering high-quality, play-based programs aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework
  • A diverse and inclusive community, with educators speaking Chinese, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese and Greek
  • A peaceful, leafy setting within a gated community – quiet, secure and set back from busy roads
  • Rich learning experiences through regular incursions and excursions – including sport programs, library visits, cultural experiences and community outings
  • Strong focus on communication and connection with families through Storypark, events and everyday conversations
  • Nutritious, freshly prepared meals made onsite to support children’s health, energy and wellbeing

Every day, children are encouraged to explore their interests through hands-on, sensory and play-based learning. Our environments – from Nursery to Preschool – are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, creativity and independence. Outdoor spaces invite children to connect with nature, build confidence and develop an understanding of sustainability through gardens, sand play and open-ended exploration. 

We value each child as capable and unique, shaping learning experiences around their strengths, interests and cultural identity. Our close-knit community means children form meaningful friendships across age groups while feeling supported by familiar, trusted educators. Families often tell us it is our people, our program and our sense of community that make the difference. 

Whether you are just starting your early learning journey or looking for a centre where your child can truly belong, we would love to welcome you. Take a tour today and experience the difference for yourself – or book a visit to meet our team and see our learning in action.

I am passionate about children’s learning and I have a strong belief that parents are the experts of their children.

We have a strong focus on supporting families to be advocates for their children and their learning. As an extension of your family the goal at Goodstart Kensington is to provide an environment where children can flourish.

The team I am fortunate to work with shares my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.
