Goodstart Early Learning has partnered with the City of Sydney to operate The Crescent Early Learning Centre.

Constructed in late 2016, the custom designed centre was created to provide much-needed long day care and early learning places for parents living or working in the inner suburbs of Sydney. Catering for 80 children, the centre features five age-based playrooms, a large, fully landscaped purpose-built outdoor playground and dedicated drop off/pick up zones available for safe and easy access for families.

Open from 7am – 6pm, 52 weeks per year (except Public Holidays), the centre provides long day care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years and incorporates a dedicated Preschool Program for children from 3 – 5 years, delivered by University Qualified Early Learning Teachers and supported by the expertise of a national network.

Located centrally in Annandale, the centre is only a 12 minute drive to Sydney’s CBD, close to landmarks such as Sydney University, Broadway and Anzac Bridge and immediately adjacent to Federal Park and the recently revitalised Harold Park precinct.
