Children learn and grow alongside an experienced, long-standing and culturally diverse educator team in spacious indoor and nature-inspired outdoor environments designed to encourage curiosity, play and discovery. Book a tour of Goodstart Plympton to meet our team and discover a centre where every child is supported to feel safe, known and included.

What makes Goodstart Plympton special?

  • A long-standing, experienced team – five of our educators have been with the centre for between seven and 20 years, giving children the consistency, familiar relationships and sense of security that help them thrive.
  • An incredibly multicultural educator team – our educators speak more than 15 languages (, including Bengali, Cantonese, Chinese, Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Korean and Nepalese), helping children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds feel represented, understood and welcomed.
  • Purpose-built learning environments – spacious rooms filled with natural light connect directly to outdoor areas, giving children inviting spaces to play, investigate, create and learn throughout their day.
  • Nature-based outdoor play – sensory gardens, earth pits, dry creek beds and generous outdoor spaces encourage children to move, explore, experiment and connect with nature.
  • Enriching incursions – experiences including Flying Start Creative Therapies, Happy Feet and soccer introduce children to movement, creativity and new ways to build skills and confidence.
  • Quality Preschool program – five Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teachers support children's learning and development, helping them build confidence and skills for a positive transition to school.
  • Convenient for families commuting to the city – our location on the city-bound side of Anzac Highway makes drop-off easy for families travelling towards the Adelaide CBD.

Our child-led, play-based programs build on children's interests, ideas and individual strengths, giving them opportunities to make choices, solve problems and develop confidence as learners. Children can explore creative spaces, construction areas, quiet areas and nature-based outdoor environments, with learning experiences thoughtfully planned by our qualified educators. Our onsite kitchen and child-height servery also make food and mealtimes part of children's everyday experiences and connections.

Strong relationships with families help our educators understand each child and create a genuine sense of belonging within our diverse centre community. Families particularly value our multicultural environment and long-standing educators, with familiar faces helping children build secure and trusting relationships. Come and take a tour to explore our learning environments and meet the educators who make Goodstart Plympton special.

  • If I could give Plympton more than 5 stars I would, they have gone above and beyond with being so helpful with our son who started earlier in the year. He was diagnosed with Global development delay and he has hit so many milestone since going here! They staff are absolutely the kindest and most helpful I've met! I cant recommend them enough!

  • Our son really had a wonderful time at Goodstart Plympton. All the admin staff and educators are so friendly and responsible. We particularly enjoy all the learning activities and photos that they posted and shared with parents. We strongly recommend Goodstart Plympton to parents who are looking for a good Early Learning Centre!

Laura Caskie

Centre Director
Hi my name is Laura and I'm the Centre Director at Goodstart Plympton.

I have been working in the early childhood sector for over 13 years. I’ve also had a variety of roles across various support agencies - all with the same goal to enhance and enrich children’s lives in their first 5 years and setting them up with foundations for life.

I believe that all children should have access to the best quality early childhood education while also supporting families to achieve their best while navigating parenthood and life at the same time.

I take great pride in my role of supporting and mentoring team members to be the best they can be while learning from each and every one of them at the same time. I work along side the team in a parallel way to ensure there is open communication, respectful professional relationships built on trust and respect.
