Welcome to Goodstart Bankstown

Located on Darug land in the heart of Bankstown, our centre is a place where children feel safe, valued and connected from their very first day. Our experienced educators create a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn and grow through play. With strong community ties and a rich multicultural environment, every child’s identity and culture is respected and celebrated. Book a tour to see how your child can belong and thrive with us.

What makes our centre special:

Longstanding, experienced educators – including team members with over 25 years of service, providing consistency and trusted relationships
A diverse, multicultural community – with educators speaking Arabic, Cantonese, Chinese, Greek, Hindi, Mandarin, Vietnamese and more
Child-led, play-based learning with a strong focus on school readiness and confidence building
Meaningful cultural experiences and incursions that reflect and celebrate our community
Strong relationships with families – often supporting siblings and multiple generations over time
Bright outdoor play spaces, including a dedicated Nursery yard and natural exploration areas
Nutritious meals provided daily, including halal options to support family preferences

Each day, children are supported to follow their interests through hands-on, play-based learning guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our programs are designed to build independence, curiosity and essential life skills, helping children feel confident as they prepare for school and beyond. Through regular incursions, including cultural experiences, music and educational programs, children are encouraged to explore new ideas and perspectives.

Our educators take the time to build genuine relationships with every child and family, creating a strong sense of belonging and trust. Families often tell us it is our people, our welcoming environment and our deep connection to the community that make our centre feel like a second home.

Whether you are starting your early learning journey or preparing your child for school, we would love to welcome you. Take a tour today to meet our team, explore our learning spaces and experience our community firsthand – or book a visit to see how we can support your child’s development every step of the way.

My name is Mary Joson, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Bankstown.

I have been part of Goodstart since 2019, and I truly enjoy working for an organisation that is committed to high-quality early learning and supporting families in the community.

My journey began as a part-time educator, and over the years I have had the opportunity to grow through a variety of roles within the centre. This experience has given me a strong understanding of early childhood education and has shaped my passion for leading and supporting a team.

I feel proud to now lead the Bankstown centre, working alongside a dedicated and long-standing team of educators. I am passionate about creating a warm, inclusive environment where children feel safe, families feel connected, and educators feel supported.

I believe in the importance of play-based learning and building strong relationships, and I am committed to ensuring every child has the best possible start in their early learning journey.

If you are looking for a centre that feels like a home away from home, where your child is supported and where families can communicate comfortably in their home language, I warmly invite you to come and visit us. My team and I would love to show you around and welcome you into our Goodstart Bankstown community.
