Goodstart CDU

Our 99 place early learning centre is located on the Charles Darwin University (CDU) campus in Darwin. The building is conveniently located on Lakeside Drive and provides care for children from six weeks to 6 years old from 6.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

Our newly constructed centre features separate, naturally inspired learning spaces, each with direct access to our landscaped designed outdoor environment providing children with the opportunity to move freely between the indoor and outdoor. Our environments have been specifically designed to engage, challenge and excite the children throughout all of their developmental stages. Our servery area allows our cook to serve and engage with the children in cooking and preparing meals.

Using the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children’s learning, our educators are passionate and committed to providing nurturing and simulating early learning environment. With a strong commitment and focus to create a warm and welcoming community focused centre we look forward to building and maintaining meaningful and true relationships with all our families and children.
