At Goodstart Angle Park, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways. 
We prioritise: 
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners. 
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. 
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators. 
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.  
At our Angle Park centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our preschool program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start reception. 
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:  
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

We've been entrusting our precious little one to Goodstart Angle Park since he was a mere 5 months old, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The care, attention, and nurturing environment provided by the dedicated staff have played a pivotal role in our child's growth and development. From the outset, the centre's commitment to creating a safe and stimulating space for children is evident. The educators go above and beyond to foster a sense of curiosity and exploration, ensuring that each child's unique needs are not only met but exceeded. We've witnessed our child's milestones celebrated, his unique personality embraced, and his days filled with engaging activities that strike the perfect balance between fun and educational.
Words cannot express how grateful our family is for the love and care you have shown our son over the years. It is hard to believe it has been 4.5 years! From day one we have felt so welcomed by everyone and the staff’s passion for their role in shaping children’s lives has never wavered. Our son has been through a lot in his time at Goodstart, and the support from each and every one of you has been instrumental in helping him through his challenges. The huge difference that the centre has made in his life cannot be understated. We are so thankful to all of you and we will miss seeing you all.
I have been in the industry for almost 10 years, with over half of those in leadership roles. I believe children have the right to a high-quality early education where they are able to feel welcome, safe and secure to thrive and place this as a high priority for the centre. I believe strong, reciprocal relationships are key to build a strong foundation for children's ongoing learning and become confident and capable learners.
I look forward to meeting new families, children and educators and can't wait to embark on this journey together.
