About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Mawson Lakes is on Avocet Drive, located in Shearwater Estate.

We provide high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. 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.  

Our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam. 

We have two outside play areas, one for the more adventurous children over the age of two years and another for the children under two years of age. This allows us to provide age appropriate gross and fine motor experiences in a social setting, aiming to gain the most out of learning through play.

Jacky, the director, is absolutely gorgeous! Always smiling and such a warm friendly manner, she remembers the little things about my son too & always checked in with me when I was there which made me felt very confident leaving him there. Candice & Anna have been most amazing in the baby room at looking after him for the time he was there & the communication we received from them each day was great! I would definitely recommend.

My child attended Goodstart Mawson Lakes Avocet Drive for 9 weeks (Kindy Group) just before she started school. She was a quiet child and had social anxiety and in 9 weeks time she was a different person --- Zero social anxiety and confident to do things on her own. Huge thanks to everyone at this Goodstart location for making her feel welcome, supporting and encouraging her. THE BEST GROUP OF PEOPLE WORK HERE

Jacky Sheldon

Centre Director

Hi there, I’m Jacky Sheldon and I am the Centre Director.

I have been working with Goodstart for 4 years. I have been lucky enough to be here at Mawson Lakes, Avocet Drive for the past 2 and a half years.

I have been in the Early Childhood Sector for 10 years and have worked in all positions, working my way from a Certificate 3 educator, to becoming Centre Director.

I am passionate about providing the best early years education for all children and empowering educators to implement the highest standards of care and learning. 

I am proud of our team, we have a Centre of long-term staff members that share the same goals and vision, without a high turnover of educators giving the best continuity of care for your children.

We would love to meet you for a centre tour and show you our lovely facilities and learning spaces. Please call 8262 7633 or click the ‘Book a tour’ button above to arrange a personalised tour and allow us to share in your child’s early learning journey.
