About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Melrose Park!
We’re proud to serve the children of our diverse community on Kaurna land, and we can’t wait to show you around. 

Our centre has four rooms: a beautiful nursery for babies, a toddler room for children aged 2-3, and two preschool classrooms. Why not book a tour and see for yourself? 

You’ll find us off South Road, next to Edwardstown Primary School, close to Castle Plaza, Woodlands Park Train Station, and Ashford Hospital.  

Reasons you’ll want to enrol with us: 

  • Exceeding rated service, so you know we’re above the standard
  • Longstanding multicultural team who speak many languages
  • Well-established centre with a homely feeling 
  • Two bachelor’s degree-qualified teachers leading curriculums
  • Exciting excursions to local fire and police stations
  • Onsite dance classes and Road Safety program
  • Convenient location next door to Edwardstown Primary School 
  • The area has many parks and playgrounds

We prioritise building strong relationships with our children and families. During your tour, you’ll experience our supportive environment. We’ll encourage your child to familiarise themselves with their new room and our friendly educators.  

Our longstanding, experienced team includes three educators who have been with us for over 10 years and five others for over five years. They help to provide a stable environment for your child. 

We have two qualified teachers who bring expert knowledge to our educational programs. Our staff speak many languages, including English, Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, and Taiwanese, which enriches the children’s experience and helps our bilingual families feel at home.  

When you enrol with us, your little one can enjoy ViaDance classes on Wednesdays and an onsite Road Safety program with the police. Our local Bunnings comes to us, and we sometimes take the children there for excursions, too. We also take occasional trips to the local fire and police stations, which the children love.

  • At Goodstart Melrose 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:  

    • Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
    • Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
    • Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
    • Lifelong Learning: Instilling a love of learning by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 

    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 Melrose 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:   

    • Discounts on multiple days
    • All day sessions
    • Discounted shorter sessions
    • Fee assistance programs for families that need support
  • 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.

Our daughter has only recently started childcare, so the transition has been tricky for all involved. Bronny and Katrina have worked so hard to ensure that she is safe, happy and having fun. We appreciate all of the hard work so much, and especially appreciate your time and kindness during handovers. It’s been an emotional time for all of us, but you have made it much easier. Thank you!
Catherine
