Learn more about Goodstart Rostrevor

At Goodstart Rostrevor, 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: 
1. Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
2. Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
3. Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
4. 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 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
At our Rostrevor 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.

Our Safety Commitment

At Goodstart Rostrevor, we are passionately committed to providing children with a secure environment that fosters a deep sense of belonging and well-being. Through the implementation of the Keeping Children Safe Program in our preschool rooms, we actively build children's knowledge and confidence, empowering them to advocate for themselves.

Our dedication extends beyond the classroom; our educators engage in Child Protection Professional Development and complete RRHAN training every three years. This ensures that we are not only advocates for children but also equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to support and protect them.

Our educators are resolutely committed to safeguarding children from abuse, neglect, and harm, creating an environment where every child, family, and educator feels valued, respected, and included. At Goodstart Rostrevor, our top priority is to maintain a nurturing environment where children always feel safe and empowered.

We have been a Goodstart Rostrevor family for 2 years with both of our children attending from 9 months old. We could not be happier with our experience. Each staff member is caring, supportive and welcoming. The bonds that our children have with their educators are so special. Between Goodstart’s gorgeous staff members and the wonderful families we have met, we really do feel part of the Goodstart family! We have been amazed with the development we have seen in our kids from the learning done within their rooms. Communication from educators is frequent so you always know what your children are up to. They are also given a wide variety of foods which they always love! Thank you so much to Stella and the Goodstart Rostrevor team! We look forward to many years to come.

My daughter has attended Goodstart Rostrevor from 9 months. We have always felt she is safe and very very well cared for. I have so much gratitude for each and every team member. Our daughter loves going to daycare, this has always meant so much considering my husband and I work full time and she is in full time care. Every time we drive past on the weekends she waves and energetically shouts “DAY CARE” Thank you for all you do for our daughter. I can and will only ever highly recommend the centre.

My daughter has been at the Centre for 6 months now and her development has been amazing to see over the time. The staff are really supportive and informative at pickup time and give lots of feedback.

Hi, my name is Rachelle and I'm the Centre Director at Goodstart Rostrevor.

I am a Diploma qualified educator and have worked in various roles for Goodstart since 2011. I have a strong passion for the early years, children’s learning and development.

We are a child focused service that works in partnership with families, respecting children’s rights and proactively safeguarding children at our centre. We strengthen children’s development and wellbeing by creating secure, respectful relationships. We have a very strong focus on Key Educator relationships and use our knowledge of the Circle of Security to ensure children feel supported. We recognise and respect the value of play in children’s learning and overall development focusing on processes and understanding.

I believe each child is an individual with their own interests, culture and needs. Children’s learning should extend on their ideas and voices as part of an inclusive program.

I look forward to getting to know you and your children, working together to support their learning.

At Rostrevor, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a preschool program and long day care under the one roof.
