Our purpose-built centre features spacious, naturally inspired indoor and outdoor learning environments where children can explore, play and follow their interests. Conveniently located on Holbrooks Road, we're around six minutes from Brickworks Marketplace and West Torrens Library and Aquatic Centre. Book a tour and discover a centre where strong relationships, cultural inclusion and children's individual learning journeys are at the heart of everything we do.
What makes our centre special
Children at Goodstart Underdale are encouraged to learn through play, exploration and meaningful experiences guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our educators get to know each child's interests, strengths and individual ways of learning, creating experiences that build confidence, curiosity and a strong sense of belonging. Families can stay connected with their child's learning through Storypark and regular conversations with our educators, supporting continuity between home and the centre.
Our multicultural team brings a rich mix of languages, cultures and experiences into everyday learning, helping children develop respect and appreciation for the diverse world around them. With strong community connections and experienced educators, children are supported from their earliest days in the Nursery through to their transition to school. Take a tour to explore our learning spaces, meet our team and see what makes Goodstart Underdale a welcoming place for your child to learn, grow and belong.
Our family has been at Goodstart Underdale since September 2020, and we could’t be happier. Both our babies feel so comfortable there- it’s like our second home. All of the educators are lovely and attentive, and our children are growing up to be confident and caring. The Preschool room is preparing my son for school next year, and we can’t thank ECT Amali for the routines and educational experiences she plans so well. The layout of the centre is a bonus, with the carpark out front on Holbrooks Road, and the outdoor play spaces tucked away safely at the back.
After looking at a number of centres, I finally found one I fell in love with. I was super anxious about leaving my 4.5mth old in care, but the team at Underdale have made the transition so easy and comfortable. All staff have gone above and beyond to help our little girl and we are so thankful for the love and time they give her :)
I like that it’s an educational based facility with the small ratio of children and wonderful teachers and exposes your child to different aspects of learning through sensory and play. Ever since enrolling my kid I’ve seen many improvements. This place is great.The classrooms were clean and the toys looks all new. Great playground with which is really nice and different from other preschools. All my questions were kindly answered and when I thought of more questions at a later time, they were happy to answer them too! I would really recommend this place to everyone with little ones.
Our son began attending Goodstart Underdale at 10 months old and we feel he is very well cared for. The educators are willing to accommodate his routine and communicate with us how his day goes. We are grateful for the care that he receives from the team!


I have studied for 3 years in Children Services and started working in the early learning sector in 2010. I've always been passionate about working with children and I find it very rewarding to watch them learn and grow. I started my career with Goodstart Early Learning Nightcliff in the Northern Territory in 2012.
I love working at Goodstart Underdale because it's such a fun and enjoyable place to be. We are like a big family. Getting to know the children and their families is so rewarding and, as a parent myself, I can appreciate how important the relationships are between families and educators.
I take great pride in knowing that our centre will be the one that strives for excellence and quality in childcare while promoting our cooperative spirit.
In my role as Centre Director I will strive to make the centre welcoming, inviting, and a positive place for all children, families, and Educators.
