Goodstart Ferntree Gully

Goodstart Early Learning Ferntree Gully is situated in the foothills of The Dandenong Ranges, close to several local primary schools and a Westfield Shopping centre.
 
Our team of highly qualified educators strongly believe that the first five years are the most important in a child’s development. This is evident in our play-based programs which are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards.
 
Throughout our 6 indoor rooms and 4 spacious outdoor yards we focus on creating a sense of belonging for each child. Through literacy rich, natural and enabling environments, our educators ensure all children have the chance to grow and develop through play. Our Art Stations are full of open ended materials which are accessible at all times. All year round we have the doors open to enable the children to roam freely between the indoor and outdoor environments.

We have a Qualified Chef who also holds a Bachelor of Health Science. This allows for glorious, well balanced nutritious meals which are tailored to every child’s individual needs and allergies.
 
Community is a strong driver throughout our programs. With walking excursions, and the use of the Goodstart bus we have been able to visit local parks, schools, and libraries. We have developed community connections with our local primary school, elderly community and sporting clubs.
 
Early Childhood Teachers run our 3 year old Kinder program, as well as our 4 year old Funded Kinder Program. This allows our families the flexibility of a long day care setting in these essential programs.
 
Come in and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind. We would love to show you around.
