About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Glenroy - Pascoe Vale Road!

We're your local early learning centre. We provide care and education for children in our community on Wurundjeri land. 

We have a nursery for our babies, a toddler space, and two classrooms for three- and four-year-old kindergarten

Why not take a tour and see the space for yourself? We'd love to show you around. 

What makes our child care centre special:  

  • Caring and nurturing, longstanding staff with 10-20+ years of service at Goodstart
  • Cover the cost of nappies, wipes, sunscreen, hats, and all meals and snacks
  • We grow veggies and herbs and make the produce available to families 
  • Early childhood teachers in every room- five with bachelor's degrees in total
  • Auslan sign language as part of our kindergarten program
  • Bilingual educators who speak Nepalese and Hindi 
  • Just a 400m (5-minute) walk to Glenroy train station

Families love the educators – our staff are incredibly nurturing and passionate, with high qualifications. We have five qualified teachers on our books who lead the programming based on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. 

During your tour, you'll get a feel for the homely atmosphere and how welcoming it is here. Your child's care and learning are truly a collaboration with our educators. We keep an open, clear and honest flow of communication about their development. 

While our curriculum is sensory and play-based, we also offer extracurricular excursions and incursions to further enrich children's experiences with us. We visit the aged care centre across the road every six weeks and offer music and sports sessions on alternate weeks.  

Each year, Essendon Football Club come to do a session with the children, Wild Action teaches the children about wildlife, and specialists come to do water safety sessions. We also have children's first aid lessons and body safety workshops.   

We take pride in our service and are keen to continue regular renovations and improvements. We recently received a grant to renovate our kindergarten bathroom.   

Throughout the year, families are invited to attend our special occasions and celebrations, such as kindergarten graduation, Mother's, Father's, and Grandparents' Day, cultural festivities, and, of course, our very special end-of-year Christmas party.  

Once a month, our centre director attends local community meetings to advocate for early childhood education and the needs of children in the community.   

Our wonderful parents come in regularly to teach the children songs and stories in their native language.  We hope you'll join our family soon – we can't wait to meet you.

  • At Goodstart Glenroy, 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 our Goodstart Glenroy 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 three and four-year-old kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school. 

  • 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.
