We're a warm and welcoming early learning and long day care centre on the lands of the Bunurong and Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation.

Families love the home-like feel that greets them when they enter our doors. Book and tour and see for yourself why so many choose us.
Whether you're after a nurturing nursery, toddler, or kinder program, you'll find it here with us. Our curricula are based on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, led by qualified professionals.

At Goodstart Hoppers Crossing – Morris Road, 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: 
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 Hoppers Crossing – Morris Road 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:  
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.

I have developed a deep passion for supporting children in their early learning journeys and providing them with the best possible start in life.
I recently returned from maternity leave after welcoming my first baby, a wonderful experience that has further deepened my appreciation for the important role we play in the lives of children and their families.
I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services and have just completed my Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Teaching), which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to lead our team and provide high-quality education and care.
I am incredibly proud of the team I work alongside. Our educators are highly qualified, dedicated, and share a common passion for fostering children’s development. Many of them have been a part of this centre for more than 10 years, working together to create a nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
I look forward to meeting each of you and welcoming your family into our wonderful community.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, ideas, or just want to say hello. Together, we can create the best possible experiences for your children.
