About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Melbourne Central is located in the heart of the CBD and is easily accessible by public transport. We are close to everything – schools, shops, transport, and often Mum and Dad’s work, making the daily drop-off and pick-up far less stressful!

Our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool – are set up and regularly changed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework curriculum and we work closely with parents and families to ensure the needs, interests and strengths of each child is taken into account.

Our Storypark platform is central to our ability to maintain clear and open lines of communication between the centre and our families. Any new developments, milestones or even issues which might arise from time to time can be communicated to families and plans put in place.

Outside, we have a wonderful large space – and all of it, aside from our garden area is undercover. That means whatever the weather our children can explore and enjoy the fun of playing outdoors. We have a sandpit, bike path, wooden decking and a performance area, as well as a vege patch and other garden spaces. Children can let their imaginations run free all in the name of sensory and play-based learning.

Once playtime makes the children hungry, we have a kitchen and cook on site to provide healthy and nutritious meals!

Goodstart Early Learning Melbourne Central has highly qualified staff who implement a quality educational program based on children's interests, needs and parent input. We also have a full time qualified kinder teacher who runs a school readiness program. 

We offer 2 years of kinder. That's two years of continued high-quality early learning, playing and making friends. Everything your child needs to feel ready for school.

We would love to meet you! Come in, say hello and take a look at how we can give your child the best possible start.

Ashlea MacDonald

Centre Director

My name is Ashlea MacDonald and I am the Centre Director of Goodstart Melbourne.

I’m passionate about connecting and building strong relationships with children and their families, achieving the best outcomes for all and building a strong community for all the children and families at Goodstart Melbourne.

I have worked with Goodstart for 8 years and hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, in the past I have worked as an Educator, Educational Leader and as an Assistant Director which has given me opportunities to work alongside children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. I have also worked with children from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds throughout my time with Goodstart and have supported these children and families with their individual needs.

The first five years of a child’s life will lead the way for their lifelong journey and learning, development and growth, therefore I believe in providing children with a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment for all children can achieve their highest potential.

Working with children is one of the most rewarding jobs to be a part of. The children, families and educators motivate me daily, I enjoy being a part of an amazing team who value supporting children and families to ensure we are providing the best possible care.

I look forward to meeting you and your family at the centre!
