About our centre

Our centre is architecturally designed to offer children a beautiful inviting space both internally and externally. Featuring six age-based learning spaces over two levels, with direct access for all children to a 0-2 and 3-6 year old expansive outdoor play areas.

Our beautiful communal dining hub allows the children to come together and enjoy meals away from their learning spaces. Our onsite kitchen with child-height servery allows our centre cook to serve and interact with our children and engage in cooking and preparing meals.

With a highly experienced and qualified team, our early learning programs cater to each child’s stage of development, from six weeks of age to Kindergarten-aged children. The curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and is tailored to your child’s individual interests.

Stephanie Young

Centre Director

Hi, I’m Steph and I’m the Centre Director of our wonderful early learning community here at Goodstart Mentone.

I’ve been in the Early Learning Sector for 18 years in various roles, 7 of those years as a Centre Director and hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.

I have two children of my own and with my experience as an educator, director and parent I feel I have a well-rounded understanding and perspective of just how integral it is to provide a warm, caring environment for families rich with learning and of course, lots of fun!

I have a passion for supporting educators to go above and beyond to achieve and exceed their goals, in turn creating incredible learning opportunities for children.

The first years after birth are the catalyst of brain development therefore I have a firm belief in celebrating and fostering the uniqueness of every child and tailoring their early learning experience to their individual needs and interests, building a desire for learning they can continue in the years to come.

Please reach out for a conversation, the team and I are here to support you throughout your child’s early learning journey.
