About our centre


Goodstart Early Learning are working in partnership with the Department of Education and Our Place https://ourplace.org.au/ at the new Goodstart Morwell Central centre. We are excited by the opportunity to provide an integrated service to the local community and to support the growth and wellbeing of Morwell children and families.

The centre opened in January 2020 and offers a range of programs and services to provide a holistic support to children and families, including Kindergarten programs, long day care, playgroups and maternal child health services. Over time, additional services will be introduced to further support and strengthen families’ participation in the community.

The purpose-built single level centre is located beside the Morwell Central Primary School and can be accessed via the main reception area of the school.  Goodstart Early Learning Morwell Central provides care for 126 children per day across seven age-based early learning spaces. Three nursery rooms for children from 6 weeks old, two rooms for Toddlers from 2-3, and two 3-5-year-old Kindergarten rooms).  Five consulting rooms and a multi-purpose room are also included in the facility and will be operated by Our Place. 

Our Place supports children and families through school. Through Our Place, schools become community hubs that include early year services, high-quality schooling, health and community services, adult education and employment support, and community engagement activities for children and families. The primary purpose of the partnership between Goodstart, Morwell Central Primary and Our Place is to enhance the outcomes of the children and families which use the centre.

Goodstart believes in children learning through fun and play. We encourage children to learn at their own pace through high quality educational programs and by providing them with opportunities to explore their environments whilst building strong social and emotional skills. We welcome and encourage parents to participate in the program and to be involved in their children’s early learning experience.


We look forward to meeting you and your family soon.

Centre Director

A little about me:

My name Is Ellen Woolfe, and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Morwell Central. I hold my Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management and I am currently studying my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. I have worked in the Early Education industry for the past 13 years and within that time have worked both on and off the floor.

My Early Learning values:

I believe children learn best through play, investigation, and enquiry. I believe every child learns in their own time and in their own space and that they deserve teachers who understand their needs and will support and guide them where needed.

What I love about our community:

Creating and maintaining relationships within the community is an integral part of my position and the community here at Morwell is very welcoming, respectful, and engaging to our service.

Why your child should spend the day with me and the amazing team at Goodstart Morwell Central:

At Goodstart Morwell Central we strive to provide a safe, equal, and inclusive space for all children and their families. We strive for our children and families to learn, grow, and challenge themselves whilst being supported by our team. We strive to provide the best outcomes we can for all children to empower and guide their learning through play.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
