Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Mount Waverley is located in a quiet corporate business district, just off the Monash freeway.

We believe that all children have the right to learn and grow in a warm, accepting and nurturing environment. We believe that Parents, Guardians and Families are children’s first teachers and we as educators work alongside them to provide a cohesive learning and developmental platform.

We facilitate the children’s learning and balance their rights, needs and feelings with that of others. We truly embrace our cultural diversity and celebrate all that has and will continue to form who we are and have the potential to become.

Inside our centre, all of the rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - are all set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities.

Our Storypark platform enables us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.

Outside, we have three areas all with age appropriate play spaces and equipment. We have a balance of natural and manmade elements and lots of area for the children to explore and let their imaginations roam with sandpits, vege patches, a bike path, pergola, worm farm, citrus trees and lots of shade.

All meals are prepared on site by our qualified cook who uses tasty, fresh and nutritional ingredients – just the thing to keep hungry tummies satisfied.

Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.

We constantly strive for improvement and pride ourselves on providing a program that is based on the Early Years Learning Framework, and that Exceeds the National Quality Standard.

We would welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family and explore how we can support you on this early learning adventure.

Mount Waverley Centre Vision: To be a happy, welcoming and inclusive community that fosters a love of learning, discover and play.

Hi, I’m Anne Jayasingha and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Mount Waverley.

I have been working in the Early Childhood sector since 2012 and I have been with Goodstart for almost 10 years.

As a Mother of one, I understand the importance of the Environment and Early childhood Intervention in building children’s learning and development.

I have held variety of roles within Goodstart including Senior Educator, Educational Leader, Inclusion Champion, Sustainability Champion, Safety Champion and Assistant Director.

I am an advocate of children’s rights and believe that children have the right to make their own decisions and choices.

I support educators in providing hands-on environment that promotes self-help skills and Independence that encourages curiosity, active learning, values, problem solving, language and literacy development and positive self-image.

Here at Goodstart Mount Waverley we believe that working collaboratively and having a successful partnership with our families and the community, we will be able to support children in reaching their full potential by providing them a nurturing, safe, active and challenging environment that is conducive to overall health and wellbeing.

We look forward meeting and welcoming you and your family!
