About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Oakleigh South - Moresby Street is located in a safe and quiet residential area close to schools and local shops and community services.

Our Vision is for our children to develop a sense of respect and cultural diversity and to feel happy, loved, safe and secure in their surroundings.

We believe in providing the best possible care and education to each child and ensure that all children are supported and guided through the first five years of their life.

Our educators aim to provide a nurturing and engaging care environment through our learning programs that are provided in all rooms that will support each child through play based learning. They scaffold children during the learning process to provide support and encouragement whilst ensuring your child feels comfortable in the care environment

Inside, all of the rooms - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool – we provide play-based educational programs which reflect the Early Years Learning Framework. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.

Outside, we have two areas both with age appropriate play spaces and equipment. We have lots of natural elements for the children to explore; sandpit, mud kitchen, worm farm, veggie patch, dry creek bed, water and trees.

Each week we carefully plan experiences for the children to support their development and learning outcomes. Our teachers will write observations about each child and use a range of tools including app based assessments to write a summary for you about where your child is at three times per year. You and your child’s teacher will meet to discuss the summary and set goals for your child together. We believe this partnership in working together will support your child’s sense of belonging to grow and develop into a confident, healthy, happy child.

Our centre is small and family orientated and we welcome parent input and participation at all times.

Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family events enable 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.

Come in for a guided tour and see the wonderful things we have to offer you and your family and let us explore how we can take your children on a journey of lifelong learning.

Ashlee Hay

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Ashlee, and I am the Centre Director for Goodstart Oakleigh South – Moresby Street.

Early Childhood Education has always been an interesting and important field of study and work in my life, as I have my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and I am currently working towards my Advance Diploma of Community Sector Management. I have extensive experience in the Early Childhood Education Sector, I started my journey in early years from 2012 as an educator, senior educator, educational leader, and assistant director until I was given the opportunity to lead the amazing team Oakleigh South.

I am very passionate about sustainability, mental health and wellbeing, safety and community involvement just to name a few, which I hope to share with you all.

My philosophy for education is based on the belief that early education is essential to support children to become critical thinkers and to make decisions. I believe that children should learn through play which supports different learning styles and that every child is a unique individual and should be provided with a warm, loving environment where they can feel safe, secure and happy.

I also believe that a strong partnership with families supports the children’s all-inclusive development. I also strive to create a safe place for families that embraces and respects their cultures and diverse needs.

I can assure you that I am devoted to improving children’s outcomes and my role with the team at Goodstart Oakleigh South, is to assist your child on their learning journey.
