Tucked away in a quiet, leafy pocket of Parkdale, our small centre offers a big sense of belonging.  With only 60 places, every child feels safe, seen and celebrated

Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale offers an all-inclusive early learning experience designed to support every child’s growth and development. We understand the needs of busy families, which is why we provide a wide range of valuable inclusions to support your daily routine. These offerings are all included in our daily fees and eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and Government Kindergarten funding (Kindergarten program only).

What you can enjoy when enrolling at our centre:

  • We provide a hat, t‑shirt, sunscreen, bedding for rest time, and nappies for our youngest children. We aim to remove as many barriers as possible for families, one less thing to worry about in the morning!
  • Children enjoy up to five nourishing meals prepared fresh daily by our on-site cook. We happily cater for all dietary needs, and we use mealtimes as opportunities for connection, ritual, our multicultural community and learning.
  • Extended opening hours from 6:30am - 6:30pm to meet the needs of working families. 

We believe extra-curricular experiences play an important role in supporting children’s learning, creativity, and confidence. That’s why we offer a variety of engaging incursions throughout the year, across all age groups and completely included in your daily fees.

  • Daily: Our curriculum is strongly influenced by nature. In our outside playgroups your child will enjoy sandpits, mud pits, cubby house, water trough, compost bins, vege patch, worm farm, undercover verandah, swings and lots of shade. Giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.
  • Fortnightly: Interactive sports and music programs that encourage movement, rhythm, and teamwork
  • Each Term: Exciting and educational incursions such as Bee Education, Sing & Grow, Body Safety Superstars, Museums Victoria experiences, and yoga sessions
  • Annually: A hands-on Mad About Science incursion that sparks curiosity and discovery

Come in and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind! We would love the chance to show you around.

Nafisa Chowdhury

Centre Director
Hi, I’m Nafisa Chowdhury and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Parkdale.

I have been in Early Childhood sector since 2013 and worked in a range of services both private and non for profit.  I am pursuing my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education, and take great joy and satisfaction in overseeing the educational programs and care at Goodstart Parkdale.

I strongly believe that each child can, at their own pace, develop independence, self-identity and an ability to investigate the world around them. I love to build a trusting relationship with the children while guiding them into the next stage of development with an excitement for continued learning. I enjoy acknowledging the multi-culturalism in our community and like to celebrate cultural uniqueness. I have also been actively taking part in various sustainability programs and encourage our children to be part of the process to create a better future for us all.

At Goodstart Parkdale, we take pride in providing a safe, nurturing and happy environment for the children developed in partnership with our beautiful families, educators and community.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to support your child’s early years development and learning.
