Book a tour of Goodstart Pascoe Vale and discover a modern early learning centre where children can explore, build relationships and develop a strong sense of belonging.

What makes Goodstart Pascoe Vale special?

  • A diverse, multilingual educator team – our educators speak languages including Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Gujarati, Mandarin, Punjabi, Japanese and Urdu, supporting meaningful connections with families and helping children see their cultures, languages and identities reflected in their learning environment.
  • Experienced educators and teachers – many team members have more than five years of early childhood experience, with some bringing more than 15 years of experience, supporting consistency, quality practice and trusted relationships with children and families.
  • Six Bachelor-qualified kindergarten teachers – our qualified early childhood teachers support engaging, play-based kindergarten programs that build children's confidence, independence and skills as they prepare for school.
  • Learning beyond the centre – from pram walks for babies to community walks and visits to local parks, children have regular opportunities to explore their neighbourhood, build confidence and develop connections with the world around them.
  • Music and sustainability experiences – children enjoy weekly Hey Dee Ho Music sessions, while toddlers and kindergarten children participate in Little Sprouts sustainability and gardening experiences that encourage hands-on learning about nature and caring for the environment.
  • Purpose-built learning environments – our two-level centre features new resources throughout, with age-appropriate indoor and outdoor spaces designed to encourage exploration, creativity, movement and child-led play.
  • Strong community and school connections – relationships with local schools and the wider Pascoe Vale community help children develop a sense of belonging while supporting families and children as they prepare for the transition to school.

At Goodstart Pascoe Vale, children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, make choices and learn through meaningful experiences shaped around their individual interests, strengths and ideas. Our educators bring different cultures, languages, skills and perspectives to the centre, creating rich opportunities for children to learn about themselves and others in an inclusive environment. Regular music, gardening, sustainability experiences, neighbourhood walks and local park visits extend children's learning beyond the classroom and help them develop confidence and independence within their community. Families are valued as important partners in their child's learning, with our team focused on building genuine, long-term relationships and creating a place where every family feels welcomed and connected.

Mousumi Chowdhury (Sumi)

Centre Director
Welcome, my name is Mousumi Chowdhury (Sumi) and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Pascoe Vale  

I am so excited to share our beautiful new early learning centre with you.

About Me
I have worked in the early childhood education sector for over 14 years and feel incredibly privileged to have grown alongside so many wonderful children, families and educators during this time. My journey has allowed me to work across all age groups, from beginning as an education assistant, to leading rooms and completing my degree as an Early Childhood Teacher in the kindergarten room.


Since 2021, I have also had the pleasure of working as an Educational Leader, supporting and mentoring educators to create meaningful, high-quality learning experiences where every child can thrive.

As Centre Director, my philosophy is grounded in creating a warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, safe, and inspired to learn.

I believe that:

• Every child is unique - and deserves an environment that celebrates their individuality, nurtures their curiosity, and supports their growth.
• Strong relationships are essential - when children and families feel safe, secure and connected, they flourish. Partnering with families is at the heart of everything we do.
• Play is powerful - it is the foundation of children’s learning, allowing them to explore, experiment, and develop lifelong skills in joyful and meaningful ways.
• Diversity enriches us all — by embracing different cultures, abilities, and perspectives, we create a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
• Learning is lifelong - for children, families and educators alike. I am passionate about fostering a culture of reflection, growth, and shared inspiration.


I am deeply committed to leading our centre with kindness, collaboration and a strong focus on high-quality education. My goal is to create a place where children feel safe and excited to come each day, families feel supported and connected and educators feel empowered to do their best work.

Together, we can nurture bright beginnings and support every child on their journey toward lifelong learning and success.

My team and I can't wait to meet you at Goodstart Early Learning Pascoe Vale
