High quality early learning: Spotlighting the 2025 Goodstart Centre of the Year
Skilled educators and teachers shaping futures every day.
Located on Whadjuk Noongar land, Goodstart Maida Vale offers a safe, welcoming and engaging early learning environment where children feel supported to explore, grow and thrive. Conveniently positioned at the foothills of Kalamunda, on the corner of Gooseberry Hill Road and Kalamunda Road, our centre is easily accessible for families. With a strong focus on safety, relationships and high-quality learning, children are encouraged to follow their interests and build confidence through play. Book a tour to experience our centre firsthand.
What makes our centre special:
Each day, children are supported to learn through play, building independence, resilience and social connections. Our educators take the time to understand each child’s individual needs, creating meaningful learning experiences that reflect their interests and strengths.
Our outdoor environments offer a balance of natural and structured play, with sandpits, veggie gardens and open spaces encouraging exploration and discovery. These spaces are thoughtfully designed to support children’s understanding of sustainability and the natural world.
We are proud of our strong relationships with families, working together to create a sense of belonging and continuity between home and the centre. Initiatives like our community partnerships and family support programs, such as Daycare Dental, help strengthen these connections and support wellbeing beyond the classroom.
Families often tell us they value our caring team, high-quality food and strong focus on safety and learning. Take a tour to meet our educators or book a tour today to see how we can support your child’s early learning journey in a safe and nurturing environment.


I’ve been passionate about early childhood care and education since 2011, and I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of roles with children of all ages. I’ve been a Centre Director since 2016 and have had the opportunity to lead teams across different centres within Goodstart.
I am deeply committed to providing a nurturing, secure, and loving and safe environment where children can grow and learn. At Goodstart Maida Vale, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality care that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. From the interactions we have with the children to the environment we foster and the educational programs we offer, everything we do reflects our dedication to ensuring your child’s safety, well-being, and learning.
We would love to meet you and your family and discuss how we can best support your child on their early learning journey.

At Maida Vale, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a kindergarten program and long day care under the one roof. Our kindergarten teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.
