We make learning fun
At Goodstart we offer our Kindergarten Program through a play-based curriculum using the Early Years Learning Framework, which is delivered by Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teachers. This program nurtures children’s collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking skills. Taking an active and fun approach helps children develop a curiosity and openness to learning that lasts well into adult life.
We know your child and support their individual learning
Our longer day format means we can spend more time getting to know your child and can create an individual program that supports them to develop a love for learning. We also work with nearby schools to ensure children take that important next step smoothly and with confidence.
We go beyond the traditional 9am – 3pm
We’re here for you - five days a week, 12 hours a day, 52 weeks a year, including school holidays. So, your child can attend Kindergarten with the flexible, longer hours you need.
We offer the extras that make life a little easier
Our on-site cooks prepare nutritious meals, so you don’t have to worry about packing lunch boxes. There are extracurricular activities, plus all kindergarten children receive a polo shirt and a hat to make mornings that little bit easier. Is your child starting Kindergarten soon? Enrolments are open now!

In WA, your child can start kindergarten at the start of the school year (late January) if they turn four by 30 June of that year. Some children may be eligible to start earlier, including children who identify as Aboriginal, children in care, or children with a disability or additional needs. Your child can start pre-Kindy from three years of age.

Our dynamic, vibrant and inspiring kindergarten programs are designed and delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers to prepare your child for school. We incorporate play-based learning, which helps children discover, socialise and create all while developing valuable cognitive, physical, social, and early literacy and numeracy skills.

Our centres offer longer hours and more flexible options than many other kindergartens, including nine hour, 10 hour and all day sessions, five days a week, 52 weeks a year. This means greater flexibility for parents, and more opportunity for us to tune in to when your child learns best.

Our kindergarten program receives government funding (up to 15 hours a week per child), which links in with the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) reducing your out-of-pocket costs. We also don't charge for public holidays. If you need support in navigating your Child Care Subsidy our team is here to assist.
-
We also provide families with assistance to access support services in the areas of speech, language, behaviour, social skills or overall development where needed. If you are concerned about any aspect of your child’s development or learning, please speak to your child’s Teacher.
Enrolments are now open for our kindergarten program.
As a working parent, I found Goodstart Kindergarten to be the best option for our family as our child was cared for up until 6pm every day. It was great to know that he was learning the same curriculum as other Kindy’s with a qualified Teacher; he learnt so much and I feel he has been very well prepared for school in terms of independence and social skills.
