Goodstart Early Learning St Leonards - Christie Street

Normal Hours

I'm an Early Childhood Teacher myself and have been very happy for our son to attend at GSEL St Leonards. He has loved the babies room and his teachers, who have planned thoughtful, meaningful and inquiry based experiences. He drops off easily to any of the teachers and staff, and then is hard to get out at the end of the day. A good sign! The director is wonderful, knowledgeable and supportive of families and staff. The staff appear to work cohesively to the benefit of the children. Great sense of community with the children at the centre.

Our daughter has been at the same centre for the past 4 years, moving from each room to now the last one. With some of long term staff members who have seen her grow its reassuring to know that she is cared for and loved. She has maintained her spirit, friendships and is continually growing in the environment that adds to her experiences in preparation for BIG school next year. Is the centre perfect, of course not but not from trying very hard, all the staff look out for the welfare of each child, take notice of any issues and deal with them quickly and genuinely care for the growth and development of our child. We would endorse the centre with pleasure.

My son has been at this centre for about 2 years. He started at the toddler room and has transitioned into the the preschool room. This centre under the supervision of Erika (New centre Directress) has improved 100% She is compassionate, caring and goes above and beyond to satisfy parents regarding their children's safety, health and learning. The staff seemed to have become more responsible and result oriented as well. Totally recommended.

I have been sending my daughter who is 3.5 years old for the past 5 months. When we started, my daughter used to speak, communicate very less. Now she speaks more, expresses her feelings, communicates much better, capable of taking care of herself-be it having her food or using the toilet. I am truly happy with the kind of training, support and patience shown by the staff at the Good Start. Every day they talk to me on what she did, on frequent basis they ask me about anything I would like to see her achieve this month. From an administrative end, I have received immense support from them as well. Especially, the centre director keeping everyone informed of all sorts of updates and giving multiple options of achieving the no of hours etc. Finally, the kids get a chance to have amazing and variety of food everyday from the centre chef. So I believe, the centre and the staff have been providing with an absolutely amazing service which any parent would look forward to. I hope they keep up their good work in the future tool

Both my boys have attended Goodstart St Leonards and I have seen some wonderful changes over our time. The Educators have been amazing for us, they care for my boys and work hard to teach them so many different things. I would highly recommend this centre to future families, we are really happy there!

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre St Leonards is a licensed 66 place long day care centre that caters for children aged six weeks to five years. We are easily accessible by private transport and only a short five minute walk from St Leonards train station and bus stop. Parents are able to park at the Wilsons car park for free for half an hour during drop-off and pick-up.

Our educators are highly trained, with each room run by qualified staff and maintaining the staff to child ratio set by the NSW Department of Children's Services. All of our staff have a senior first aid certificate and anaphylaxis training. Our staff actively and regularly engage in personal and professional development to expand their experience and knowledge. 

Our enthusiastic, highly qualified, multi-lingual and experienced educators create a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment that promotes the growth, learning and all round development of each individual child.

We pride ourselves on implementing quality educational programs that meet the needs of the children and follow the Early Years Learning Framework. Our preschool curriculum includes a specialised school readiness program aimed at assisting children and providing them with the learning tools and skills they need for a smooth transition to primary school and beyond.

Goodstart Early Learning St Leonards provides morning tea, hot lunch, afternoon tea, late snack, nappies, and bed linen. Our full-time cook, Preeya, ensures that nutritious meals are provided throughout the day.

We can also accommodate special dietary needs, with particular attention to allergies and cultural considerations. We also have a private breast feeding room for families when needed. Our centre is focused on the importance of healthy lifestyle, and as such we are actively involved in the NSW Health Munch and Move Program, which is a physical education program focusing on fundamental movement skills.

Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights, a noticeboard, idividual communication slips and emailed newsletters, 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.

We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your family and learn a little about how we can best support you on the journey of lifelong learning.
