Goodstart Early Learning Beresfield

Normal Hours

Goodstart Beresfield

My almost 2 year old daughter has been going here since she was 1.
She is talking so much and learning new things all the time.
I highly recommended this daycare to anyone who wishes to put their child in day care.

I myself work in Early Childcare so have been incredibly fussy in the centres that my children attend away from me. When my youngest was three my family relocated from Lake Macquarie and I had to find a new centre for my girl, one that allowed long hours and an understanding of my fussy demands. We looked at so many centres but my youngest cried at all of them, except Goodstart Beresfield, she decided she was staying here and never leaving...and really she hasn’t. Since then she has attended 4 long days a week, and I know for certain that she’s well looked after, loved, and learning. One day she came home from school and announced that she can count 1-10 in Italian following an interest in learning about the world in which they live. She’s writing her name, learning about social standards and how to interact with her peers and most importantly learning how to feel a sense of belonging away from home. I will be forever grateful for the care of Goodstart Beresfield and urge you to really consider this centre for your children. Best choice I ever made!!

Best decision I ever made I recommend this preschool to anyone

Both my children have both been to this school and I could not fault anything about this school! The school is fantastic in regards to the kids and all learning outcomes. They ensure all the children’s needs are met! Would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a school that is beneficial to your child’s needs!

The team at Mission Australia are professional, enthusiastic, caring and supportive of families. My daughter started there at 8 months old and is now 1 year old and from day one i felt comfortable dropping her off. The staff have good knowledge of policies and procedures and are always happy to answer my questions. The learning environment is made up of natural resources, is esthetically pleasing and has always been clean. I also enjoy how the staff find ways to strengthen Partnerships with families and promote inclusive practice i.e. Easter hat parades, family photo walls and Mother's Day afternoon tea! The team seem to love their profession and it is very reassuring to know that your child is receiving high quality care when you are not there.

Our centre is located in the local community of Beresfield in Newcastle, conveniently located on Milton Street, not far from the Beresfield train station. We recognise that early childhood is a crucial time of development and we work with children and their families to ensure the best possible start in life. Our learning environments are nurturing and natural, where each child feels valued and safe to explore, create and communicate. We ensure flexibility and responsiveness to children’s interests, learning capabilities and styles, so they can become  confident learners.

We educate and care for children between six weeks and six years old across four indoor learning environments.We believe that children learn best when they are engaged in meaningful play experiences. Play allows children to explore ideas and concepts in a fun environment where they can learn individually and socially with peers and teachers. 

Our curriculum has been developed and influenced by the Early Years Learning Framework, ensuring that the children at our centre receive the highest quality education. We take a play-based approach to teaching and believe that children play and learn most effectively in environments that are safe, interesting, challenging and fun, with natural resources that reflect the multicultural background of families at our centre and our wider community.

Our two amazing outdoor learning spaces, which include trees for climbing, creeks for splashing, and gardens for growing, were designed with the intention of making dedicated spaces for discovery, quiet reflection, and risky play. A connection to nature is so important for children. It not only helps develop their motor skills, coordination and spatial awareness, but also fosters an appreciation for our natural environment.

With a highly experienced team on board, Goodstart Beresfield offers your family high quality early learning and care.  All of our experienced educators hold formal qualifications, including Bachelor of Early Childhood Teaching degrees, Certificate III and Diplomas in Children’s Services. We are passionate about delivering a leading early learning curriculum in a welcoming and inspiring environment.  We aim to welcome and invite the community into the centre as regularly as possible, having annual incursions such as ‘Living Safely with Dogs’, ‘Pacific Smiles Dental’ visit and ‘Henny Penny Hatchings’.  Each of these incursions provide the children with learning opportunities and resources that foster their development and connect them to the wider world.

Our school readiness goals focus on supporting children to transition to school and we have close connections with our local schools such as Beresfield Public School, Tarro Public School, Woodberry Public School, Thornton Public School, Black Hill Public School and Millers Forest Public school. We also have a connection with our local catholic schools such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, and St Aloysius Catholic Primary School. Our school readiness program aims to teach the whole child in what is called a holistic approach, with a focus on independence, resilience and social/emotional wellbeing.  We want to send off happy, confident and kind learners who will thrive at school and be able to tackle and embrace all the new challenges.

We use Storypark to share your child's learning. This industry leading program lets you see the learning experiences of your child and allows you to interact with educators to enable real connections between what your child learns at Goodstart Beresfield and what happens at home.
