At Goodstart Clearview, our philosophy centres around the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own interests and strengths. We embrace a play-based learning approach that nurtures curiosity and creativity, allowing children to explore their world in meaningful ways.
We prioritise:
Through our philosophy, we aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and become confident, capable learners.
Children need to feel safe and supported to learn and grow, so we promote key educator relationships between our educators and children. Your child will have at least one educator (their key educator) who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them.
Our Key Educator relationships help children form secure attachments. Educators work closely with smaller groups and individual children to better understand each child. These relationships lead to improved outcomes for children as we foster more communication between families and educators.
We inform families regularly about their child's progress and welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.  
At our Clearview centre, we're proud to inspire your child's love of learning with the support of our passionate and qualified early childhood experts. Teachers with bachelor's degrees run our preschool program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start reception. 
At Goodstart, we believe all children deserve the best possible start in life, which includes access to high-quality early childhood education and care. We offer:  
We work closely with parents to ensure the individual needs, interests and strengths of children are considered, and our learning goals reflect them. Using Storypark, a wonderful communication platform, we stay in close touch with families and ensure you're well informed about your child's development and achievements.

We had such an amazing experience. The educators, centre director and admin where so lovely and really made it feel like a second family. I thank them for they did to help support my son and his development to set him up for his journey to school now.
My daughter has been here since baby room. She’s almost 4 and always happy to be there. Lots of learning activities for kids. Place is clean, outdoor areas spacious. All staff are very friendly and greet you in the hallways with friendly smiles. Admin staff are very helpful. Have another one going there soon. Great environment and vibe overall.
Over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for the sector, and I am dedicated to ensuring every child gets the best possible start in life. Becoming a mother of two has further fueled my passion for early learning, offering me the unique opportunity to experience Goodstart from a parent's perspective.
Through my own experiences and watching my children, along with many others, form strong bonds with their key educators, I understand the importance of these relationships. This connection is reassuring for both children and families, and it’s something I strive to foster for every child and family I work with. I believe that open, honest communication is essential in creating a positive and supportive early learning experience.
At Goodstart Clearview, our vision is to help each child grow, explore, and build respectful relationships within a nurturing environment. I am excited to support your family as you begin or continue your early learning journey with us.
