At Goodstart East Perth, 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 Goodstart East Perth 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 kindergarten program, so children can be well on their way to excellent learning outcomes by the time they start school. 
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.

My son has been at GoodStart East Perth since he was just 6 months old, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. From day one, the staff has shown so much love, care, and professionalism. I completely trust them with my child, which brings me so much peace of mind. He’s always happy to go in the morning, and it’s clear how much he’s learning and growing every day. The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of fun and educational activities.
My child has been going to this centre for three years now and the level of care from staff and management has been incredible. The staff have been very nurturing and have customised care plans according to the child's interests/needs, while constantly seeking feedback for improvement and building very special bonds with the children.
My passion is to provide a safe learning environment that is supportive of all learners, to enable them to discover the world around them. This includes their physical and social wellbeing. There is nothing more exciting and rewarding than to watch those little people learn and grow, and be part of it.
Our educators are committed to championing every single child and delivering quality education and care. We strive to offer a unique and tailored service to ensure that every single family and child's needs are met.
