About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Hampton Park – Coral Drive!

We are your local early learning and long day care centre built on Boonwurrung country. We have a serene and nurturing nursery for babies, toddler space for adventurous explorers up to age three, and classrooms for three- and four-year-old kindergarten.

There are four age-based outdoor nature play spaces with sandpits, climbing forts, dry creek beds, vegetable patches, mud kitchen, slide, and swing to entertain children and ignite their imagination.

A vibrant community surrounds us. We're near Coral Park, St Kevins, and River Gum Primary Schools and Hampton Park shopping centre. Take a tour; we'd love to show you around.

What makes our centre special?

Great, accessible location with easy routes to the city
Separate natural outdoor yards where children can explore safely and under shade
Inviting indoor environments with lots of space for three and four-year-old kindergarten
Good relationships with schools for children's skills and transition to Prep
Runners-up for the Family Experience Goodstart Goodie Award 2021 for Victoria

Families love our quality learning environments, approved programs, and the overall vibe of the centre, which you'll experience during your tour. We'd be delighted to show you what your family's experience could be like at our centre.

You'll notice how welcoming our staff are and how well they look after the children. Many have been with us for 10+ years, and they're highly qualified to provide play-based learning experiences.

We value the role of families, working in partnership with you and championing your involvement. Our educational programs focus on each child's individual needs, interests, and strengths, ensuring an enjoyable learning experience.

Our three- and four-year-old kindergarten classrooms each have two bachelor's degree-qualified early childhood teachers leading the curriculum, which is linked to the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and focuses on skills for school and life.

Our team work to ensure children have the best support and a smooth transition from early learning to Prep. We focus on fostering social and emotional wellbeing and a grasp of literacy and numeracy.

We will accommodate and support families however we can. Our bilingual staff helps our multicultural families feel at home while enriching the experience of all children. We also celebrate the diverse backgrounds of our children and educators.

Our incursions and excursions provide further opportunities for our young learners. They enjoy visits to the library, St Kevins and River Gum Primary Schools, community gardens with the local church, neighbouring retirement village (incursions and excursions), and a regular music program.

At Goodstart Hampton Park – Coral Drive, 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: 
1. Holistic Development: Supporting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities. 
2. Family and Community Engagement: Building strong partnerships with families and the community to create a supportive network for each child. 
3. Inclusive Environment: Celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included. 
4. Lifelong Learning: Instilling a love of learning by encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 
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 Hampton Park – Coral Drive 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 three and four-year-old 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:  
- Discounts on multiple days  
- All day sessions  
- Discounted shorter sessions  
- Fee assistance programs for families that need support
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.

Shweta Rajan

Centre Director

My name is Shweta, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Hampton Park Coral Drive.

I moved to Australia in 2012. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood and have almost 10 years of experience in the early childhood sector and all of it has been with Goodstart.

I am passionate about providing an early learning environment that is safe, hygienic, and fosters learning for all children, families, and educators.

I believe children should have the opportunity to explore rich and purposeful experiences throughout the day to reach their full potential in their first 5 years and that is only possible through high-quality early learning.

I warmly welcome new families, so please stop by! We would love to explore how we can support you and your child on their pathway to lifelong learning.
