Our purpose-built centre offers essential early learning care for local families. We have three spacious learning areas, all on one level, some with direct access to the playground.

Our Learning Spaces

Our spaces consist of three learning areas, Nursery, Toddler and Kindergarten. Each space is tailored to child-based learning and is guided with child-based interests. Our yards are newly renovated and are supportive of children’s physical and emotional well-being and development.

Tailored Early Learning Programs

Our programs cater to children from six weeks old to kindergarten age, based on the Early Years Learning Framework and tailored to each child's interests. We focus on sensory and play-based learning to support and promote your child's individual needs, interests, and strengths.

Nutritious Meals

Meals are prepared fresh daily in our commercial kitchen by our qualified chef. We provide a light breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack. We accommodate all types of dietary needs.

Included extras: We include a hat, t-shirt, sunscreen, and supply nappies for your baby whilst in our care.

Additional Activities

At our centre, we believe in providing a well-rounded experience for your child. That's why we include a variety of incursions at no extra cost. These activities are designed to be both fun and educational, ensuring your child will love, learn, and create happy memories that last forever.

Special Activities

Throughout the year, we organise special activities that are sure to captivate your child's imagination and curiosity. These might include science experiments, art workshops, wildlife visits and cultural celebrations. Each activity is designed to be memorable and educational, providing unique learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. Your child will have the opportunity to explore new interests, develop new skills, and create lasting memories with their peers.

By participating in these extracurricular activities, your child will benefit from a holistic approach to learning and development. We are committed to offering experiences that enrich their lives and support their growth in a fun and engaging environment.

To foster our relationship with our local community, we love to participate in community events and celebrations which also enrich the learning experience and allow us to really get to know the families in our local community.

We can't wait to meet you and your little one!

Hi, my name is Teagan and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Kyneton.

Welcome to Goodstart Kyneton!
My name is Teagan, and I have the honour of leading our multi-cultural and diverse community here in Kyneton, on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung People. With 12 years of experience in early childhood education and care, I'm deeply passionate about creating an environment where every child can thrive and discover their unique potential.

My background
I began my journey as a Diploma educator supporting across multiple centres and age groups, which ignited my passion for early learning. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to study my bachelor’s in early childhood education and care, lead nursery and toddler rooms and developed from Assistant Director to Centre Director.

My early childhood philosophy
I believe all children families and staff should be nurtured, heard, and welcomed into a safe and happy centre. For me, it's all about ensuring children and families are included and feel welcome in a centre that is culturally safe for them.

What I love most about Goodstart Kyneton
Goodstart Kyneton is special because the centre is small and cosy, it gives home like vibes, and you are greeted with warmth and positivity when you come into the centre. Families and children are encouraged to share your cultural celebrations. Every day, I'm inspired by the smiles, laughter, and learning that happen within our walls.

My commitment to you
As centre director, my door is always open to families. I'm here to ensure your child's experience with us is nurturing, educational, and fun. I believe in transparent communication and building partnerships with parents to support each child's journey.

Come and say 'Hi'
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to Goodstart Kyneton. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, or better yet, book a tour to see firsthand the wonderful environment we've created for our children. Together, we can make these early years enriching and memorable.
