About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre in Gawler South has a rural aspect but still all the conveniences that come with a good, central location. The centre is located next to the railway station making the daily commute, drop-off and pick-up a whole lot easier!

Our outdoor areas – and the sheer size of the space we have for the children – are a wonderful asset to our centre. We have sandpits and paths and lots of tactile, sensory-based environments for the children to explore. Add to that our well-stocked veggie gardens – and we have a solid base from which to teach about sustainability and the environment.

We provide high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Using the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children’s learning, our educators are passionate and committed to providing nurturing and simulating early learning environment. With a strong commitment and focus to create a warm and welcoming community focused centre, we look forward to building and maintaining meaningful and true relationships with all our families and children.  

When you enrol at Goodstart Early Learning Gawler South, you can expect:

•    High quality learning environments

•    Passionate and highly trained teaching staff

•    School readiness and transition to school program

•    Child-centred, teacher guided learning framework

•    Holistic focus on the development of your child

•    Secure access with digital sign in and sign out kiosks

•    Access to Storypark – your child’s online learning portfolio

We invite local organisations such as dentists, police and the fire brigade to visit the children. We also encourage grandparents, relatives and parents to be involved in the centre's activities throughout the year. We have a partnership with Beyond Bank to assist the children to develop skills regarding financial literacy in this cashless society. One of our staff members is Italian, giving the children a hands-on experience understanding multiculturalism within our society. The children learn Italian at meal times, which they really enjoy.

We invite you to book a tour and take a look around, meet the team and explore how we can support your child’s early learning journey. We look forward to welcoming you and your family! (If the tour times available don’t suit you or your family’s commitments please contact us to organise a different time).

I am extremely pleased with the childcare provided for my son. The staff at Goodstart Gawler South are incredibly attentive, ensuring that every child's needs are met with care and professionalism. The playground area is fantastic, offering a safe and fun environment that encourages learning and exploration. I also love how the educators and the director of the centre, Ms. Janine Ludwig, genuinely listen to parents' concerns and provide valuable guidance and support. It’s clear that they are committed to creating a nurturing and engaging environment for all children. I highly recommend this childcare centre for anyone looking for a place where their child will thrive

We’ve had a great experience at Goodstart Gawler South this last year, moving from interstate the Team here made our child so welcome, helped immensely with transitions and support while we adjusted geographically and emotionally. Management and Teachers always lead with great communication and the best intentions, keeping parents updated quickly to benefit the running of the facility. And the Educators and Teachers always had fantastic activities and play learning lessons out ready for the kids each day. We’re thankful for finding our place here and thank everyone who has been a part of our journey this last year.

My son attended this centre since he was a baby until he started school. Reception was always there for us when we needed help. The outdoor playing area is brilliant. It is a natural play area with real dirt, plants etc unlike other centre's that have fake grass and plastic which harbors bad bacteria! My son enjoyed childcare and made strong friendships and still see's his mates even though he has now started school. Thankyou Janine for everything over the years and of course everyone else who was in Jackson's life

Janine Ludwig

Centre Director

Hi there. I’m Janine and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Gawler South.

I have worked in the in the early learning industry for more than 29 years, starting my career with this company in 1995. I have a Diploma of Children’s Services, and I have been the Centre Director at Gawler South since 2007. My time in the industry has given me the chance to work across all early learning age groups and it has led me to develop a philosophy where we aim to be an early learning environment that values and respects all children, families and educators.

It’s where there is a clear line of communication and a solid relationship that a child is given the best opportunity to grow and develop as a lifelong learner.

I believe the first five years are the most important in any child’s development, and I have great pleasure in helping today's young children to develop the skills to become the strong, independent leaders of our future. I encourage the families at this centre to have a voice, share their ideas and join in the learning with their child.

Come in and be heard. I’d love to meet you and your child and explore how we can give your child a great start in learning.

I would be happy to discuss what our centre can do to support you and your children. Call us on 8523 1488, or click the 'Book a tour' button above to arrange a personalised tour. If you’d like a tour outside of the offered tour times please contact me so that we can organise this for you.
