Discover Goodstart Semaphore Park: Your Child’s Second Home

Goodstart Early Learning Semaphore Park is conveniently located on Bower Road, nestled in a quiet corner of the community. Surrounded by key local amenities like Bower Cottage Community Centre, Portside Christian College, and Port Plaza, our centre is easily accessible with a bus stop right at our doorstep.

We’re more than a childcare centre – we’re a small, vibrant community where children and families feel at home. Our warm, welcoming environment is created by a dedicated team of educators who provide consistent, nurturing care and a true sense of belonging for every child.

A Multicultural Hub for Learning and Belonging

At Goodstart Semaphore Park, we celebrate diversity every day. Our families and team come from a range of cultural backgrounds, with educators fluent in languages such as Hindu, Punjabi, Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, and more. This helps children feel supported as they settle in and encourages cultural understanding.

We also embrace and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures in our daily learning and activities, fostering cultural safety and respect. Our nutritious menu reflects the diversity of our centre, with a variety of delicious dishes inspired by our families’ heritage.

Inspiring Outdoor Play and Sustainability

Our outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to spark imagination, exploration, and a love for nature. With large shade-giving trees, a sensory garden, and an Aboriginal garden bed co-created with Uncle Tamaru and our families, children learn about sustainability and caring for the environment.

Our unique outdoor experiences include:

• Preschool gardening excursions to the Bower Cottage Community Centre.
• Nursery natural walks, offering supervised adventures to nearby parks for our youngest children.

Community Connections and Exciting Experiences

We’re proud to have strong partnerships with our local community, which provide children with enriching excursions and incursions, including visits from the Mobile Library and opportunities to explore sustainable vegetable gardens and bee hives.
