We are proud to provide two years of accredited, government-funded Kindergarten programs, offering continuous, high-quality early learning, social experiences, and fun, ensuring your child is well-prepared for school.

Our thoughtfully designed rooms reflect our commitment to children, families, educators, and the local community. The resource-rich environments spark curiosity, and our play-based learning programs are led by a team of passionate, qualified educators and teachers.

At Goodstart North Melbourne, we keep families connected through Story Park, where parents can log in securely to view updates on their child’s day, including photos, stories, and learning outcomes.

As a multicultural centre, we embrace diversity and celebrate it through cultural events, languages, and stories throughout the year.

To further enrich your child’s experience, we offer exciting programs such as:

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional experience my son has had with Goodstart North Melbourne. What sets it apart is its ability to create a vibrant, inclusive community where children truly thrive. The teachers promotes respect, kindness, and empathy into daily activities, teaching through meaningful interactions and positive role modeling. My son has not only acquired knowledge but has formed beautiful friendships that will be cherished memories of his early years. The school is also very diverse, helping children from different backgrounds learn together and develop a profound understanding of individual differences. This approach teaches invaluable lessons of tolerance and mutual respect that extend far beyond the classroom. Thank you for the carefully planned, nourishing meals to the warm, supportive environment created by every staff member. The administrators, reception, and teaching assistants demonstrate an extraordinary commitment, always patient, kind, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. The warm welcome and jolly disposition of the staff make dropping off my son a joy, making our daily routine smoother and more delightful. To the entire Goodstart North Melbourne team: Thank you for inspiring and shaping young lives with such passion, creativity, and excellence

Nisha Bhatt

Centre Director

Hi, my Name is Nisha Bhatt and I’m the Centre Director at Goodstart North Melbourne.

With over 13 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of roles, including Casual Educator, Room Assistant, Room Leader, and Assistant Director. I hold a Certificate III, Diploma, and Advanced Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and my journey has deepened my passion for fostering the development and well-being of children.

As the Centre Director, my goal is to ensure that every child receives the highest quality care and education, leading to the best possible outcomes. The first five years of a child’s life are pivotal for their growth, setting the foundation for future learning. Through positive interactions and strong relationships with educators and carers, children learn to connect with the world around them. I am dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and discrimination-free environment where every child feels valued and supported.

I strongly believe in the power of play-based learning and holistic development, both of which are key to nurturing children’s social, emotional, and cognitive skills. These approaches create a dynamic foundation for children to thrive in all areas of their development.

To provide excellence in Early Childhood Education, I am committed to building strong partnerships with families and the wider community. Together, we can create an environment where children are empowered to explore, learn, and grow.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our centre, where we are passionate about creating an enriching, inclusive, and supportive learning environment. Our team of dedicated and qualified educators is committed to providing high-quality care and fostering an atmosphere where each child’s potential can flourish.

We invite you to book a tour of our centre to experience firsthand the nurturing and dynamic environment we offer. During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to meet our team, explore our learning spaces, and see how we support every child's journey of growth and discovery.
