About our centre

Welcome to Goodstart Point Cook - Shaftsbury Boulevard

We love our community, and they love us. We’re exceeding four of the National Quality Standards and we work with families and care providers give every child an excellent start.

What makes Goodstart Point Cook - Shaftsbury Boulevard so special?

What does this mean for your family? It means your centre exceeds national expectations in at least four of the following seven areas:
• Educational program and practice
•   Children's health and safety
•   Physical environment
•   Staffing arrangements
•   Relationships with children
• Collaborative partnerships with families and communities
• Leadership and governance
Most of our team has been working together for around 10 years. We get to know everyone in the family, from the eldest siblings to the youngest, from when they come to us as babies and leave us to go to prep. We love that everyone gets to come back to visit us when their young siblings start, too.
We go on lots of excursions together like:
- Going to see the animals in the Melbourne Zoo.
- We visit our friends in aged care.
- The museum in Point Cook.
- The aquarium.
- Traffic school (road safety).
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 Key Educator who takes them under their wing and really gets to know them. We keep families informed with regular updates on their child's progress and we welcome family involvement in our centre events and activities.   
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

When every moment counts, make them Goodstart moments.

Gunjan Nagpal

Centre Director

Hi, my name is Gunjan Nagpal, and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning Point Cook Shaftsbury Boulevard. I am covering Staci for her maternity leave till mid-March 2025.

With 20 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of working with children at various stages of their development, and I am deeply passionate about fostering a nurturing, safe, and educational environment where every child can flourish. Over the years, I have seen firsthand the impact of quality early childhood education, and my goal is to ensure that our centre provides the highest standards of care and learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of children and families, gaining a strong understanding of the importance of individual attention, creativity, and emotional support in early learning. I am committed to building a collaborative, positive atmosphere for both our children and staff, where continuous growth and development are encouraged. I look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s growth and create a strong foundation for their future success.
