About Goodstart Waranara

Waranara Early Education Centre, located at the former South Sydney Hospital site opened in September 2018.

Our purpose-built centre provides 74 much needed places for children in the Green Square precinct. Waranara is a Gadigal word meaning 'to seek'. The name recognises Sydney's traditional custodians and highlight's the centre's focus on early learning and play.


The child care centre is architecturally designed, with modern and naturally inspired early learning spaces that are custom-built for early education.

The single-level building provides direct access for children to explore the outdoor playgrounds that include a kitchen and digging patch as well as water and sand play.

Paid professional development - we offer a range of opportunities to grow your skills and your career
Wellbeing focus - you'll get two wellbeing days included in your personal leave per year
Additional leave - you'll have the option to purchase extra leave for even greater work life balance
