At Goodstart Bedford Park we are open Monday to Friday from 6.30am to 6.30pm and licenced for 60 children per day. Out children and families can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a preschool program and long day care under the one roof. Our preschool teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support children in learning the skills for school and life. Our Educators are highly qualified and experienced and work incredibly well as a cohesive team. They all pride themselves on creating a fun, exciting and developmentally rewarding learning environment for all children.

All of the learning environments are set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. We work in partnership with families on their child's learning journey which means we can tailor each program to the child's individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
