**About Goodstart Huntingdale**:
Our service caters for children from six weeks to five years of age. We currently have 135 families attending our service from a range of different cultural backgrounds.
Our centre was assessed by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority and we received an overall rating of ‘Exceeding’. This process is a National Framework, which rates all Childcare Centres across Australia against the National Quality Standards.
Our centre features large, open play spaces both inside and out, where children are encouraged to spend time with each other. Goodstart Huntingdale offers convenient on-site parking, and is located directly on the local bus route.
We maintain strong ties with the local community by participating in events such as charity fundraising days. We also maintain a close relationship with the local primary school, and offer excursions to the school as part of our school readiness program.
The majority of our educators have families of their own, and all have a genuine interest in the development of every child at the centre. A number of our educators come from different cultural backgrounds and are bi or multilingual. We celebrate the cultural diversity of our educators and families by incorporating different aspects into our learning programs and centre events.
