Goodstart Mangerton - Childcare Centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Mangerton is located in the leafy suburb of Mangerton about two minutes’ drive from the central business district of Wollongong.

This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements. Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces – with sandpits, rock gardens, water channel, vege patch, decking, dirt pit, and lots of shade. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam. A major focus for our centre is how working with the broader community can help us enrich the children’s learning experience. Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation i…
