Goodstart Early Learning Cheltenham 2 Jellicoe Street, Cheltenham, Victoria 3192

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Cheltenham! Located at Jellicoe Street, our establishment is a point of interest and a school that is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education for children in Australia.

At Goodstart Cheltenham, we prioritize the well-being and development of each child. With three dedicated teachers, we offer a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Our team is diverse, with educators fluent in a variety of languages including Bengali, Spanish, Greek, French, Indian, Mandarin, and Sri Lankan. This diversity allows us to create a culturally rich and inclusive environment for all children.

We believe in the power of strong relationships between educators, children, and families. That's why we utilize Key Educator Relationships to strengthen bonds and create a sense of belonging for each child. We also understand the importance of nutrition, which is why our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals every day. Additionally, we provide nappies, wipes, hats, and sunscreen for your child's convenience.

As the Centre Director, my name is Sutha Batumalai. With 10 years of experience in the Child Care industry and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, I am passionate about providing the best learning experiences for children. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in the same field to further enhance my knowledge and skills.

My educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that education is crucial for children to become critical thinkers and make informed decisions. I also recognize the importance of collaboration with families, as they are children's first teachers. By working together, we can support children's holistic development.

At Goodstart Cheltenham, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment that respects and embraces the diverse needs of families. We understand that every child is unique and has different learning styles. Our goal is to provide individualized care and support to ensure each child reaches their full potential.
