A good start begins here.
We’ve been welcoming two- to five-year-olds in Quezon City since 1975. A lot has changed over the years. What hasn’t is how much we care about getting this first step right for the child and for the family.
If you’re wondering whether Goodstart is the right fit, we’d love to show you around. Most families know pretty quickly once they visit.

Questions? We've got you.
Here are the things most families ask before their first visit.
Is my child ready for preschool?
We welcome children from age 2, but readiness looks different for every child. The clearest signs: they show some independence, they're comfortable around other adults, and they can handle short stretches away from you. Not sure? Come visit. Most families get a feel for it pretty quickly once they see the environment.
Does my child need to be potty-trained?
Not necessarily. We just ask that you let us know where your child is in the process, and keep an extra set of clothes and diapers in their cubby kit for any accidents. We'll handle the rest.
Are you DepEd recognized?
Yes. Goodstart is DepEd recognized, which means we follow their standards and guidelines. This matters practically: primary schools only accept Kindergarten finishers from DepEd recognized schools.
Where exactly are you in Quezon City?
We're inside Philam Homes, QC which is right across Trinoma. It's a gated village, which means a secure, calm environment for drop-off and pick-up.
How do I enroll my child?
Start by scheduling a visit. From there, you'll submit the required documents and confirm your child's slot upon payment. The whole process typically takes 2–3 weeks. Classes for SY 2026–2027 begin in June and slots are limited, so we recommend reaching out early.
How much is tuition?
We share tuition rates during your visit or feel free to email us at ad********@***********du.ph for a quick overview before you schedule. We offer annual, trimester, and monthly payment schemes.
