Goodstart Early Learning Atwell
Goodstart Early Learning Atwell Centre overview
As a trusted part of the Atwell community, Goodstart Atwell provides children aged 6 weeks to 5 years exceptional early education and care. Educators run engaging programs adapted to suit the children’s interests and needs. The child-led curriculum allows the children to choose and make their own decisions and ensure they thrive in the early years.
Inside, the age-specific classrooms are busy and filled with educational toys and activities to keep children engaged in their learning. Literacy and numeracy activities, a creative art corner, a family play area, and musical instruments allow the children to display creative and inquisitive thinking.
The outdoor space is divided into different age groups and has plenty of room for the children to burn off their energy. Wigwam structures are inviting spaces for the children to sit and read or play the many musical instruments. Climbing frames, sandpits and ride-on toys help children develop social and gross motor skills.
The centre is conveniently located opposite Atwell Primary School and a short walk to Mosedale Park. Public transport is easily accessible, and there is ample onsite parking to help with the busy drop-off and pick-up times. Why not book a tour of this engaging and inviting centre today?

Curriculum and programs
Curriculum and programs
The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.
As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.
The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress.
The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.
The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.

Dear Tanya & The Goodstart Atwell Team, The day has finally arrived when we must say goodbye to this wonderful center that has played... Dear Tanya & The Goodstart Atwell Team, The day has finally arrived when we must say goodbye to this wonderful center that has played such an integral role in the lives of our two beautiful children, Derik and Zarah. It feels surreal to be writing this, knowing that today marks the last day for our little Zarah, who is now almost 4.5 years old, a far cry from the 8-month-old who first walked through the doors of Goodstart. For over seven years, your center has truly been our second home, a place where we felt our children were cared for and loved as if they were your own. The trust we have placed in you, and the bond we've felt with each of you, is something we will forever cherish. You have not just taken care of Derik and Zarah, but you have helped nurture them into the kind-hearted, curious, and confident children they are today. We are beyond grateful for the unwavering support we've had living in a community that offered such a warm and loving environment for our children. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each and every educator at Goodstart Atwell for your dedication, kindness, and for treating our children with such care and respect. Today is a bittersweet moment for us. Zazzu, our youngest, who has always been the center of attention at daycare, will certainly miss all of you dearly. While we are excited about the new adventures ahead, it’s hard to say goodbye to such an important part of our lives. Thank you for providing such exceptional care and service. We wish you and the entire team continued success and hope the center remains true to its humble values, making a lasting impact on the children who are lucky enough to walk through its doors. With all our love and gratitude, Diana & Mehraab Read more
