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.

Meet the team

Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.

The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, Razing. We understand the challenges that families face, especially when English is their second language, and we strive to ensure that every family feels supported and understood. Regarding our fee structure, we understand that it can be complex, especially with the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) involved. These play a crucial role not only in compensating our dedicated educators but also in ensuring exceptional care for all children in our care. Often, factors such as the number of days in care and hours covered can greatly impact your subsidy. We want to ensure that every family clearly understands what they are paying for and feels comfortable with these expenses. We invite you to speak directly with our Family Services team on 1800 222 543, who can help clarify our fee structure and work with you to find a solution that suits your family's needs. Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We are keen to address your concerns and learn from your feedback so we can continue to improve your experience, as well as that of other families in our care.
