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.

Carol Carr
Hello there! My name is Carol and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Seaford Rise.
I have been a Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning since 2006 and have worked in the early learning and child care industry for more than 20 years.
During that time I have worked with children of all age groups and gained experience across a number of roles within the centres I have worked in. My experience is backed up by professional credentials and strong qualifications.
I believe it is a privilege to be a part of a child’s learning journey. I am very passionate about my role at this Centre and welcome the opportunity to get to know and work with all of our families.
The team I am fortunate to work with shares my belief that every child should have access to the highest standard of early education, and as such we work hard to develop and maintain relationships with families and the broader community.
I look forward to meeting you and your family and exploring how we can support you on your child’s early learning journey.

After a terrible experience at a previous childcare center, I was very anxious about making another wrong decision for my 22-month-old son. I wanted a place with clear and consistent communication, proper meals to meet his dietary needs, and caring, professional educators who genuinely support each child’s development. Three months later, I am so glad I chose this center. Here, every child is treated as an individual, not just a number. Even though childcare is a business, this center truly prioritizes care and quality. Read more
