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.

Kylie Turnbull
My name is Kylie Turnbull and I have been in the Early Childhood Education and Care profession for more than 20 years. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and have been the Director at Goodstart Robina Goldwater Ave since 2002.
At Goodstart Robina Goldwater Ave our Centre Vision is “Nurturing and Teaching Tomorrow’s Leaders” and this very closely aligns with my personal pedagogy. I believe that the opportunity for children to participate in high quality learning experiences and develop relationships in their first five years will provide them with a great foundation for future success in life. I am passionate about ensuring children have access to a high-quality play-based educational program in an environment where they feel safe, secure, and supported.
I believe children learn through play and that they benefit from engagement in a program that caters to their individual interests and developmental goals. I believe it is vital to work in partnership with families to identify and support goals for all children and strongly encourage family engagement in our educational programs.
The educators employed at Goodstart Robina Goldwater Ave share my passion and commitment to the children and families at our centre. So please come and say hello!
