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.

This team always go above and beyond to make your little one as comfortable as possible. Everyone is always so friendly and the team are so amazing to get along with. They share what your little one was up to for the day and you get photos to along with schedules with what they eating for the week. My little one always talks about how he had a good day and what activities they did for that day. Great place and lovely caring staff. Read more

My boys love their day care days filled with learning based play. The staff have great communication and let us parents know what fun activities the kids have been doing and what food they have eaten (which is always yummy and healthy) via the app and also at pick up. The centre also has great community programs like a food pantry, recycling station and a book library. I highly recommend a tour if you are looking for a day care for your little one. Read more

We have been apart of the goodstart family for our 2 childrens entire lives , that’s going on approx 6 years now and we have never looked back! I have seen family members change daycare centres continuously because of their expectations not being met but goodstart has ticked every box for our kids right from their first day! The staff are very welcoming , supportive and friendly , they make my children feel welcomed & that is the most important thing in my eyes . Goodstart offers amazing activities , story park provides you in depth detail of your child’s day / food / sleep etc and the food variety being cooked fresh every day is amazing ! The children get fed better than us parents do! I can not speak highly enough of goodstart , Have been to centres in nsw & now in qld and the care / professionalism & nature of all staff is exactly the same at all centres :) Thankyou for being our second family goodstart , The Cole family :) Read more
