Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school.

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.

Ashton and Cohen over the yrs. My only regret is not sending them sooner. They both 6 and 4 now developed their understanding of sharing, caring and speech has also improved. They are able to play with content and calmness at at home. Thank you mainly to miss Jovy and Miss Teresa for working with my boys. But all the other staff who I can't remember the names of have been so nice and helpful. And big thank you to all of you. Kylie, Sian. I'm moving now but it was such a pleasure to know my children were in such a loving environment. After the second visit Cohen said bye mum. No crying like I'd had before. The staff here have been here for 5 plus yrs. What they are doing works and I wouldn't hesitate sending my children there again ha they not grown so fast. Thank you Read more

I have two little boys (one who is high need) and only after attending for not long my high needs boy is vastly improving in every aspect in life. The educators are amazing they are patient, caring and calm. Excellent communicators and really work with you to improve your childs daycare experience. What I enjoy the most about this centre is walking in every afternoon to collect my boys and seeing all the children playing together, being at peace, happy and content. You don't often see many children crying or upset, as the educators are on top of everything. It is refreshing. I highly recommend this centre. It is the best daycare I have ever sent my boys to. I know they are safe and cared for and loved. Read more
