Goodstart Early Learning Success

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.

Yonny Minchinton

Hi, my name is Yonny Minchinton, and I am your Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Success.

Goodstart has been my home since 2011, and I have had the pleasure of gaining my experience across many Goodstart services.

Children have always been my passion and I am motivated to provide quality, to create spaces for children to feel safe, and to establish a pathway to joyful learning. I am a big believer in learning through play, purposeful interactions and nurturing relationships. All of these values align with our Key Educator Relationships approach.

Our families play a large role here at Success as we promote connections and feedback – families are our primary partners.
