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.

The staff are beautiful, kind, understanding and so warm and welcoming to children. They are also very accommodating to children’s needs and issue and always happy to sit down with parent to discuss anything they can do to help them overcome.

I have no obligation to make this review, but I thought it would be handy to advise that the staff here are incredibly nice and helpful. As a Learner Support Service Case Manager I often see students at placements get pushed to the side, however, everyone here understands that helping placement students in turn creates a better and thriving environment for the children. They put in so much effort to ensure that the children here are looked after and treated with care and respect, as well as have their best developmental interests in mind. Truly above and beyond.

Hi Lane, we definitely understand your concern as we are committed to the safety of the children in our care. I would just like to clarify that the child’s EpiPen was located in an emergency bag in the Kindy room while the staff were waiting for the First Aid box to be fixed to ensure it was easily accessible if needed. If there was an incident where the EpiPen was required and it could not be located immediately, our staff would call an ambulance. There was no incident that occurred, but I understand that when the child’s mother came to pick up the EpiPen, there was miscommunication about where it was located as the staff member from the Nursery who was asked to locate it didn’t realise it was in the emergency bag. Once she spoke to the staff in the Kindy room it was clarified. Please be assured that we take safety seriously – our staff are all first aid trained and ensure that the medical needs of each child are taken into consideration every day.
