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.

I cannot say enough positive things about Goodstart Early Learning in Alexandra Hills. My son has been attending this center for 3 years... I cannot say enough positive things about Goodstart Early Learning in Alexandra Hills. My son has been attending this center for 3 years now, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The teachers are absolutely wonderful - patient, caring, and dedicated to providing the best care and education for the children. My son had some trouble with separation anxiety during drop-off, but the staff at Goodstart were incredibly understanding and supportive. They worked closely with us to develop strategies to help him overcome this challenge, and I am so grateful for their guidance and expertise. What sets Goodstart apart is the sense of community and familiarity. Many of the educators are mothers of children at my older children's school, and I have known them for up to 7 years. This connection creates a family-like atmosphere that feels natural and comforting. I trust the staff at Goodstart wholeheartedly with my son's well-being and development. Overall, I highly recommend Goodstart Early Learning in Alexandra Hills. The quality of care, the dedication of the staff, and the sense of community make it a truly exceptional early learning center. Thank you to all the amazing educators for everything you do! Read more
