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.

Hetal Mehta
Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Robertson. My name is Hetal and I am the Centre Director. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services and have been in the industry for 9 years. My time in the industry has allowed me to work across all early learning age groups.
I believe the first five years are the most important in any child’s development and I take great pleasure in helping today’s young children to develop the skills to become the strong, independent leaders of our future. I believe effective communication between families and staff is vital so I encourage the families at this centre to have a voice, share their ideas, and join in the learning with their child. As a mum myself I am passionate about strong social and emotional development.
I aim to create a fun-filled, caring, playful multicultural, and interesting environment for all children to feel comfortable to be in and to have fun learning at the same time.
Our devoted team and I strive to provide the highest quality care to all of the children who attend our service. We believe that trust, respect, and consistent communication form a strong partnership with families.
We respect and support the role of families and their involvement and participation is essential to ensuring continuity, a high-quality program, and progression in a child’s learning and development of future success.
We invite you to come and visit our centre to meet our team and to see for yourself our commitment to your child’s early learning journey.
I look forward to meeting you and your child.
