Goodstart Early Learning Kealba

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.

Hello there, my name is Aiche Baf, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Kealba.

I have been working in the childcare sector for seven years and hold an advanced diploma in children services.

I strongly believe that the first five years of a child’s life are the most essential years in terms of their growth as it will have the biggest impact on their overall development. It’s a time when they are open to learning about themselves and others, and are keen to explore and understand the world around them. In these first five years the child’s brain is working so hard in creating the foundation for all future behaviour, health and learning.

The team at Goodstart Kealba, have a great passion for working with children and we strive to cater to each child’s individual needs, and aim to provide them with a safe and secure learning environment that allows them to reach their developmental milestones.

At Kealba, we are all inclusive, and all children and families are welcome.
