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.
Meet the team
Meet the team
Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.

Centre Reviews
We have had our kids at this centre for a while now and the educators and the centre have been great up until... We have had our kids at this centre for a while now and the educators and the centre have been great up until very recently. I would stay clear of this centre (will update if changes). There is an elderly female worker in there that me and others have kept their eye on as my daughter has first said she was scared of her. After hearing her arguing with another parent I stayed vigilant. After picking my children up and talking to this lady all she was doing was complaining about the children's behaviour. At this stage I'm thinking okay their is no way they are not gonna fire her if she can't handle these kids. Well fast forward again and I get heartbroken as I pick up my child who has said they have been yelled at and are BEGGING for water and has had an accident with their water bottle empty on a 38 degree day with that same elderly worker obviously ignoring my child (wtf??). Fast forward again and I've had enough so I start picking my children up early and doing suprise check in visits well what a suprise I come in early and there is that elderly bigger lady again standing over my child (have to be vague for their safety) then someone elses child got YELLED AT INFRONT OF ME by this elderly lady. I was gob smacked and the whole room went quiet those poor kids seemed petrified to say anything. Please the other younger girls who work their are absolutely lovely who genuinely care about my kids including the admin staff. Please for the mental health of the parents and the safety of the children please fire this person. As it stands I'm going to have to pull my kids out because if something even worse happens then I won't forgive myself knowing something was going wrong. Read more
