I absolutely love sending my son to Goodstart Ingle Farm. He has been attending for over a year and a half now. When we first migrated to this city and country, he was very reluctant to attend childcare given everything was new and off course, separation anxiety it being his first school. But now, he loves going, and I could not speak more highly of the educators. A special shoutout to Jas and Paige in Pre-Kindy, who are incredibly nurturing. Every day begins with a warm, friendly welcome at the front desk, which truly sets the tone. With the team’s ongoing support, I was even able to transit him out of diapers, a milestone I achieved only because of their support. Last year, Ashleigh, Asha, Dharna, and the entire Toddler Room team did an exceptional job helping him settle in when he was still adapting not only to English language but also to a new cultural environment. Their patience and dedication made all the difference. The centre also does a fantastic job keeping families informed on Storypark : from upcoming events and news to learning journeys, weekly wrap-ups, and detailed daily routines. I always feel updated and connected. Most importantly, I feel completely safe, supported, and at peace knowing that my son is cared for by such a beautiful, child-centred service under the wonderful guidance of Kelly and Mel. Goodstart Ingle Farm has been an absolute blessing!

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
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.
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.
