State Government Approved Programs
Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
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.

As a first time mum returning to work, the most daunting aspect was leaving my daughter in daycare. From the moment we were on the waiting list, I can't fault the team at Goodstart Early Learning Bayswater North. They kept in touch with me while I was on the waitlist and were incredibly welcoming and supportive through the orientation process. From day 1 entering the centre it was a friendly vibe with happy and welcoming educators. I am so incredibly grateful for our experience here. It has been a wonderful year for my daughter in the nursery and the care from Belinda as the Centre Director who always makes time to answer any questions, to the amazing educators in Raylene, Allie and Izzy, it is such a joy for my daughter to excitedly talk about daycare and know that these wonderful educators genuinely care and go above and beyond for the kids. I couldn't speak more highly of the centre and the staff here.
Thank you, Katie, for your thoughtful feedback. We understand how big the step is to return to work and place your child in care for the first time, and it means so much to know you’ve felt supported throughout the journey. We’re delighted to hear that your daughter has settled happily and that the team at Goodstart has helped make the transition such a positive one. Your kind words about the centre director and educators will be shared with them, and we’re so pleased your daughter is thriving and excited to come each day.

All 3 of my children have gone to this centre and 2 still do, I couldn't recommend them more! they are such caring and lovely people! They build such a beautiful connection with each family and truly care about each child's learning experience :)
Thank you, Stephanie, for your wonderful feedback. It’s such a privilege to have cared for all three of your children, and we’re so pleased to know that you feel supported and connected with our team. Building strong relationships with families and creating positive learning experiences for every child is at the heart of what we do. We truly value your trust and kind words!
