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.

We’ve had such a great experience at Goodstart Armadale! The staff are so welcoming and always go above and beyond to make both the children and parents feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and full of positive energy. It’s clear that the educators genuinely care about the kids and create such a fun, nurturing environment.

We were devastated to leave early this year, but I came back to write a review to call out a few special staff members. My daughter is very selective of people she will go to and always has been. We started in the nursery room, where Marie was wonderful, making sure she stuck to our routines, happily following our home based routine of nursing to sleep and attachment raising style. Then we moved through the rooms and in the toddler room Danni was amazing (sorry if I spelled wrong!) Danni was always very non-fussed by little meltdowns, listening to my daughters worries and happy to distract during troublesome drop off's, distracting my LO with her favourite book to make the transition easier. Next we moved on to the 3yr old room, Richa is the toddler whisperer! My daughter still talks about little chats she had with "my beautiful Richa" no matter how upset my child was at drop off, Richa was there with a warm hug, a very secure "it will be OK, we will have some fun" and a great distraction. Finally we were in the 4yo kindy room. My daughter and my life weren't able to transition to a school based kindy, so we stayed. Shannon was fabulous, always accommodating of my daughters quirks and needs and made my daughter feel safe and supported. At the end of the day the kids are in the yard playing together which gives the kids the chance to spend time with educators from different rooms so they can maintain those connections which is also fabulous and sets them up for school. The centre was very accommodating throughout of my choice to use cloth nappies and also very accommodating of my daughters picky eating, including serving my child's food up separated amd encouraging her to try new foods and even assemble her own food (like make your own pizza) to encourage her to try new things. Belinda is also fabulous and gets to know each family and genuinely cares about the kids in her centre. A big thankyou to the wonderful staff (including those not named!) You all helped make my daughters transition from full time with family to full time school a success. Definitely 5 star review for care, attention to detail and value for money (as they do provide meals and nappies and still accommodating family preferences and needs)

We were initially very nervous about sending our son to daycare, when we had our orientation with Belinda she was very accomodating and gave my wife and I so much confidence in the centre and the staff. Our little guy has been a regular for nearly a year and he absolutely loves it, we regularly see updates come through our email with stories and photos of what they get up to and never doubt that he has a great day with plenty of learning and fun. The staff are amazing and we love to see how excited our little boy gets to see the team as well as the little friends he’s made. I sincerely hope we can continue to send him here up until he’s ready for school as he has such a good time when he’s there.
Alex, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that your son enjoys his time with us, and to hear how excited he is to spend time with our team. It's wonderful to know that he's made friends and that you appreciate the updates we provide. We look forward to continuing to support his growth and development!
