They put so much thought and effort into things like Mother’s Day celebrations and community events, and always take the time to follow each child’s interests and passions. Suyra is a wonderful director who leads with kindness and dedication. We’re so grateful for our 2nd family here!

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.

Absolutely outstanding care and communication at Good Start West Pymble. My daughter started in January 2025 after we moved her due to a lot of issues at her previous centre, and the difference has been night and day. Suriya and her team took the time to sit down with me, truly listen, and reaffirm every concern I had from past experiences. I’m admittedly particular (and can be difficult!), but they have exceeded all my expectations. I love that they’re intentional about bringing in only the best carers — it really shows in the daily interactions and the calm, nurturing environment. We’ve had no issues or reasons for concern at any point during her time here, which gives me so much peace of mind. The variety of activities is fantastic, from engaging daily learning to well-planned excursions and festive, seasonal fun that my daughter talks about nonstop. Highly recommend Suriya and her team — five stars without hesitation.
Hi Keren, thank you for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. We’re so glad to hear your family has had such a positive experience and that your daughter is thriving in our care. It’s wonderful to know you feel supported and confident in the warm, nurturing environment our team works hard to create every day. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation!

My son has been attending this childcare center since February, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! He absolutely loves coming here every day, and it’s heartwarming to see how much he enjoys his time with the educators. Every educator is amazing—so kind, patient, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being and development. A special mention to the center director, Surya—she is an incredible lady who knows and cares for every child as if they were her own. Her warmth, dedication, and passion for early childhood education make this place feel like a second home for the kids. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful, nurturing environment for our little one. Highly recommend this center to any parent looking for a loving and supportive childcare experience!
