About Goodstart Early Learning Raceview

Goodstart Early Learning Raceview is a welcoming childcare and early learning centre where children can explore, play and learn in ways that reflect their individual interests and strengths. Located close to Raceview State School, Silkstone Village and major transport links, our centre is conveniently positioned for local families.

Our experienced educators are at the heart of our centre, with most having been part of the team for more than 10 years. This creates familiar, consistent relationships where children feel secure, supported and confident to learn.

Children have access to large natural outdoor play spaces where they can move, investigate, create and follow their curiosity. Our child-led, play-based approach allows educators to build learning around children's interests while supporting their social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

We also value cultural inclusion, with educators who speak Punjabi and Hindi helping families feel welcomed and connected. Our Kindergarten program supports children to build confidence, independence and the skills they need as they prepare for school.

At Goodstart Raceview, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued and encouraged to explore. We work closely with families to support each child's individual learning journey and celebrate their progress along the way.

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.

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.

Goodstart Early Learning at Raceview was the third child care centre that I had contacted and the second centre to tour since starting the search for a child care centre for my son. From the very first conversation, right through to the everyday drop off/pick ups, the staff are absolutely amazing, always so welcoming and friendly. They have the upmost care of every single child in their care as if they were their own. All activities are fun and educational. I cannot fault the educators, they are absolute superstars. My son has learnt so much in just over a year that he’s been attending and he has an absolute ball every single day. I’m so glad I chose Goodstart at Raceview for my son’s early learning!

A centre obviously determined on brainwashing small kids with political activism. Staff members giving touring parents looks with utter contempt on their faces due to the a certain uniform they're wearing. Very glad we didn't choose to send our child there.

As parents to Amarah who has been attending this centre for the last 2yrs ++. We, as parents are so happy, grateful and very much thankful for all the educators and staff who looks after her, teach, feed and provide a happy safe environment that makes her feel safe and enjoy her day to day time while learning and making friends with other kids. Thank you so much. The centre and the educators allows and helps her develop and express her creative side while happily enjoying at the same time. She’s always looking forward to go in the centre to see her friends and play. Thank you again.
