About Goodstart Early Learning Onkaparinga Rise

Goodstart Onkaparinga Rise offers a warm and friendly atmosphere for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years. The children develop their independence, self-expression and confidence, guided by skilled and passionate educators. Under their care, the children lay the foundations for social, emotional and cognitive skills that will set them up for success in life. 

The welcoming outdoor space has a range of age-appropriate activities and resources for the children to enjoy as they play in the shaded yard. These include a wooden boat and a sandpit. While they play in this space, the children work on their physical and gross motor skills, also developing early friendships as they play alongside their peers.

Indoors, the children have access to a wide range of resources. They are free to explore their existing and new interests, doing so in an interactive and immersive environment. The rooms are light and bright, thanks to large windows that allow natural light to flood into the building. 

The centre is conveniently located near schools, shops, public transport and has a large on-site car park available for easy drop-off and pick-up times. Why not book a tour of this caring and engaging centre today?

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.

My child started attending Goodstart Early Learning Onkaparinga Rise when she was 5 months old. She will be turning 2 years old next month and we have seen so much improvement in her development. The staff have been incredibly supportive and have played a big role in helping her grow and learn; from crawling and walking to developing her vocabulary and learning new words. We are very grateful for the care, guidance, and encouragement they have provided throughout her early learning journey.

One of the best childcare centres and teams of educators I have come across. Both of my children attended this childcare centre, and I couldn’t be happier with the care, support, and learning opportunities they received. It has been wonderful to see how confidently and positively they have grown and developed. I cannot thank the staff enough for their dedication and commitment. Knowing my children were in such safe, caring, and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my work and provide for my family. A special thank you to Kim, Jasmine and the entire team for their enormous support, kindness, and genuine care over the years. Your hard work has made a lasting difference in our family’s life, and we will always be grateful. Regards, Sameena

I highly recommend Goodstart Early Learning Onkaparinga Rise. The center is always very clean thanks to their daily cleaning service at the end of every day. It’s lovely for the kids to come into such a fresh space every morning. They also have high-quality equipment and stay on top of maintenance by replacing furniture before it gets old. It’s clear they take pride in the environment they provide for our children.

Very supportive staff to both children and the whole family, and everyone is very welcoming. Both my children have attended since they were 5 months old through to starting school. The chef provides yummy nutritious meals and always has something to offer which is very comforting as my eldest was a picky eater. My youngest was supported very well when she had her strong emotional moments and this was always communicated to me if she was having both a good day and struggling day.
