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.

Five stars without a doubt! Our experience with Goodstart Prospect has been exceptional. From the warm and nurturing staff to the engaging activities, our children have flourished here. The facility is clean, safe, and well-equipped, providing a stimulating environment for learning and play. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our children receive every day. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a top-notch daycare! We absolutely love our children attending here! Our children have thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the garden and looking after the chickens!

My children attend Prospect Good Start and I have nothing but positive feedback to give. They are caring, understanding, welcoming and always go above and beyond. My daughter has learnt so much from attending. I know my kids are in good loving hands when I drop them off. The staff are incredible. Thank you for proving the best care for my kids.

My children have been attending Goodstart Early Learning Prospect Vale for three wonderful years, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The team at Goodstart is truly amazing; they go above and beyond to ensure my children feel safe and supported every day. I love that my kids are always engaged in hands-on learning, whether they're playing in the dirt pits, learning about Aboriginal culture or discovering fascinating facts about bugs and the world around them. It's been such a joy to see their curiosity and confidence grow during their time at Goodstart. We love you all! 💗

After having had a poor experience at another child care centre in Launceston, we made the decision to change to Good Start Prospect. Immediately it was a totally different experience. Our daughter LOVES going to care here and is always talking about her educators and friends, which shows she is comfortable and happy in her environment. We are so pleased we made the change!
