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.

The team at Goodstart have been absolutely fantastic. Our daughter has been going since she was one, and she loves going there and coming home with all her creations. All the educators have been wonderful to deal with.

Goodstart Roxburgh Park and all its staff especially Guida and Rebecca played a detrimental role in my daughters early childhood care. I cant thank them enough for the support they provided me and my kids! My daughter loved going there every day and we even followed Rebecca from her old place of work because we loved her so much. Can't recommend the staff there enough! Was so happy with my time there and felt happy my kids were in great hands!

My daughter has been coming here since she was one year old, and it has truly become her second home. She gets so excited to arrive every morning, and the joy on her face—and the wonderful stories she tells me about her educators—says it all. What more could you want for your child? We couldn't ask for a better place!
