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.

Families considering this centre should be aware of some management issues. The rules often feel designed for the centre’s convenience rather than adapting to children’s needs, with little flexibility for their betterment. Staffing is inconsistent, with educators in rooms changing frequently. This disrupts children’s stability and leads to poor communication, meaning parents often receive incomplete or incorrect updates. Incident reporting is also a concern — some injuries aren’t documented, and even when reports are made, parents are not always informed due to internal rules, which is worrying. We also found some educators, and even the Director, to be rude and defensive when questioned about their strategies. Instead of open discussions, we often felt dismissed. After nearly 4 years at the centre, the ongoing mismanagement and lack of openness built up to the point where we had to withdraw our child mid-year for their wellbeing. The centre also sets rigid expectations and struggles to support children who don’t meet them, rather than helping them grow with patience and encouragement. Overall, while there may be positives, the poor management, weak communication, and defensive culture make it hard to feel confident in the care provided. Children deserve a supportive and transparent environment, and I hope this centre works on those areas.

Response from the owner 03 Oct 2025

I couldn’t be happier with the care my kids receive at Goodstart Kellyville Ridge. The staff is incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being and development. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed into a warm and nurturing environment that truly feels like a second home for our little ones. The facilities are clean, safe, and equipped with a variety of engaging activities that keep the children excited to learn and play every day. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, balancing structured learning with plenty of free play, allowing my kids to explore their interests and develop important social skills. Communication with parents is outstanding, with regular updates and photos that make us feel connected to our child’s day. I’m especially impressed with how the staff tailors their approach to meet the individual needs of each child, ensuring they feel supported and confident. Goodstart Kellyville Ridge has exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment for their kids.

The staff at this centre is amazing and genuinely care for the children. The centre is well-kept and the playground is a good size and has enough features for children to play with. The administration team is also amazing - responds to enquiries promptly and tries to assist you as much as they can. Highly recommended :)
