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.

This is a wonderful centre with many dedicated staff who have been there for years. I think this itself shows just how special this centre is. Our eldest has gained so much confidence and learned so much from the educators in the pre school room. We can see how much this will benefit his transition to kindergarten and school. We have been so happy with our decision to send our eldest to this lovely centre and will soon send our youngest here too.

Response from the owner 21 May 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear your eldest has grown in confidence and is well-prepared for the next step. It means a lot to know you’ve felt happy with your decision, and we look forward to welcoming your youngest soon too!

We have been part of the Goodstart Clapham family for almost 4 years now with both our kids. We truly can’t fault the staff here. They are an extension of our home and having been preview to all three rooms over our time at the centre, we have seen that the kids’ journeys have been consistent in the level of care and education that they receive. I would highly recommend putting your name down on the list if you’re even considering Goodstart Clapham!

My husband and I are so happy to be part of the wonderful Goodstart Clapham community. When we were looking for a local childcare option for our little boy a friend couldn't speak more highly of the educators here, and from the start we have been blown away with how kind and caring they are. It's a huge decision to trust others with your child each day, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The facilities, the meal options and the team are all great — our son loves going each day and has learned so much already.
