State Government Approved Programs
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.

Hello, my name is Leona Gordon and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Tallai.
I have been involved in the Early Learning Sector since August 2000 where I originally took on employment to fit in with my then, three young children. This led to a passion for ‘learning’ and ‘teaching’ where through my studies of the ‘Early Years Learning Framework’ I began to understand the importance of the first five years in setting strong foundations for learning and life!
I have had the privilege to work with all age groups and have been a Centre Director since December 2020. I love the opportunities offered by Goodstart to continue to learn and motivate others to learn.
I have three adult children and one young grandson and believe that if children are given the support and security to learn in a happy and loving environment, they will become an effective and valued member of society.
I believe that children learn from the minute they are born. They learn from their environment, their experiences, their feelings, and their interactions with the world around them! I believe in the importance of establishing secure respectful relationships and have a strong commitment to developing partnerships with all our families…feel free to call in to say hi, my door is always open!

Our family has had the most wonderful experience at Goodstart Tallai, and we are so grateful for the care, support, and education our daughter has received during her time there so far. From the very beginning, all educators made us feel welcome and my partner and I instantly felt at ease knowing our daughter would be safe and loved. Every member of the team has shown such genuine kindness and dedication, but a special thank you goes to Miss Lolli and Miss Gen, who have played such an important role in our daughters growth so far. Their warmth, patience, and genuine love for the children shines through every single day, and it is clear they truly care about helping each child feel valued, confident, and supported. One of the things we have loved most about Goodstart Tallai is how well the educators get to know each child as an individual. Our daughter has shown such growth in her personality, it’s gorgeous to see! All educators encourage her interests, and have helped her grow into a happy, confident little girl who absolutely loves going to kindy. As someone who loves gardening, I have particularly appreciated the beautiful outdoor spaces and the way the centre encourages children to connect with nature. Seeing my daughter get excited about plants, gardening activities, and outdoor exploration has been so special! The environment is thoughtfully designed and provides wonderful opportunities for children to learn, discover, and develop a genuine appreciation for the natural world. The communication from the centre has also always been fantastic, and we have loved receiving updates and photos that give us a glimpse into our daughters day. It is clear that so much thought, effort, and care goes into creating meaningful learning experiences for the children. Thank you to the entire team at Goodstart Tallai for everything you do. You have created a nurturing, supportive, and joyful environment that has made a lasting impact on our family. We will always be so thankful for the wonderful group of woman who make this centre so loving and special. We highly recommend Goodstart Tallai to any family looking for exceptional early childhood education and care.

We love Goodstart Tallai for so many reasons! Both of my little ones have attended since they were just 6 months old, and it's truly felt like a second home for our family. The staff are incredibly loving, warm, professional, and friendly—the perfect mix you'd want for the people caring for your precious babies. Every morning we're greeted with genuine smiles, and it's obvious how much the educators care about each child as an individual. While the building itself is older, the centre is always clean, bright, and welcoming. There's a warmth to the place that's hard to describe—it feels lived-in in the very best way. The walls seem to tell the story of generations of happy little learners who have played, grown, laughed, and made lasting memories there. Rather than feeling dated, it feels established, loved, and full of heart. Most importantly, our children have always felt safe, happy, and genuinely cared for, and as a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than that. We feel so lucky to have found Goodstart Tallai and would highly recommend it to any family. 🤍
