Get To Know Us

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool 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.

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool programs:

  • Our programs have the tick of approval, meaning they meet (and exceed) Government guidelines around learning in the year before school
  • Strong connections with local schools support our extensive transition to school programs
  • We offer greater flexibility and convenience for busy families with longer opening hours, five days a week, 52 weeks of the year.
  • We offer 9-hour, 10-hour and all-day sessions.
  • Nutritious meals are provided throughout the day, so there’s no need to pack lunch boxes.
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.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and love our daughter receives at this centre. From the moment we walk in, the staff greet us warmly and make her feel safe, supported, and valued. The educators go above and beyond—not just meeting her daily needs, but also encouraging her learning, creativity, and confidence. The communication is excellent; we always know what’s happening and feel reassured that she’s in the best hands. It’s not easy leaving your child each day, but knowing she is surrounded by such dedicated, caring professionals gives us complete peace of mind. We are truly grateful for all the hard work, patience, and kindness the team shows every single day.

Response from the owner 24 Sep 2025

Your appreciation means so much to us, and we’re grateful to be part of your family’s early learning journey!

We honestly have a great experience with Goodstart Brookwater. Our daughter is in pre-kindy now and the educators in the big kids’ rooms are amazing, a big shout-out to Kiran, Kulwinder, Tina, Miho and Saane for all the care and support they give every day. Our daughter absolutely loves coming in, and it’s so nice knowing they’re in such good hands.
