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. 

Meet the team

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.

Both our 4 year old and almost 2-year-old have been attending here for over a year. We are very happy with the centre. The staff are all amazing and lovely, trustworthy, and thorough. The managers particularly Pavan are excellent to communicate with and take concerns very seriously, and we as parents and our kids feel very 'known' to all staff. We have a strong sense that our children are safe here. And the food is prepared by a proper chef, lots of real fresh fruit and so on. The outdoor space is large, leafy and well kept. They get programs and special educational guests in too. If you're looking for a very high quality centre, we shopped around a lot and are very glad this was our ultimate choice.

My son and daughter attended here ages 2-5 and they both loved it. The educators are so kind and fun, and the adminstration support from the office team was always very quick and helpful. Thank you.

Rij has the best customer service. He reached out to me and guided me with the enrollment and CSS process. As a full-time working and new parent, this has helped us preparing for what is expected of us to do especially when involving with financial requirements. Thanks Rij for the great service. Highly recommended this child care.

This centre has been amazing since our first day of orientation. The director is an absolute treasure, so warm and kind. The nursery educators have been nothing short of amazing with settling our little man, we're so grateful to all of them for everything they do!

All the staff are incredible, very caring and professional. They know every child as individuals and educators care about their interests and families. My childs educators were a massive support to us as we welcomed our second baby into to family, and they always have helpful suggestions and provide reassurance when I have raised any concerns about my child's development. The centre is always clean, warm and well equipped with age appropriate toys in each room. There is a large outdoor space as well as covered verandas so children get to spend a lot of the day outside! Children also have all their meals and snacks provided by a fantastic onsite chef. I can't recommend Goodstart Isaacs highly enough!!
