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.

A centre like no other! Even with a tour, it’s hard to get a vibe of a ‘good’ centre, no matter what rating they are. But after meeting Fatima and the leadership team after a tour, having a few orientations and commencing enrolment, we just knew we found our second home. Our third year in to Goodstart Reservoir, we wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. Small service but a homely family feel service. My daughter absolutely loves her teachers, comes home with many stories about her day and what she learns and most importantly, all the delicious foods she has eaten! Thanks team Goodstart Reservoir- absolute best!

From the moment my daughter began her journey at Goodstart Reservoir, it truly felt like a second home. Mila absolutely loved attending each day and always looked forward to seeing her teachers and friends. She learned so much through the care, guidance, and dedication of her educators. The centre itself is always welcoming, nurturing, and inviting, creating such a beautiful environment for children to grow and feel safe. A special mention to the centre director, Fatima — she is absolutely amazing. Always caring, supportive, and so helpful. We are incredibly grateful for everything the team at Goodstart Reservoir has done for my daughter.
