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.

My daughter started at this centre when she was 8 months old and sadly had to leave when she was 22 months old due to moving, the time my daughter spent at goodstart thornlie which little over a year she enjoyed going everyday when she was booked in she loved engaging in the activities they had planned. She enjoyed being outside playing with other children and the educators are caring and meeting the needs of the children the come into the centre, the centre is bright clean and they always keep you up dated on what your child has done for the day even call you if there was an incident that involved your child or if child became ill.

Response from the owner 04 Sep 2025

Thank you, AnnMarie. We’re so pleased to hear your daughter enjoyed her time at Goodstart Thornlie. It’s wonderful to know she loved the activities, outdoor play, and the care she received from our educators. We’re also glad that our communication helped you feel supported and reassured while she was with us. We’ll certainly miss her smiling face, and we wish you and your family all the very best in your new chapter!
