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.

Our son has been attending since he was 3 months old. I have always felt like his various educators genuinely care about him and he is generally happy to go to school each day. Over the years, any concerns or queries I have had, have been addressed promptly. We love that the centre is small and it really does feel like we matter!

I have been here since middle of 2019, with recently starting my 4th child at the centre. The staff are like family to myself, my husband and my children. They have been my “village” whilst raising 4 young kids with no immediate family within hours. The staff are caring, understanding and genuinely care for each and every child. Considering my weekly wage only pays daycare, I couldn’t imagine my money going anywhere else. To the lady below, I am so confused as to how you came to that assumption when you yourself said that you don’t even have a child enrolled. The box below requires you to actually having a child at the centre…. I have been sending my babies there since they were 4-6 months old, I trust them with my life.

It means the world to us that you share this praise, and we truly appreciate the trust you've placed in us to care for your family. Thank you also for your kind words about StoryPark. We believe in the importance of including families in those special learning moments, and it’s wonderful to hear that you appreciate the effort we put in. Thank you for your 5-star review!
