We have been with GoodStart for 5 years with 3 children going through pre-kindy and kindergarten. They go above and beyond to create a community, and offer so many support services. Every single member of staff over the 5 years has been wonderful - kind, welcoming, and EVERY time we come I see educators actively playing and engaging with children in the yard. They tailor learning experiences to the children's needs and interests, introducing them to academic concepts in ways that they enjoy. We moved away, and even though there are many daycares that are more convenient we couldn't justify giving up such an excellent centre. Can't recommend them enough.

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.

Poor service not recommended to anyone. I picked my daughter up a few minutes late they couldn't get a hold of me, I gave them my new number they didn't update my new phone, they said next time I pick my kids up late they will call child safety on me. It was the daycares fault not me I gave them my new number they didn't up date it, and turn around and said next time they can't get a hold of me they will call child service on me. Very poor service.
