Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
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.
Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. 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.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Goodstart Darch. From the very beginning, the team has made our daughter feel safe, loved, and excited to come to daycare each day. The educators are incredibly caring, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children’s development and wellbeing. The communication with families is excellent, and it’s always reassuring to see the wonderful activities, learning opportunities, and special moments our daughter enjoys throughout the day. The centre has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and it truly feels like a second home for our little girl. Watching her grow in confidence, make friendships, and learn new skills has been amazing, and we are so grateful to the entire team for the love and support they show her every day. Thank you to everyone at Goodstart Darch for creating such a positive and caring environment. We highly recommend this centre to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

We are very happy with the care and support our child receives at the centre. The educators are attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. One thing that really stands out is the stability and experience of the team. It is reassuring to see so many long-term educators who clearly know the children well and create a safe, welcoming, and consistent environment every day. Their dedication, patience, and genuine affection. A special thank you for all educators from Nursery 1 and Nursery 2. We truly appreciate the effort and commitment of the entire team and feel grateful to have our child in such caring hands.

I can’t speak highly enough of this daycare. My son started in the nursery and has absolutely thrived under the gentle care and guidance of the nurturing educators. The centre is warm, welcoming, and bright, with a clear focus on safety, communication, and high-quality early education. Each day, you leave with complete peace of mind knowing your child is in the very best hands.

My daughter has attended for the last 3 years and now my son is attending. We moved house (not too far away) but I did not want to look for a new centre. The staff genuinely care and are very helpful when i have questions about my child's development, and management have always been really supportive and worked with me when I've had questions or concerns. Great staff = great care. Thank you

Really great centre! My daughter has been going since 5 months old and is now 2.5 and I couldn’t fault them at all. The educators are very caring and friendly and you always feel welcome.
