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.

Highly Recommend Pacific Paradise GoodStart, my nearly 4 year old has been here since she was in the nursery and now my 16 month old is in the nursery, we have been apart of the Pacific Paradise Good start family for a few years now between both children attending, The Staff are incredible and the centre Director is always there with open arms and an ear to listen. They have helped transition our daughter through sleep regression, tolieting and more. Our children love going and every morning they can't wait to get in the car and come. it will be sad when our journey with daycare ends, our children are safe and we feel at ease knowing they are cared for and loved. Thank you for always looking out for our babies when we can't!
Thank you, David, for sharing such a heartfelt review. We are delighted to hear that both your children have had such a positive experience at Goodstart Pacific Paradise over the years. It means so much to know that you feel supported and at ease, and that our team has been able to help through important transitions like sleep regression and toileting. We love seeing your children arrive each morning with such excitement, and we are grateful for the trust you place in us to care for and nurture them. It is a privilege to be part of your family’s journey!

Had a daycare worker ringing Child safety on me. She never seemed to want to go. I had a child care worker tell me she would loose her spot there if she didn't attend five days and be behind in school if I didn't take her every day. She had lots of Incidence there I had to sign off on.
