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.

Goodstart Red Hill is a treasure, tucked away at the edge of Red Hill/Ashgrove. The team there have created a wonderful space for children to thrive, that's inclusive and captures the curiosity of young learners. The connection to nature is awesome, with the weekly nature walks and community garden. My son has flourished at this centre, making great friends and developing his confidence and skills as he prepares for 'big' school next year.

We are so grateful to have had all 3 of our children attend this centre. We love the focus on the kids, bringing out their creativity, meeting their needs, providing great experiences like the nature walks. It is so reassuring to leave my kids at a place where I know they are happy, well cared for, given healthy food, are challenged to learn & develop skills & have fun. The staff are AMAZING, thank you!

Can't recommend Goodstart Early Learning Red Hill enough! Beautiful place, amazing carers, nature walks and great food provided. My daughter started daycare at 7 weeks old and joined Red Hill only 6 months ago at 2yo: after experiencing a couple of other centres, we found the perfect place for her and she loves it! Carers are always here to have a chat and help in any situation!
