Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers.

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 twins started at Goodstart Kanahooka when they were 18 months old. They have just graduated and are off to primary school! We can not thank Goodstart enough for the love, care and support they provided to our children. Could not recommend this service highly enough.

Response from the owner 17 Feb 2022

Thank you for leaving us a nice review. We’re glad that your twins enjoyed their time at Goodstart Kanahooka. We put a lot of effort into making sure our centre is safe, nurturing and a place to thrive, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day.

I highly recommend Goodstart Kanahooka. We moved into the area and my son had to change daycares and the difference in care has been outstanding. They are so nurturing and genuinely try to get to know my son and us as a family. They work from a great framework for child development and I couldn’t be more comfortable with sending my children here. I love love how much they play!

My children have been attending Goodstart Kanahooka for almost three years. I cannot fault the care and service that we are provided with. My children have formed the most posiive and cherished relationships with all of the staff as well as the other children that attend the centre. The attention to detail is second to none as is there policy and procedures around uncertain times such as Covid-19. I simply couldnt ask for any better care for my babies and thank Goodstart Kanahooka for this.
