I recently completed a 10-day placement at Goodstart Early Learning – Bendoran Crescent, and it was truly a rewarding experience. The educators are passionate, professional, and incredibly supportive. A special thanks to Semeel and Breanna for their guidance—your mentorship made a lasting impact on my learning journey. What stood out to me most, beyond the high-quality teaching, was the strong focus on children's safety and wellbeing. The centre is thoughtfully designed with see-through glass windows and partitions, which not only promote transparency and supervision but also create an open, welcoming space for both children and educators. The environment is warm, inclusive, and highly engaging for young learners. I felt very fortunate to be welcomed into such a positive and secure setting, and I’m excited about the opportunity to return as a volunteer and continue learning from this amazing team. Highly recommended for families and professionals alike looking for a nurturing, safe, and educational environment for children.

State Government Approved Programs
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.

A Truly Exceptional Childcare Centre Words can hardly capture just how phenomenal this centre truly is. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that every member of the team is deeply passionate about what they do. Each team member brings their own unique energy, strengths and personality, which creates such a rich, welcoming, and nurturing environment for the children. This centre is so much more than just a childcare, it truly feels like a home away from home. The genuine care, love, and commitment shown by the staff go far beyond expectations. The atmosphere they’ve cultivated radiates positivity, and you can see the impact it has on the children every single day. It’s a place where kids thrive, feel safe, and are genuinely happy. Our child is thriving here — happy, confident, and supported every step of the way. The difference this centre has made in our lives is immeasurable. We can’t recommend it highly enough!
Thank you for your beautiful and heartfelt review, Stephanie. It means so much to hear how welcomed and supported your family feels. We’re so glad your child is thriving in an environment that feels like a home away from home. Your kind words are a wonderful reflection of the care and dedication our team brings to each day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and ongoing support!

My son has been at Goodstart Bendoran Crescent for 8 months now and he absolutely loves it. The educators really care about the kids and getting to know the families, and the team is responsive, approachable and flexible. I love the regular StoryPark updates! The smaller and quiet location means it doesn’t get overwhelming and they can have excursions to the nearby Gresswell Reserve. I highly recommend this centre.
