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.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Goodstart Regent Street. The staff have been incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive with both of our children, specially Priscilla and Jess. Moving from other centres can be stressful, but the transition was handled so smoothly and professionally, which made the whole process so much easier for our family. It’s clear that the educators genuinely care about the children and create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment. Our kids settled in quickly and are always happy to attend, which gives us great peace of mind as parents. We’re so grateful to the amazing team for all the love, patience, and dedication they show every day. Thank you lovely and caring educators for your kindness Highly recommend!
