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.

I had my daughter attend from the age of two until last year, and my son has been there since he was six months old and is still currently enrolled. It was only after my daughter finished that I fully realised how genuine, caring, and dedicated the staff are — something I regret not recognising sooner. Even after children leave the centre, there is a genuine interest in their continued growth and success as they transition into primary school, which reflects the level of care and commitment from the team. The environment is supportive, safe, and positive, and it is clear the staff truly care about each child and their development. I would highly recommend the Eight Mile Plains centre to any family.

Goodstart Eight Mile Plains is a lovely centre. We always feel welcome. There is a sense of family with long term educators and centre director guiding our children with genuine care. Both of my children have been through the centre and they love it. The team keeps us updated on routines and progress and are just a kind, friendly, caring group of people always going the extra mile to create a safe and fun learning environment.

My older daughter has been attending Goodstart EMP for over 2.5 years, and we recently enrolled our younger one as well. We’ve had such a great experience here. The staff are always friendly, caring, and easy to talk to. Both of our girls are very happy and love going each day, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We’re really grateful to the team and would happily recommend this childcare to other families.

I’ve been with Goodstart Eight Mile Plains for the past eight years, and both of my children have been cared for there from just 4 months old until they started school. It has truly been like a second home for our family. The staff are absolutely wonderful — warm, friendly, and consistently welcoming. My kids have always loved their educators, and we’ve always felt supported in every way. Whether it was settling in as babies, navigating different stages of development, or needing help with anything along the way, the team has always gone above and beyond. The environment is nurturing, safe, and full of positive energy. Every educator we’ve met has been kind, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and learning. We are so grateful for the care, love, and support we’ve received over the years. I highly recommend Goodstart Eight Mile Plains to any family looking for a centre that truly cares.
