Get To Know Us

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool 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.

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.

All 4 of my kids have passed through this professionally, outstanding, caring and exceptionally well managed facility over the past 4 years. We have seen the best people come and go, we have heard the most ridiculous complaints. But overall, I have never had anything but praise for the loving and compassionate people at this learning centre. The photos and updates throughout the day are a treat, but to know they are focusing on the kids learning and progress, even in the nursery, is exemplary. Even if I ever did have a complaint, I have complete faith that my concerns/issues would be heard and I would be comfortable coming forth with them, as I know the staff actually give a damn about each one of my/all kids in their care. Doesn't happen very often. :)

The staff here are lovely, and very accommodating. They update and inform us of our baby activities and let us know of any concerns, which helps us get through the day knowing our lil boy is taken care. Honest and sincere. Our little baby doesn't cry at most drop off, and when pick up comes, he seems very content which I take it as he has good days here. I'm so glad this daycare is nearby and my baby attends it.

Response from the owner 29 Dec 2023

Thank you Maryane for your heartwarming review! We appreciate your kind words about our staff's care, honesty and sincerity. Providing a nurturing and secure environment is a priority for us, and we're thrilled to hear that it helps you feel reassured about your little one's well-being throughout the day. We're grateful to be part of your child's early learning journey, and we look forward to continuing to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for your little boy.
