We are extremely happy with Goodstart North Ryde! Every educator here is responsible, caring, and friendly. My son started in the nursery when he was 15 months old and settled in within just 2–3 weeks. Now he is almost two and absolutely loves going to childcare. He enjoys spending time with his educators(especially Laima, Vicky, and Tracy) and playing with his friends. We can clearly see his progress in many areas, and we are very grateful for the educators’ dedication. Highly recommended!

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.
Echo Li
Hello, My name is Echo, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart North Ryde.
I am delighted to work with the children, families, and educators at Goodstart North Ryde. I hold a Master of Teaching (Birth to 5 years) from Western Sydney University and a Bachelor of Media from Macquarie University.
With over eight years of experience in the Early Childhood sector, I've had the privilege of working with children and families across all age groups. I am passionate about my job and dedicate significant time and energy to it. My teaching philosophy is deeply influenced by Jean Piaget's theory, which emphasizes that cognitive development involves constructing a mental model of the world, not just acquiring knowledge.
As a Centre Director and Early Childhood Teacher, I understand the profound and lasting impact of early years on children and families. I am honored to be part of this vital work.
At Goodstart North Ryde, we pride ourselves on providing a supportive and inclusive environment for children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. We cherish a love of learning in a welcoming setting that nurtures each child's unique personality.
My team and I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Thank you, Bella, for your kind words and recommendation. We’re so pleased to hear how smoothly your son settled into the nursery and how much he enjoys his time at the centre now.
