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.
Ellie Zamani
My name is Elnaz (Ellie) and I’m honoured to serve as the Centre Director of Goodstart early Learning Blackburn- Springfield Road.
I have been in education industry for over 20 years and my journey has been deeply rooted in the belief that every child deserves a strong foundation to grow, learn and thrive.
I completed my bachelor’s degree in science in 2002 and started my career in teaching. Over years, I’ve had an opportunity to work with various educational professionals, attend specialized training programs and found my passion in Early Childhood Education, so I completed my Diploma in early childhood education in 2015 and that has further equipped me to lead and nurture this centre to the best of its potential.
At Goodstart Blackburn-Springfield rd, our mission is to provide a holistic, enriching, and safe environment for all the children. We focus on a balance approach, where cognitive, emotional, and physical development go hand in hand.
I believe all children are capable individuals with their own thoughts and ideas and love to see children’s own personalities grow and develop whilst in our care.
I take an open leadership approach in which I encourage all the children, families, and team members to come together and collaborate to make decisions. I’m always available to discuss any questions or ideas you might have about your child’s growth and learning experience.
Together, we can create a safe and supportive community that will enable the young citizens to flourish.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
