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.

Over the past 18 months, our experience at this centre has been deeply disappointing, and I feel compelled to share it so other families can make informed choices. Safety Concerns: Once our daughter began walking, she had frequent and sometimes serious falls — including hitting her head on concrete due to poorly placed equipment. At 14 months, we even found her standing alone on an adult chair. At one point she had 5 bruises on her face from various incidents. These incidents raised serious questions about supervision. Understaffing: We regularly witnessed non-compliant staff-to-child ratios, once seeing just two educators with 15 babies. Things only improved after I made a formal complaint. Sun Safety & Clothing: Despite repeated concerns in the summer, our daughter was often found outside with no hat, and was photographed in full sun without a hat. Paint-stained clothing (that could not be removed) was almost daily — smocks were never used, despite claims they were “offered.” Security Lapses: My mum picked up our daughter many times before the centre ever questioned her identity — a major security oversight that should not happen. Food & Snacks: The food was disappointing — mostly store-bought. Excessive afternoon crackers also interfered with dinner. Requests to limit them were ignored. Other Concerns: • Inappropriate use of pens on my daughter’s hands by educators • Poor hygiene — often picked up without shoes/socks (even in winter, picking her up with freezing feet) or with wrong socks • Adult bandages used on sensitive skin despite warnings due to bad reaction • Rude and careless admin — an error on our exit date caused us to lose CCS for a week While some issues may seem minor, the constant accumulation over 18 months revealed a serious lack of care, poor management, and little willingness to improve. We’ve since moved to another centre.

My son has been attending this childcare centre for the past year, and the care they provide is amazing. They regularly conduct different learning activities and keep us updated on his progress. We can definitely feel the warmth of the staff as soon as we walk into the centre.

My little one has been attending Goodstart Rostrevor since he was 7 months old. All educators are nurturing and supportive that gives a peace of mind that he is in good hands. It is amazing to see my little one's growth each day, particularly language skills (as he is bilingual at home). Within the centre, they provide "play based learning" which helps my little one to building on his natural curiosity and imagination.

Response from the owner 24 Dec 2024

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful review, Yehyun! We’re so happy to hear that you feel peace of mind knowing your little one is in such caring hands. It’s wonderful to witness their growth, especially with their language skills, and we're thrilled that the play-based learning approach is supporting their natural curiosity. We truly appreciate your trust and kind words, and we look forward to continuing this journey with your family. It’s a joy to see their progress and be part of their development!
