State Government Approved 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. 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.

My son started the kindy program here 5 months ago and I could not be happier with the progress he is making. He loves attending daycare and it is so wonderful to see the lovely educators actively engaging with the kids.

Such a lovely day care for my kids to be looked after. Only positive things to say after my son has spent almost 3 years there, and now his little brother has joined the fun. I trust the team, my kids love them and they learn so much and do so many fun activities. 100% recommend

My daughter is almost 3 and has been at this centre for over one year. The educators are excellent and I couldn’t be happier with the care, support and education they provide my daughter. I highly recommend this childcare facility for its exceptional performance overall. Thank you Goodstart Early Learning Carina.

Our kids have been attending this centre for almost 4 years. The staff are absolutely amazing, we can’t fault them at all! The centre did decline in the last few months with the previous Centre Director and we were extremely unhappy. But now that Tracy is Director, we are back to loving it. Communication is great and the activities provided are wonderful (actual effort is going into making sure the kids are happy now - which is amazing and so appreciated, thank you Tracy!) Overall, Goodstart Carina is our kid’s home away from home. We never have to worry while they are there. The staff are warm, supportive, kind, considerate and excellent educators and we are so grateful. Thank you guys!! ❤️

My daughter has been at Goodstart Carina for a year now and we couldn’t be happier. The educators are so friendly, caring, and supportive, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. My daughter has grown in confidence, made wonderful friendships, and always looks forward to her days there.
