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.

We’ve been part of the Goodstart Kanimbla family for just over three years now, with both of our boys attending, and we couldn’t speak more highly of our experience with them.<br><br>The team are absolutely amazing. Every educator across the different rooms and both centres has been so kind, caring and genuinely invested in our boys’ happiness, development and wellbeing. It’s reassuring knowing your children are not only being well cared for, but are loved and supported by the people looking after them each day.<br><br>We’ve really appreciated is the high standard of care. The facilities are always clean and well maintained, and it’s clear that the children’s safety and wellbeing are a top priority, reflected in their policies, procedures and ongoing updates. A lot of the educators have been there for many years too, which says a lot about the environment they’ve created.<br>We also love the emphasis on outdoor play, and the wonderful variety of activities and learning experiences the team puts together for the kids.<br><br>We’ve watched both boys learn, grow and thrive during their time here. It really feels like an extension of our village, and we couldn’t ask for a better place for our boys to attend. We have nothing but wonderful things to say and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a nurturing, supportive and caring childcare centre.

My two kids have been at goodstart Kanimbla since 10 months old and they have loved every every room they have been in. The place is clean and resourceful, the educators really get to know the kids and my kids have loved all their educators. They even ask about them on the weekends! The ladies in admin are helpful and respond super quick! Could not recommend this centre enough!
