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.

Hi my name is Jennifer and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Pacific Pines.
I have been working in the childcare industry and with Goodstart Early Learning for over 19 years. I love every aspect of my role and believe that Early Childhood is a valuable and unique stage in the life cycle, in which I feel that every child should be provided with a safe, healthy and nurturing environment, providing opportunities no matter what race, gender or age for the children in our care.
I am a mother of two young children, and believe that being a mum has helped me see the children in my care from a parents perspective and value the input from each and every family at our centre.
I welcome you to attend our centre and meet our amazing team of educators. Please feel free to stay for a play and explore our learning environments.Choosing the right service for your family, where you all feel comfortable, safe and secure is so important and I hope we can become your home away from home.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and when a new family starts at Goodstart Pacific Pines we do everything we can to become a part of that family’s village.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Goodstart Pacific Pines highly enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br><br>Our daughter started attending in August, and we’ve had such a wonderful experience. As a parent, leaving your little one in someone else’s care can be quite daunting, but the amazing educators have made the whole experience so much easier.<br><br>Our daughter absolutely loves daycare and has the most amazing time! It’s so reassuring knowing she’s spending her days somewhere she’s happy, comfortable and genuinely cared for.<br><br>A very special mention to Miss Kinjal, Miss Disha, Miss Grace and Miss Sam, who are our daughter’s main educators. They are all absolutely wonderful, and we’re so grateful for the kindness, patience and care they show her.<br><br>While our daughter initially used to happily toddle off at drop-off, she’s recently decided she’d much rather stay with Mum! 😂 The educators are always so lovely and comforting when she gets upset, taking the time to reassure and settle her. Those little moments mean so much, especially when leaving your baby can already be emotional.<br><br>The entire team is so welcoming, and it’s clear how much effort goes into creating a happy, nurturing environment where the children can learn, play and grow.<br><br>Seeing our daughter enjoying herself and knowing she’s in such good hands means the world to us. Choosing a childcare centre is such a big decision, and we’re genuinely so glad we chose Goodstart Pacific Pines.<br><br>A huge thank you to all the wonderful educators for everything you do. Your hard work, patience and dedication certainly don’t go unnoticed! ❤️<br><br>We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend the centre to other families.

So grateful to have found this centre! The educators are fabulous and have been so nurturing to our 2 children. It’s been beautiful seeing how confident and happy the kids are here. Will have no hesitations when our 3rd starts here next year ☺️

From the moment we walked in when I was pregnant we have felt welcome. The staff go above to make sure the kids feel safe and have a great time. They update photos throughout the day, which we absolutely love. Definitely recommend this centre

We are so grateful for the team at Goodstart Pacific Pines. They are so warm and caring. Our girl absolutely loves it there and we can trust that she is in great hands. We really appreciate the updates they give us every day. Special shout out to Kinjal, Disha and Grace for their amazing work.

We cannot speak highly enough of Goodstart Early Learning Pacific Pines. Ellie has attended this centre for the past 2.5 years, and from day one the entire team has been absolutely incredible. It takes so much trust to leave your child in someone else’s care, and the team at Goodstart Pacific Pines truly feel like an extension of our family. Ellie comes home every day happy, settled, and clearly feeling loved and supported. One of the most special things about this centre is the consistency of staff. There is very little turnover, and many educators have been there for years. That continuity creates such a safe, nurturing environment for the children and gives parents an enormous sense of reassurance and belonging. The educators genuinely care, they know the children so well, and it shows in everything they do. We feel so grateful to have been part of such a warm, stable, and loving community and cannot recommend this centre highly enough to any family looking for exceptional care. We are going to miss them so much now as we head off to BIG school! Thank you to the entire Goodstart Pacific Pines team for everything you do ❤️
