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.

I had a wonderful placement experience at Goodstart Chelsea Heights. Everyone was very kind, welcoming, and supportive from my first day.<br><br>A special thank you to Amy Stephen (Centre Director) for creating such a positive learning environment. I am especially grateful to my mentor, Kyli, for her guidance, encouragement, and patience throughout my placement. I also want to thank Lipi and Kim for sharing their knowledge and supporting me every day.<br><br>This placement helped me build my confidence, improve my skills, and learn so much about working with young children. I truly enjoyed being part of the team and appreciate all the support I received. Thank you for making my placement such a positive and memorable experience.

We have been supported from the moment I enquired about enrolling until the very last day before my child is off to Primary School. What a great three years we’ve had. Thank you to every single person at this centre. We will miss seeing everyone’s faces and positive energy in the morning! With love, the De Joya family.

We have had a fantastic experience at Good Start Chelsea Heights. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment. The staff have been incredible—always listening to our requests and making us feel comfortable dropping off our babies each time. It’s such a relief knowing they are in caring hands, and we’ve seen so much growth and happiness in them since joining. Thank you to the amazing team for everything you do!

An amazing centre with a superb, long-serving staff that bring you into the centre like one of the family. Our daughter has gone from strength to strength at Goodstart Chelsea Heights. We have seen her grow in her confidence exploring the yard and interacting with her other toddlers, and she is so well looked after by the brilliant staff. It’s a testament to how well she’s looked after when she is happy to be dropped off in the morning and they know her favourite breakfast. We feel we get a personal experience and can trust the centre with the care of our child. We hope to pursue kinder here also before starting school. Thank you to all admin and room staff, you’re all fantastic.
