About Goodstart Early Learning Pendle Hill

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Pendle Hill is a welcoming 38-place facility nestled in a quiet residential area, conveniently located near local schools and shops. Our dedicated team of seven educators, including a Centre Director, two Group Leaders, three Assistants, and a Cook, is committed to providing high-quality care and education. All our educators hold Food Handlers Certificates and current First Aid Certificates.

We offer a diverse program tailored to the individual needs of each child. Our Kindergarten and Preschool rooms are designed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, featuring sensory and play-based learning opportunities in colourful, stimulating environments.

Our Storypark platform, alongside regular family nights and newsletters, fosters open communication with parents, allowing us to customise programs to reflect each child's unique interests and strengths, embracing the cultural diversity within our centre.

Outside, children can explore age-appropriate play spaces equipped with a dry riverbed, log cabin, chook pen, vegetable patches, and sandpits, all promoting sustainability awareness. We enrich learning through community incursions, inviting local professionals like police officers and firefighters to discuss important topics with the children.

We celebrate milestones with a Preschool Graduation night, an End of Year Celebration, and individual birthday recognitions, honouring each child’s uniqueness. Our educators are committed to continuous professional development to stay abreast of current legislation and educational trends.

At Goodstart Pendle Hill, we see ourselves as a family and look forward to supporting you and your child on their early learning journey. Enrol now!

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.

Both my children started their childcare experiences at other centres. Moving to Goodstart Pendle Hill has been a welcome change. The setting may not be as new and flash as some other centres, but this can't be replaced by the staffing team. The level of care and knowledge they have for each child cannot be faulted. Staff aren't afraid to have difficult conversations - they do it in a way that's respectful and constructive. For our family, the team have been a second home to my children. As full-time working parents it's such a comfort to know that the team at Goodstart Pendle Hill will care for your children as much as you do.

Response from the owner 11 Jan 2024

Building strong connections between families and children is at the core of what we do, and we're grateful to have you as a part of our Goodstart Pendle Hill family. Your trust in our centre is deeply appreciated, and we're enthusiastic about the ongoing opportunity to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for your children.

Both my children; one who is now almost 8 and younger one who is almost 5 have had wonderful chapter at Goodstart Pendle Hill starting when they were barely 2. The centre has always been up to the highest standards in regards to hygiene and safety which was I was looking for the first time I had to find a place for my son. They have been accommodating and generous to my children. The carers are very caring and knowledgeable starting from Vasi, Ellen, Theresa, Jasmine to new educator Miss Veena. They have been there from the beginning. Lee-Ann always kept us up to date and now Miss Fiona has taken over and bringing wonderful changes to the centre. My kids definitely miss them all and so do I. Thank you Good start 😊
