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.

体验非常差，1️⃣我儿子去了两个月有一天开始拒绝去这里，从家门口开出去转弯就开始哭，到了childcare门口哭闹严重，哭闹半小时也坚决不肯下车。问起来他说“老师骂人”“老师坏坏”。当我当面告诉room leader我儿子不肯来的时候，她的心虚表情让我更肯定他们没有善待我儿子 2️⃣里面的老师会因为咬人大声吼我儿子，有一次刚好去接的时候看见了。 3️⃣里面有个老师非常不负责任！ 强烈建议辞退！！enrollment的时候我只是跟她说了语言治疗师一岁多的时候说过我儿子语言delay， 入学时候已经2岁了， 我儿子正常并且没有得到任何确诊，她直接和其他老师说我儿子有问题。 并且有一次向我要材料的时间用非常嘲笑的语气说“他的理解能力” 我感到非常困惑。且不说儿科医生和专业机构以及另一个child care的老师都说我儿子根本没有问题， 在澳洲三岁之前都不能对任何孩子下定论，真的让我觉得莫名其妙，直到有一天我去问room leader才知道她们一直因为这个老师得到关于我儿子错误的信息。 这个传话的老师我请问是你的脑子有问题吗？ 你的理解能力才有问题吧，就你这种人还当老师？ ！ 4️⃣教室的窗户全部用黑黑的布挡起来，从外面看不到里面。整个就像一个封闭的幼儿园，当你接孩子的时候， 有老师看见家长会赶紧跑进去给里面的老师通风报信。 如果你的孩子还不会说话，真的不建议来这里，里面的老师都很mean， 整体氛围也很紧张

My child has been attending this centre for several years, and I have always felt completely safe leaving her in the care of the educators. The team is caring, professional, and very supportive. The educators communicate well with me about my child’s development whenever I ask and always provide helpful advice. My child absolutely loves coming to the centre and comes home happy every day, excited to share what she has learned and played. I am very grateful for the care my child receives here and would highly recommend this centre to other families.

A wonderful childcare centre with caring, dedicated educators who create a warm and nurturing environment. Our boys especially love the beehive in the community garden, which has sparked their curiosity and helped them develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature. We’re so happy with the positive experiences they’ve had here.

My children attended this centre all the way through, and we have just finished our journey here. We are incredibly grateful for the care, support, and dedication shown to our family over the years. The educators truly know and value each child, the environment is warm and welcoming, and communication has always been open and respectful. We couldn’t have asked for a better start for our children and highly recommend this centre to other families.
