Get To Know Us

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. 

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool 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:

  • Our programs are planned and led by qualified and experienced Early Childhood Teachers, in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework
  • Our programs have the tick of approval, meaning they meet (and exceed) Government guidelines around learning in the year before school
  • Strong connections with local schools support our extensive transition to school programs
  • We offer greater flexibility and convenience for busy families with longer opening hours, five days a week, 52 weeks of the year.
  • We offer 9-hour, 10-hour and all-day sessions.
  • Nutritious meals are provided throughout the day, so there’s no need to pack lunch boxes.
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.

I can't say enough about the amazing experience we've had at Goodstart Fernvale. From the moment we joined, it truly felt like a "home away from home" for my child. The educators here are exceptional—each one is caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about fostering a safe and nurturing environment for the children. What stands out the most is how the educators celebrate the uniqueness of each child. They take the time to understand their individual needs and strengths, tailoring their approach to help every child thrive. It’s so heartwarming to see my child’s personality celebrated and encouraged every day. Goodstart Fernvale is a small but special centre, where the educators are not just teachers, but mentors and friends. The sense of community here is like no other, and I truly feel that my child is valued, respected, and supported as they grow and develop. If you're looking for a quality childcare centre where your child can feel loved, supported, and celebrated, Goodstart Fernvale is the place to be. It’s been an incredible experience for us, and we’re so grateful to be a part of this wonderful community.

My daughter just started at Goodstart Fernvale this week and she absolutely loved her first day! When I picked her up the teachers were fantastic , giving me a full run down of her day. Not just the typical “she had a great day”. The teachers are a real credit to this centre. When I went for my tour they were happy to answer all my questions. In particular their way of handling my daughter’s allergies is far better than any other daycare I’ve spoken to. We’re looking forward to the fun filled days ahead, knowing my daughter is in a centre that truly cares about her & her development.

I've dealt with many daycares in my time as a Mum and now Grandma and I can honestly say none of them have come close to Goodstart Fernvale. This isn't just a daycare, it's a family and you honestly feel so at home here. Kelly the director is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble or effort and her caring, supporting and genuine nature shines through the center and the rest of the staff. The staff at this center are some of the most nurturing and caring I've ever met. Our grandson thrives at this center and never wants to leave to come home. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
