About Goodstart Early Learning Narellan Vale

Goodstart Narellan Vale provides quality care and education in a positive environment to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Experienced educators lead a play-based curriculum and intentional programs that meet the children’s individual interests and needs. As a result, children are well supported in their learning journey to become confident and ready for the big step up to school.

Outdoors, the children have access to natural and manmade play areas. Sandpits, rock gardens, a water channel, a vegetable patch and a dirt pit are designed to instil an awareness of the environment and sustainability. Landscaped gardens and shaded areas are welcoming features while the children play, run and explore the different activities and equipment on offer. 

The indoor spaces open up many learning opportunities for children at the different stages of their development. Books, maths resources, educational games and an art space help to grow active, inquiring minds.

Conveniently located next to Narellan Vale Public school, the centre is close to shops. There is a bus stop a short walk away and a car park at the front of the centre to help with drop-off and pick-up times. Why not book a tour of this welcoming and comfortable centre today

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. 

Meet the team

After a difficult experience at our previous centre where my safety concerns weren’t taken seriously, enrolling my child at Goodstart Narellan Vale was the best decision we could have made.<br><br>From day one, the team put all of my worries at ease. Every educator greets us with a genuine smile and clearly cares about the children in their care. Their communication is always open, honest and consistent, which gives me so much confidence knowing my child is in safe hands.<br><br>One thing that really stands out is the low staff turnover. Seeing the same familiar, friendly faces each day has helped both my child and our family build strong, trusting relationships with the educators.<br><br>The team is always accommodating, approachable and willing to go above and beyond. I truly feel that my child is valued, supported and cared for every single day. I couldn’t recommend Goodstart Narellan Vale highly enough to any family looking for a nurturing and trustworthy early learning centre.

I had both my children attend Goodstart Narellan Vale and i can not recommend them highly enough. All the staff are so dedicated to the children and it always shows. The centre has such a welcoming vibe, my kids would run inside at drop off and i knew they were in safe hands all day. The low staff turn over was a bonus as we always had the same similar faces for years my kids became so comfortable and built amazing relationships. The educators felt like family. Can not fault the centre at all! xx

Have nothing but good things to say about this centre. My daughter started a few weeks ago and she's been loving it. You can tell the carers here love their job and are great with my daughter.
