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.

I’ve had all three of my children attend Goodstart in Narellan since 2015, and I can honestly say they have been nothing short of amazing. The educators are caring, patient, and truly invested in each child and their happiness. My kids have always been excited to go, and it’s such a great feeling knowing they’re in a safe and supportive environment. The communication is fantastic, the activities are engaging, and the consistency in quality over the years has been incredible. It really feels like a second home for our family. I’m going to be really sad to leave when my youngest is school ready in 2027. Thank you to the whole team—you’ve played such a big part in my children’s early years, and we are so grateful. Highly recommend!
