The team at Goodstart West St have been like family. We had our son start at 10 months and continue until he started kindy. Our daughter started at 7months and continues there. The team are caring, communication great and they promote early education and healthy eating. They have been incredibly flexible and accommodated additional days at short notice which has been life saving for us as busy working parents. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

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.

We were back in Sydney for two months for the summer and Aayushma and her team welcomed us with open arms. The communication with management was always timely and any concerns or issues we had were addressed quickly. We also loved the large shaded outdoor area with the sandpit the kids could play around in for the older kids and the staff made a farewell poster for both the kids which was really really sweet. The only thing we wish they did have was tea/supper for the kids as we're used to that in London, but otherwise we can't fault anything!

Response from the owner 18 Feb 2025

Your positive experience brings us great joy! We pride ourselves on our staff's dedication to building safe, welcoming atmospheres, and strengthening bonds between families and children. Your positive feedback means the world to us; thank you for taking the time to express it.
