Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers.

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool programs:

  • 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.

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 couldn’t be happier with the lovely team at Goodstart Horningsea Park. It’s clear that everything they do is in the best interest of the children, and they consistently stay up to date with current developments and regulations. We really appreciate how transparent they are, the training and professional development happening behind the scenes is regularly shared through the community portal, which gives us a lot of confidence in the team. Marie, Hannah and every single educator at GSHP are extremely supportive towards the families they continue to show up daily for. One thing that stands out is the low staff turnover. Seeing the same familiar faces every day creates a strong team dynamic and most importantly, provides consistency and comfort for our children and families. From day one, we’ve felt genuinely supported. Any concerns we’ve had have always been addressed thoughtfully, both privately and within the community portal, which also helps support other families who may feel hesitant to speak up. What we love most is their commitment to diversity and inclusive learning environments. Every child and family feels a true sense of belonging, and it’s so important to us that our children are growing up in a space where inclusion, respect, and understanding are part of everyday learning. Highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing and professional environment for their children.

We have had an amazing experience at Goodstart Early Learning Horningsea Park. Miss Marie is extremely professional, caring, and dedicated as the Director of the centre. The care and learning program for our child has been thoughtfully tailored to suit his individual learning style and developmental needs, which has made a noticeable difference in his confidence and growth. We feel very supported as a family and trust the educators completely especially as a long day care provider of 10hrs. We highly recommend this centre to any parents looking for a nurturing and high-quality early learning environment.

A wonderful centre, lead by a rockstar Director Marie with her fab 2IC Hannah, who get to know all the kids personally, and run the centre perfectly. All of the educators are so warm, invested in child development and treat the kids with dignity and respect, so thankful to have chosen Goodstart Horningsea Park for my boy.

Goodstart Horningseapark has some excellent educators. I would like to specifically commend Nighat and Veena from the preschool room. They are kind, compassionate, passionate, and genuinely interested in caring for the children. Our preschool graduation celebration was well coordinated and organised, and above all, it was a true team effort. Marie, the centre director, was actively involved and orchestrated the event beautifully. Thank you all for making it a memorable experience. I truly appreciate your efforts.--
