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.

About Goodstart Early Learning Horningsea Park

Welcome to Goodstart Horningsea Park

The purpose-built centre includes four aged-based playrooms, each designed with the developmental needs of the children in mind. For the children in the nursery, there is a separate sleep area to provide a calm and quiet sleeping environment.

The indoor and outdoor learning environments are well-resourced to cater to the different learning activities and styles of the children. From active and energetic group play to quiet, individual reflection or play, the educators have the equipment they need to support the children’s learning. 

Located within the grounds of John Edmondson High School, the centre is also close to Greenway Park Public School, Holy Spirit Catholic School and William Carey Christian School.

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.

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.--

We couldn’t be happier with our child’s experience at Goodstart Horningsea Park. The entire team truly goes above and beyond in everything they do. They’re incredibly responsive to feedback, genuinely listen to each child’s voice, and approach every interaction with warmth, compassion, and professionalism. What really sets this centre apart is how they cater to each child as an individual — nothing about their care feels “cookie cutter.” The educators are genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development, and it shows. Our child is absolutely thriving. Another standout is the remarkably low staff turnover. It’s a clear reflection of strong, consistent leadership and a well-supported team. This stability brings so much comfort as a parent and creates a secure, predictable environment for the children. The director is approachable, supportive, and always focused on what’s best for both children and families. We genuinely can’t thank the educators enough for their ongoing support, kindness, and compassion. We are so grateful to have found such a nurturing, high-quality service in our community. Highly recommended.
