We have had good and positive experiences with goodstart kurri, we receive at least weekly updates on their learning in their rooms, educators always give you a rundown of they day on pick up, food is provided along with charts of what they have had. They run great learning experiences and activities. The facility itself is outdated sure , though the same educators are always there for the children and their ability to do everything and anything is not compromised.

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
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 Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.
Lyn MacGregor
Hi! My name is Lyn and I’m the centre director of Goodstart Kurri Kurri. I have worked in Early Childhood education for 22 years, gaining a lot of experience and knowledge along the way. I have worked in many leadership roles including Room leader and Assistant Director.
I have three children of my own and three grandchildren. I am very passionate about the early years and the importance of providing a nurturing care environment. The years leading up to Kindergarten are what shape the next 11-13 years of education. My philosophy is that learning begins at birth, and that all children should have access to high quality education and care.
Our centre is all about positive interactions with children and building on their social and emotional development. Communication is important to us and we strive to build strong relationships with our families. We understand that as a parent or carer, you play an important role in your child’s education, and we work together with you to provide the best start for your child.
I’d love to meet you and your family, come in for a tour and a chat with our friendly team here at Goodstart Kurri Kurri.

We’ve joined Goodstart at Kurri Kurri recently and I cannot recommend Goodstart enough! I get a great vibe from the centre, the staff are great and most importantly my child is happy when going there. It’s fantastic peace of mind knowing that my child’s in good hands.

My daughter attended this centre for 3 1/2 years and unfortunately the last 12 moths prior to us moving to another centre has been a horrendous experience. High staff turnover have had a large impact on our children there. The area manager is very unhelpful especially when there has been so many Centre Directors or lack therof in the last 12 mths. The lack of communication is huge when there are direct impacts that parents need to be aware of. I had such concerns that I made formal complaint to the Dept of Education as I felt as though Goodstart did not want to listen to my concerns.
