We’ve had a very positive experience with Pound Road Early Learning, since our son started attending since he was seven months old. As a first-time parent navigating early childhood education, I was looking for a service with qualified, attentive staff and a program that would support both social and academic development—and Pound Road has delivered on all fronts. This year he is attending the 4-year Kindergarten at Pound Road. The teachers are very Compassionate, professional, and genuinely attentive and engaged with the children. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and provide a nurturing environment that has helped our son settle in with confidence. The curriculum is structured yet playful, with a strong focus on early learning and school readiness. It strikes a great balance between academics and hands-on activities, which keeps the children both stimulated and happy. Overall, I’m very impressed with the quality of care and education at Pound Road. I would highly recommend the kindergarten programme to other parents looking for a supportive and enriching start to their child’s early learning journey and school readiness.

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 have been with Good start brand for about 8 years now. We couldn’t be happier with the exceptional care provided at this childcare centre. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed by an atmosphere that’s both professional and incredibly warm. The staff are not only qualified and attentive but genuinely easygoing and approachable, making every interaction feel personal and reassuring. What truly sets this place apart is their superb customer service—they consistently go above and beyond to communicate clearly, accommodate our needs, and make each day smooth for both parents and kids. Our child has blossomed under their nurturing guidance, and we’re grateful for the consistent support and positivity. Highly recommended for any parent seeking peace of mind and a team that treats your child as one of their own.
