About Goodstart Early Learning Magill - Penfold Road

Goodstart Magill - Penfold Rd cares for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years in a Hamptons style, homelike environment. Staffed by an expert team of dedicated educators, the centre focuses on nurturing the whole child with a curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. The educators ensure that the children develop in all key areas, including social, emotional, cognitive and physical.

The expansive outdoor playspace is a favourite among the children, with plenty of shade and engaging equipment. This includes an outdoor dining hub, chicken coop and beautiful wooden play areas. As they play, the children build their physical skills and also their social skills and early friendships.

The brand-new purpose-built centre features six separate indoor learning spaces, each with direct access to the inspiring outdoor area. The children are encouraged to explore and discover as they move freely between the indoor and outdoor spaces. This helps to promote healthy physical and cognitive development.

The centre has easy parking access and is close to schools and local shops. Why not book a tour of this warm and welcoming centre today?

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.

I'm extremely satisfied with this kindergarten. The front desk staff are always patient in answering my inquiries. The teachers who care for the children have all been at this school for a long time. They are familiar with the procedures, gentle with the children, and very reassuring. I would actively recommend this kindergarten to my friends' children.

Our kid has been attending for the past few months. The staff are friendly and engaged with the children, the meals throughout the day are good quality, and we get updates and photos. Our kid has a lot of fun doing activities he wouldn’t get to do at home.
