Inside, bright, airy playrooms boast calming natural elements to complement the inspiring outdoor play area. The children are encouraged to explore their passions through play-based learning.

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.

Our son started at Goodstart Belair when he was 8 months old. Most parents will understand how daunting it feels to leave your baby with strangers while you head to work, but Goodstart Belair has allowed our family to work and live comfortably with peace of mind knowing how loved and well cared for our son is. Within a very short period, staff felt more like family than strangers. The centre has a warm and inviting feeling from the moment you step inside as you are welcomed with a friendly smile and hello from Admin and/or the Director. The menus on rotation are incredible! They are nutritious and diverse. Daily activities encourage learning in all aspects, it is clear to see how much the children enjoy them through the storypark app. Our son has grown in every single way since he began, including his confidence and his ability to go to anyone comfortably. We cannot thank Goodstart Belair and the beautiful staff enough for becoming part of our family, allowing us to return to work knowing our baby is safe, happy and loved. Thank you Team xoxo

They have made both myself and my child feel well cared for by all staff from admin to the class care staff. Helping to work with us and make a smooth transition to start and continue here. Working with us for the best outcome and comfort. I have felt we have both been support as the team have gone above and beyond to make sure we feel happy, supported and confident. My child comes home happy and improved in their abilities with the strong developmental encouragement they offer and the positive environment and care given.
