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.

They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.

We’ve had such a great experience with this daycare, with both of our daughters attending from nursery through to kinder. The educators are caring, friendly and genuinely love what they do. Both girls have been so happy here and have grown in confidence and independence. We’ve always felt comfortable knowing they’re well cared for and in good hands. Highly recommend :)

We’ve had a pretty good experience with the centre. The settling-in process has definitely been challenging for our son and we’re still having some emotional drop-offs, which is always hard as a parent. It’s not easy leaving when he’s upset, but the educators are always there to give him cuddles, comfort him and help him settle once we leave.<br><br>He’s formed some lovely bonds with his favourite educators, and they are absolutely amazing with him. It’s so nice to see the bond they have and how comfortable and happy he is with them. Seeing the photos they upload during the day of him happily playing and getting involved is really reassuring. It makes such a difference knowing that even though drop-off can be hard, he’s having a good day once we leave. When I pick him up, the educators will tell me what he’s been up to and how much fun he’s had, which I really appreciate.<br><br>I really like the little arts and craft activities they do for different holidays and occasions. The Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ones are especially nice because it’s something special for us to get that we haven’t had to organise ourselves!<br><br>It’s great having all of his meals provided too. I know he’s getting good, balanced food throughout the day without me having to worry about packing everything. They also provide a breakfast bar in the mornings, which he loves — he’s always happy to have a cheeky second breakfast 😂.<br><br>I’m looking forward to seeing him continue to grow and come out of his shell at the centre. The educators encourage him to get involved, play with the other kids and try new things, and it’s lovely seeing him become more confident and independent as he gets more comfortable.
