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.

I have had my little girl at goodstart for a couple of years now, and have always loved the level of care and commitment to child safety and wellbeing. After an injury at home, my daughter was welcomed back with very caring and compassionate arms, the team rallied together to adapt the menu for her so that her nutrition needs were being met, accommodating for the healing injury, as well as adapting to her additional speech requirements during the healing period. I have always loved the open communication with my daughters educators, keeping me well informed of her day to day, and showing clear personal connections with her. We really love the team at Goodstart Albany, and the centre itself with amazing play, learn and grow spaces. We will be sad to say goodbye when it’s time for full time school.

All the educators show genuine care for the children they have in their rooms and build meaningful relationships with both the children and their families. Milestones are celebrated enthusiastically, activities are designed for development and the environment is always welcoming. Its so reassuring to see my little ones excitement when they get out of the car each day.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Erin. We are delighted to hear how much genuine care and connection you feel from our educators and staff and how excited your little one is each day. Creating a welcoming environment with meaningful relationships and engaging learning experiences is at the heart of what we do. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in our centre!

All three of my children go to Good start Early Learning in Albany. My eldest has been struggling with going to daycare for a while now and the school have been super accommodating in supporting her. Pre-Kindy Educator, Sarah has been particularly amazing going above and beyond by even writing a take home book for my daughter to support her transition from home into the classroom.
