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 was very worried about sending my daughter to daycare after the negative experience I had as a child, so I was very picky about where I would send her. After touring many centres, we decided to join Goodstart Woy Woy's waitlist. We eventually secured a spot for her, and she is thriving at the place! The staff at Goodstart Woy Woy do an excellent job of updating parents about their child's day. They're also very caring, patient, and observant. I don't know how they have the energy to talk to me at the end of their days, but they always do, and they do it with a smile on their face! Goodstart Woy Woy is unique in that they have a "big area" aka a fun indoor playground where there's a big ball pit and tunnels to crawl around. I kid you not, my daughter said, "I hope we go to the big area today!" every morning before daycare for four months straight when she started! My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare! If anything, I struggle to convince her to come back home with me at the end of the day 😅 Any apprehension I previously had about sending my kids to daycare has been absolved by the wonderful experience my daughter has had here. My son will be joining her next year, and we are excited to see what new things he gets up to during his day.

The care and affection from the carers and support from all of the staff has been amazing. Our little one loves it there and has formed some great connections.
Thank you for your lovely review, Oriana! It’s so heartwarming to hear how much your little one enjoys their time with us and the connections they’ve made. We’re thrilled to be part of their journey and truly appreciate your kind words about our team!

My daughter has thrived here and has so much fun. She's made great friends and loves going. In particular Flavia has been really lovely and all the educators put a lot of effort to tell you about how the day went. I really love the app they use, they provide a little blog update everyday with pictures of what the kids are doing and explain what theyre learning. It's the highlight of my day. The staff are very consistent also which to me is really important. My daughter has learnt many great skills and was largely potty trained with their help.
