State Government Approved Programs
Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
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.
Belinda Moore
Hi there, my name is Belinda and I am the Centre Manager for Goodstart Cranbourne East.
I have been actively engaged in the Childcare and Early Learning sector since 2001. I hold a Diploma in Children’s’ Service and Community Services and also trained as a neonatal support worker. Throughout my years in this ever changing industry I have supported many services, teams, families and children.
I believe that with a holistic approach to education and care, positive outcomes for all children and families can be achieved. By understanding the whole child, community and family, future learning is nurtured, allowing growth for children to become involved, confident, self-aware and to realise their potential. Building strong authentic connections is valuable within the service community and gives all that are connected to our service a sense of belonging.
I have had the joy of managing the Cranbourne East service for 10 years with a team of professional educators that are passionate about quality care and inclusion. With over 150 years of combined knowledge we maintain a home away from home environment for educators, families and children.
I look forward to meeting you and your family soon.

Very good service with an amazing team. Both of my children attended this service, and I’ve always found the educators to be incredibly caring and supportive. My daughter absolutely loves going, especially because she has such wonderful educators like Simmi, Meeta, Daljit, Baljit, and Navjot. They treat every child with patience, kindness, and genuine affection, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents. The environment is warm, welcoming, and well‑organised. The team communicates clearly, keeps us updated, and always makes sure the children feel safe, happy, and engaged. I truly appreciate the effort they put into creating meaningful learning experiences every day.

We are very grateful for the care and support our child receives here. My son is non-verbal, and the educators have been very patient, understanding, and supportive of his needs. They genuinely try to engage him in different activities and make him feel included and comfortable. The team has also been incredibly helpful in supporting us through the NDIS process and helping arrange 1:1 care for him. Their guidance and care have made a big difference for our family. We truly appreciate the kindness, dedication, and effort they show every day .

I am given feedback daily on how his educators are supporting him and I am able to see his routines and educational learning he is participaing in. Thank you Goodstart Cranbourne East for providing a welcoming, fun, nuturing and safe space for our family.
Thank you for your heartfelt review! We’re so grateful for the trust your family placed in our centre during such an important stage of your child’s early learning journey. We understand how emotional those early transitions can be for families, and it’s wonderful to hear our educators and staff have helped your son feel safe, secure and nurtured through building strong relationships and providing ongoing support. We’re also so pleased that the daily communication and updates help you feel connected to his routines and learning experiences throughout the day. Creating a welcoming, engaging and supportive environment for both children and families is at the heart of everything we do, and we truly appreciate your kind words.
