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.

If you’re like myself and thought that daycare isn’t needed because you stay at home, this centre has completely changed my view and comfortability of having my child in someone else’s care. I cannot thank the educators enough as well as all the ladies that work there for how comfortable, positive and inviting they have made my families experience so far. My daughter has never thrived so much with her speech, social skills and development from a 2 to a 3 year old since being at this centre. I called a year ago a few times to explore daycare as my anxiety was through the roof but there was no availability for a good 6 months maybe so enrolled my girl elsewhere and it was the worst experience for someone who already had reservations about daycare. I called Goodstart Brookwater again and finally they had availability. As soon as I walked in for the tour and met Kim the vibes were 100% more vibrant and inviting than others in the area I have experienced. Honestly, meeting with Kim an having her address my concerns regarding behaviours and engagement with children and others etc and seeing for myself the room, the energy of the educators with the children, I made my decision on the spot because I saw for myself the proof was in the room. My daughter is greeted with so much excitement everyday from administrators, to the in house cook and then in her room where she’s so happy to be. Even educators from the older kids room make effort with the younger children when they bump into us in the foyer or outside. I started my oldest in daycare at 2.5 years old and now I didn’t need to think twice about starting my 1 year old who will be starting next week who already thinks they go there. Haha What an amazing Centre at creating a culture whereby children will thrive and so much transparency is shown regarding our children’s development and day to day activities.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and love our daughter receives at this centre. From the moment we walk in, the staff greet us warmly and make her feel safe, supported, and valued. The educators go above and beyond—not just meeting her daily needs, but also encouraging her learning, creativity, and confidence. The communication is excellent; we always know what’s happening and feel reassured that she’s in the best hands. It’s not easy leaving your child each day, but knowing she is surrounded by such dedicated, caring professionals gives us complete peace of mind. We are truly grateful for all the hard work, patience, and kindness the team shows every single day.

Response from the owner 24 Sep 2025

Your appreciation means so much to us, and we’re grateful to be part of your family’s early learning journey!
