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.

We are so grateful for the experience our daughter had at this daycare through to the end of kindy. The educators were caring, supportive, and played such an important role in preparing her for school, both socially and emotionally. The director was outstanding and truly the heart of the centre. She was incredibly dedicated, approachable, and committed to creating a nurturing, well-run environment for the children, families, and staff. Her leadership made such a positive difference and gave us complete confidence every day. As our daughter finished kindy, we could clearly see how well prepared and confident she was for the next chapter. We’re very thankful for everything this centre did for her and would highly recommend it to other families.
Thank you for your heartfelt review, Gabby. We are so grateful for your beautiful feedback and for trusting our centre to support your daughter through to the end of kindy. It means so much to hear that she felt supported socially and emotionally and that she is moving on feeling confident and prepared for her next chapter. Creating safe, welcoming environments and supporting every child’s early learning journey is at the heart of everything we do, and your words truly reflect the dedication of our educators and staff. We feel honoured to have been part of your daughter’s journey and truly appreciate your wonderful recommendation.

"I would like to take this privilege to convey my thanks to Priya, Nikki, Annie, and other team members. I was initially worried about how my daughter would cope with a new environment, as kindy is her first learning setup. Surprisingly, she has done really well. She has started to improve her communication skills, and whenever I need detailed information, the staff is always ready to provide it, which I really appreciate. The educators are very attentive and never miss an opportunity to get to know the children and their families better. It is one of her favorite places to be due to the great family environment."
Thank you, Serin. We’re so pleased to hear how well your daughter has settled into kindy and that you’ve felt supported every step of the way. It’s lovely to know that Priya, Nikki, Annie and the team have helped create a positive experience for both of you. We're grateful to be part of her learning journey and appreciate your kind words.

We have had an amazing experience at Goodstart Kedron during the year or so we have been there, since our little boy started in the nursery. His educators have created a safe, friendly & warm environment within both of the rooms our little boy has been in, where he has been able to form healthy connections with key educators & his peers. Priya & the rest of the leadership team have created a positive, friendly & nurturing atmosphere, they really make the effort to get to know all the families, they are very communicative & responsive.
Thank you, Jess, for sharing your experience. We are so pleased to hear how much your little boy has thrived at Goodstart Kedron. Our educators and staff are passionate about creating a safe, warm, and nurturing environment where children can build strong connections and feel truly supported. It is wonderful to know that Priya and the leadership team have made such a positive impact on your family's early learning journey. We look forward to continuing to be a part of your son's growth and development!
