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.
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.
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.

All the staff are incredible, very caring and professional. They know every child as individuals and educators care about their interests and families. My childs educators were a massive support to us as we welcomed our second baby into to family, and they always have helpful suggestions and provide reassurance when I have raised any concerns about my child's development. The centre is always clean, warm and well equipped with age appropriate toys in each room. There is a large outdoor space as well as covered verandas so children get to spend a lot of the day outside! Children also have all their meals and snacks provided by a fantastic onsite chef. I can't recommend Goodstart Isaacs highly enough!! Read more

My eldest daughter started at Goodstart Early Learning Isaac’s when she was 2 (8 years ago) and we had such a positive experience that I didn’t hesitate to enrol my second child as well there. Now my 2.5-year-old is attending, and we continue to be so happy with the care, warmth, and dedication of the educators. It’s a safe, nurturing environment where both of my children have thrived. I truly trust the team and appreciate the strong focus on each child’s individual development. Read more
