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 have had a wonderful experience with Goodstart Early Learning Thornlie. We have 3 children — one has already completed their time there, and our other 2 are still attending. The educators are caring, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The leadership team is excellent and has created a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where children feel happy and comfortable every day. One thing we really appreciate is that the centre is very well staffed, which means the children receive plenty of attention, care, and support. The educators have helped our kids not only academically, but also with important everyday skills such as toilet training, eating habits, manners, communication, confidence, and independence. We could clearly see how well they prepare children for school and for interacting with others. The communication with parents has always been great, and the staff are always approachable and supportive. I would highly recommend Goodstart Thornlie to any parents who are still deciding whether to send their children to childcare. Our family has had a genuinely positive experience, and we are very grateful to the entire team for the care and dedication they show every day.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so grateful for your trust in our centre and for choosing us to be part of your children’s early learning journey. It’s incredibly meaningful to hear about your positive experience across all three of your children, and that you’ve felt supported by our educators and staff and leadership team. We’re so pleased to know your children feel happy and comfortable each day, and that you’ve seen such strong growth in their confidence, independence and everyday skills. Supporting children in both their learning and development, as well as preparing them for school and life, is at the heart of everything we do. It’s also lovely to hear that our communication and supportive approach has made a difference for your family. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about our team.
