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.

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.

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.
