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.

I transitioned my eldest to Goodstart Burke Street from our city daycare when I was pregnant with my twins in 2021. Sarah and her team made the transition smooth and easy for me as a soon to be busy mum of three. When my twins started and I went back to work I was supported with drop offs and pick ups as staff assisted me with my children getting safely into the car. I built relationship’s with familiar staff who were kind and caring everyday. In my experience staff truly make an effort to get to know the children they are caring for and I feel at ease as a mum - the girls always have a wonderful day and have made beautiful friends with carers and children in their rooms. My eldest has continued her care moving into the 4 year old kinder room at Goodstart and is now more than ready to start her Primary School journey next year. My twins have blossomed and formed strong bonds with their carers. My experience has been positive and welcoming and would recommend Burke Street to all parents needing access to childcare in Warragul. 💛✨🌼 Read more

My eldest hadn't been in care for nearly 2 years and my youngest had never been. The centre has been incredibly warm welcoming and accommodating throughout their transition.

Between our two children we have been with Goodstart Burke Street for 6yrs, and in that time I cannot fault the care and early learning through both the childcare and kindergarten programs that our children have received.

I have done many centres across many children and I cannot speak more highly of Sarah and her amazing team. My daughter recently started at the centre in Feb, in what was due to be a part time structure, but due to a other circumstances needed to be ft. My daughter had never been in care before and had been with mum everyday since born so dropping her in a strange environment with strangers was always going to be a huge challenge. The girls here have been amazing and taken it day by day with my daughter, letting her adjust to things and educators at her own pace. We have now been at the centre for 10 weeks and I wouldn't recommend any other centre, I know the struggles in the area for care... but this is definitely one centre, one set of staff that are worth the wait list for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOODSTART BURKE ST. Read more
