State Government Approved Programs
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.
Sanja Hodak
My name is Sanja and I am a Centre Director at Goodstart Middle Park.
I started my journey in Early Childhood Education in 2003, as an Assistant Educator.
I have worked in many different roles in the Early Childhood space and in 2018, I became a Centre Director.
I believe that children are capable drivers of their own learning and, as educators, we learn alongside them. Through exploring their world and through interactions with others, children are able to learn about themselves, as well as the world in which they live.
I strive to provide a safe, warm, welcoming high quality early learning environment where children, their families and the team here at Goodstart Middle Park have a sense of belonging.
I am looking forward to welcoming you into our Middle Park community.

We have had such a wonderful experience at Goodstart. The educators are incredibly kind and genuinely care about each child. They have been especially wonderful during drop-offs, helping to soothe and settle my daughter when she finds it difficult to say goodbye.<br><br>My daughter speaks fondly about all of her educators and is always telling us about the activities she has done throughout the day. The engaging activities and educators have made her first experience in care outside of home such a positive one.<br><br>The admin staff are also incredibly friendly, informative and helpful. They always go out of their way to keep families up to date with payment changes, holidays, leave and everything in between.<br><br>I have nothing but high praise for the wonderful team at Goodstart. We are so grateful for the care, patience and support they have shown our daughter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a caring, supportive and welcoming environment for their child.

Wow, things have changed since I used a daycare! I visited this centre with my daughter-in-law who was looking around for a centre to place her baby. We were shown around by the friendly management to all the rooms. The whole place was buzzing with activity. All the children were happy and having fun while learning and the staff were enjoying it too. Everything about this centre is clean, bright and happy.
