Goodstart Early Learning Parkdale

We believe in providing a nurturing and supportive environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential. Our philosophy is centered around the following principles:

1. Child-Centered Approach: We recognize that each child is unique, with their own interests, abilities, and learning styles. Our programs are designed to cater to the individual needs of each child, fostering their holistic development – socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.
2. Play-Based Learning: We believe that play is the cornerstone of children's learning. Through play, children explore, experiment, and make sense of the world around them. Our play-based curriculum encourages creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills.
3. Respect and Inclusion: We value diversity and respect the rights, cultures, and backgrounds of all children and families in our community. Our center provides an inclusive environment where every child feels welcomed, valued, and supported.
4. Partnership with Families: We recognize the importance of building strong partnerships with families to support children's learning and development. We encourage open communication, collaboration, and involvement in the life of our center.
5. Qualified and Caring Educators: Our team of dedicated educators are committed to providing high-quality care and education. They undergo continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest research and best practices in early childhood education.
6. Safe and Secure Environment: The safety and well-being of children are our top priorities. Our center maintains high standards of hygiene, safety, and cleanliness to ensure a secure environment where children can explore and learn with confidence.
7. Sustainability and Environmental Awareness: We promote environmental sustainability and teach children to respect and care for the natural world. Our center engages in eco-friendly practices and activities that foster an appreciation for nature and a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
8. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to ongoing reflection and evaluation to continuously improve our practices and programs. Feedback from children, families, and educators is valued and used to inform our decision-making process.

By embracing these principles, we strive to create a nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive learning community where every child can flourish and succeed.

At Parkdale, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our early learning centre offers a Government-funded kindergarten program and long day care under the one roof. Our kindergarten teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.

Discover the heart of your child's day with Goodstart Early Learning's innovative approach. Through our exclusive StoryPark app, we bridge the gap between home and our center, fostering a seamless partnership between educators and parents.

With StoryPark, educators capture precious moments, uploading photos and stories securely for parents to access anytime, anywhere. It's more than just updates – it's a window into your child's growth and development.

At the core of our philosophy lies a strong belief in collaboration. Our educators work hand in hand with parents and carers, cultivating trust and building lasting relationships. By fostering this partnership, we ensure every child feels secure and supported in their learning journey.

Every observation matters. Our educators keenly observe your child's progress, tailoring our programs to their unique needs and interests. Through regular updates and feedback loops, we keep you intimately connected with your child's development, empowering you to contribute meaningfully to their educational journey.
