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.

They have made the transition for a new working Mum, a much easier experience. My girl was only 4 months when we took her in, due to the cost of living and as much as it was a challenging experience to drop her off, the team at goodstart have always been so supportive and have made sure our girl is happy and well looked after. They will take my call at any time of the day to check on her, and they are always so informative of what she has been up to that day. Miss Rachel and Miss Dan in the nursery are simply the best and couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Read more

We have loved the caring and nurturing environment that both of our boys have experienced from all of the educators from Nursery right up to Kindy! Janet and the team are extremely supportive and really go above and beyond to build a family feeling that everyone can be a part of. My kids eat veggies at daycare so I can’t argue with that 😁 Read more

Due to work relocation I needed to move my daughter from another Goodstart Centre. After the experience with her previous centre I knew I wanted to stay within the Goodstart Chain and came across Janet, Sally & the team at Fredrick Street and I'm so thankful that I did. My daughter being that little bit older (3.5yrs) was more anxious about the new environment but the entire team was so comforting and supportive that the transition into the new centre was great. She speaks so highly of her teachers and of Janet and Sally who are now referred to as her other mums. She loves going to day care everyday and I'm at complete ease knowing who is caring for her day in day out. The end of the year will be bitter sweet as she heads to prep next year but forever grateful for the past year. Thank you!! Read more
