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. 

Meet the team

Goodstart Early Learning Toongabbie has been such a wonderful place for our daughter. She only started a month ago, but the educators made her feel comfortable, safe and welcomed straight away. The care and attention they give to each child is truly amazing. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend this centre to any parent looking for a caring and supportive childcare service.

I am truly grateful for this day care centre. Words are not enough to express my appreciation for the staff and the genuine care they provide to every child. For me and my son, starting day care was a completely new journey. As parents, we were anxious, curious, and excited all at once. However, the staff here made sure all our worries and negative feelings disappeared within just a few days and helped us feel comfortable and reassured. Today, I start my day without a single doubt or concern about my son being there. I cannot finish this review without mentioning a few wonderful people: * **Fiona (Centre Director):** I have never experienced such clear, professional, and concise communication from any day care centre before. * **Hema Jain:** My son’s personal favourite! She has an excellent way of working and an incredible level of patience 🙂. She is extraordinary. * **Victoria:** An amazing room leader who always ensures everyone stays updated and that there are no communication gaps. She truly made our journey smooth and stress-free. * **Mithura:** She always makes sure my son gets the best food and introduces a lot of variety to ensure he eats well ❤️ * **Anu:** She was the first person who gave us the confidence that we could truly rely on the educators here. She handled my son so wonderfully during his initial days, which were extremely difficult for both us and him. Lastly, my son is now getting comfortable with * ** Dilru** as well who’s always smiley and trying different ways to make sure my son eats well. Needless to say the entire team is excellent and everyone at Toongabie branch is extremely supportive. I would highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and trustworthy environment for their child.

Response from the owner 18 May 2026

Thank you for your heartfelt review, Manasi! We’re so grateful for your kind words and for the trust your family has placed in our centre during such an important transition. We understand how emotional and unfamiliar those early days of starting care can feel for families, and it’s wonderful to hear our educators and staff helped you and your son feel reassured, supported and comfortable so quickly. It’s lovely to know you’ve had such a positive experience with the care, communication and support provided throughout your journey with us. Creating a nurturing, welcoming and trustworthy environment where children and families feel safe, connected and supported is at the heart of everything we do. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and recommendation, and we’re so pleased your son is building such positive relationships and enjoying his early learning journey with us.
