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

The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills.

They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.

I had my two children attend this childcare for the past 4 years now and I still look back on our experience so fondly. From the moment you walk in, you’re always welcomed with warm smiles and such a genuine, caring atmosphere. The educators truly make you feel like part of a family. The centre was always very clean, hygienic, and well looked after, which gave me so much peace of mind as a parent. Most importantly, my children felt happy and comfortable going in each day, which says everything. I’m so grateful for the love, care, and support they showed my kids during their time there. Such a beautiful place with beautiful people.

I had the opportunity to complete my placement in this centre and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, the staff were welcoming, supportive, and always willing to guide me throughout my learning journey. I learned so much about creating engaging learning experiences, building positive relationships, and maintaining a safe and inclusive environment. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and highly recommend this centre to families and future placement students.
