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.
Meet the team
 
					Meet the team
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.
Janani Croos
Hello, My name is Janani and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Frankston South – Flinders Road.
I have worked in Early Learning for 15 years and hold a Diploma qualification in Early Childhood Education. Throughout my time with Goodstart, I have worked as an educator across all ages ranging from six weeks to six years. I have experienced many roles including Team Leader, Educational Leader, Assistant Director and Centre Director.
I am passionate about Early Childhood Education and committed to providing the best possible care and learning opportunities for the children in their early years learning journey.
I believe children should have the opportunity to explore rich and purposeful experiences throughout the day to reach their full potential in their first six years and that is only possible through high-quality early learning.
Being a mum myself, I understand the importance for families to find a perfect place for their children. A place where they feel safe, respected and supported and included socially and emotionally.
I look forward working with you and your family, along with my wonderful team of highly educated and passionate educators and see how we can get started on this learning journey together.

We want to express our gratitude to all the staff. A special note to the Nursery Two staff - you are so caring, loving and nurturing with all the little ones. You foster an incredible environment where all the children thrive and are best friends - watching their relationships with one another and the staff is beautiful. Our son absolutely loved attending this centre (unfortunately we have moved out of the area). The activities provided, the meals, the informative daily updates and photos, incredible! Thank you so much! Read more

My 2 children have been going to Goodstart Frankston South for the last 1.5 years and they absolutely love it. The staff are caring, engaging and extremely supportive. My 3 year old adores her educators and always talks about them at home and how they are her best friends. The director is always extremely efficient at replying to additional requests and emails. Best decision moving our children to this centre. Read more

My twins boys have been going to this centre for 12 months and heading into 3 year old kinder. My boys have been to 3 daycares in their short life so far and this centre by far has been the best experience for my boys and myself. Providing care for identical twins has unique challenges, and the team do a great job in supporting them and their different needs (and telling them apart!). The centre provides great communication and my boys are thriving with the development support provided. I would recommend this centre to parents but especially to twin parents! They provide lots of stimulating activities. All staff in my experience so far are friendly, empathic, and encouraging. Read more
