We have been at Goodstart for the last five years and it's been a wonderful experience. The staff and educators really know our kids and many have been there since we started. We value the continued relationships we have with educators across the centre. The kids have thrived under their care, it's a great environment.

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
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.
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.

Hi everyone, my name is Kayla and I am excited to be the Centre Director here at Goodstart Braybrook.
I’d love to share a little about myself and hope to soon get to know a about little you and your family!
I have worked for Goodstart Early Learning for nearly 20 years now. I hold a Diploma Qualification in Early Childhood Education and Care. Throughout my time with Goodstart, I have worked as an educator across all ages ranging from 6 weeks to 6 years. I have experienced many roles including an Assistant Educator, Senior Educator and Assistant Director.
The importance of building strong, reciprocal relationships between children, families, and educators is reflected within my personal philosophy. In doing this, together we can succeed in creating warm and welcoming spaces for children to learn, explore, and grow.
Through educating and uplifting educators, I aspire to support our team in achieving good practice, as well as encouraging them to strive towards continuous improvement across the service.
I believe that young children can learn a great deal through what they observe, which is why my attitude is all about leading by example and being a positive role model.
Additionally, our Exceeding National Quality Standard status promotes our excellence in providing the best care and learning experiences so your children can enjoy a great start in life.

We have had our daughter at Braybrook Goodstart Early Learning from 9months to 2.5yrs now and have been very happy with the management and support provided by the centre to our daughter but also to parents and families. Communication is excellent, timely and helpful at this not-for-profit daycare. Our daughter has blossomed under the watchful eyes of caring, engaging, open staff who take pride in their work (Biza special mention) - the culture under the leadership of Kayla , the centre director, is exemplary. Feedback on our daughters development, and strategies to encourage new skills/ learning/ experiences (the music /dance sessions for babies were fantastic) have been really appreciated and the activities they do give me ideas for outside daycare entertainment and learning! A strong focus on reading, cultural diversity and individual learning and needs (medical, dietary etc) align with our values. They are very accommodating of requests to swap attendance days, which is really appreciated. The baby and toddler rooms are full of age-appropriate toys/books, and change regularly. The artwork of the kids is displayed with pride. The outdoor space has had a refresh and is engaging and safe. If you are looking for childcare, this centre is well worth a visit!

Since commencing at Goodstart Braybrook I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this centre. Our positive experience started off with Centre Director Kayla who is extremely personable, warm, and you can see she genuinely cares about all the children as well as her staff. As soon as you walk through the doors you can feel a great culture and the warm welcomes from front reception, who are also always there to help you in any way. You can see that staff really care and want to be at work. Elbisa the room leader in Nursery 1 is an angel and just so beautiful and nurturing with all the babies/toddlers in the room. She is exactly the kind of person you want to leave your child with and know that they will be well cared for. To the other staff in this room; Rodjanee, is a beautiful soul who has been so attentive towards my child. She will always take the time to listen and follow through with any requests you may have. Tamara is also a consistent gentle person we leave my child with every morning at drop off, as well as Dee who is always smiling and happy to see the kids! Communication has been excellent right from the start with us! Couldn't thank the staff and centre here enough!
Thank you, Melyssa. We’re so pleased to hear about your positive experience at Goodstart Braybrook. It’s wonderful to know the team’s warmth, professionalism, and genuine care have made such a difference for your family. We truly appreciate your kind words and will make sure the team hears your lovely feedback!
