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.

From the very beginning, it was clear that the team here is truly passionate about what they do. The educators have taken the time to really get to know our daughter – her personality, her interests, what makes her light up and what supports she needs when her emotions get big. That kind of attention and care has made all the difference in our daughter feeling safe and cared for. Communication is always clear and thoughtful. We feel so included in her daily experiences, and it's reassuring to know that the staff are always available and open with any updates or questions we might have. The activities are incredibly engaging and age-appropriate – every day brings something new and exciting, and our daughter comes home full of stories and smiles. The spaces are well set up and clearly thought out, encouraging both play and learning in a safe and stimulating environment. Everything has a purpose, and it’s easy to see the intention behind how each day is structured. We also really appreciate how Dawn Rd fosters friendships among the children. It’s heartwarming to see how our daughter has built connections with her peers – learning important social skills and developing a real sense of belonging. Most of all, the joy our daughter feels when she’s there says it all. She’s thriving, happy, and deeply connected to her educators and friends. We’re so grateful to have found a place that feels like an extension of our home, and we truly can’t recommend Goodstart Albany Creek Dawn Road enough! Read more
