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.

This centre is equal best of 4 seperate ones I have experienced long term, their program running with the local schools have pre grade prep /school exposure is what's most important to me personally.(For older kinder kids) My kids eat everyday and haven't ever complained about the food, the food rotates on a 4 week menu accesible to see by parents. (Although always a difficult thing in group setting they could be encouraged to each more vegetables) The centre runs as smooth as possible , hiccups will happen but nothing serious , there is a clear difference to myself with non for profit organisations with more of an interest in the kids vs private entity's who have motives where kids don't come first. The activities , educational incursions, and general availability of toys/equipment/artwork speaks for itself. If there is an issue or possible serious injury the centre is on top of it with incident reports and emergency management. If you are a complete helicopter parent keep your kids at home. 👀 The are many childhood educators at this centre of many different backgrounds all able to clearly communicate and teach the children appropriately. My kids have a second language and the educator requested if they can communicate in that language, the educators will communicate to the individual kids that way if and when they need to/have been authorised to, all other direction and education directed at all the kids is provided perfectly in English for obvious reasons and nobody is ever being left out. In my personal experience the kids do get to watch a shared iPad rarely the evening around 530-6 pm when there isnt many kids left which is reasonable. Would I recommend this place to family and friends? Definitely
