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.

We started at Goodstart Morningside, Wynnum Road, at the beginning of the year, and we couldn't be happier. The centre team is calm, responsive, and welcoming – every staff member knows my child’s by name, not just the educators in his room. The educators have been at the centre for many years and work so well together as a team, which really shows in the way the centre operates. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they truly value partnership with parents, supporting us through developmental changes and celebrating growth and learning along the way. The rooms are set up beautifully, offering so many opportunities for children to explore, and they spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying the sunshine. The meals are delicious and made almost entirely from scratch by the centre cook, who has been with the centre for years. Our son has been thriving at Goodstart Wynnum Road, and we feel so grateful to have found such a caring and committed team. Read more

The educators are warm, welcoming and really take the time to get to know the kids. There’s a strong sense of consistency with the team, which made it easy for our son to settle in and feel comfortable. The outdoor space is well laid out with plenty for the kids to explore, and the rooms are always filled with fun, hands-on activities. They also offer extras like weekly fitness sessions and tennis, which our son absolutely loved. It’s been a really positive place for him to grow, learn and make friends. Read more
Thank you, Oliver. We're so glad to hear your son has had such a positive experience at kindy. It’s wonderful that he’s formed great connections with the educators and enjoyed the exciting learning spaces and activities, including the fitness and tennis sessions. We’re grateful to be part of his early learning journey and appreciate your kind feedback!

We had moved from another centre, and we wish that we had started her at this centre sooner. The staff are great, they really care and there are quite a few long terms here with seemingly less turnover than other centres.The centre is well laid out with a large shady area and a safe flat large playground with lots to do. It is very clean, and the classrooms are always set up for fun activities and creativity. The staff regularly organise incursions. Our daughter was also able to do tennis and dance once a week as a result of this (small extra fee, well worth it). We were really sad to leave when it was time to go to school this month! Read more

A fantastic centre to raise your kids as they embark on their life journey of educational and physical opportunities. Our son started going to this centre when he was 1.5 years old and ever since there has been no looking back. As parents we have seen the effort put in by every single educator every single minute and its just amazing. We have seen our son grow and learn and become this confident little toddler. The entire staff is so awesome to deal with and are full of great ideas for your child's development. Even though we have now moved 20mins from this centre, I am still more than happy to have my child come here. Great job Ms. Jo and team!!! Read more

My two boys have been at Goodstart (Wynnum Rd) from nursery through to Kindy. They've had a wonderful time growing, developing socially, and learning along the way. The educators make them feel safe and loved, which is reassuring as a parent who is entrusting their child into someone else's care. The kids have come home happy and full of stories about their day. I highly recommend Goodstart (Wynnum Rd)! Read more
Thank you Carling we have loved having both your boys at our centre over the years - thank you for your kind words!

Even though it is 20 min drive far from home and we had our little one enrolled already in another centre, which was closer and very luxury, we soon found out that was not what we desired. As a mum you easily could notice who gives real love to your child. That's what I realised on the day that I had a tour to Wynnum Rd centre straight away. So we decided to cancel the enrolment in the other centre and decided to drive all the way down to Good Start Early Learning in Morning side Wynnum road and I still am very happy because I'm leaving my child to very caring, loving and honest educators. All the staff there are very caring, and awesome. They acknowledge you, they care about your concerns, they care about your feelings and give you assurance (I mean reall assurance not faking!), and give you the support you'd need as much as possible. What a kid needs is love, support and play, and what parrents need is peace of mind, isn't it right! So if you are one of those who agree, try this centre, I am a very detailed oriented mum and I highly recommend it to every parents. Read more
