This environment supports children’s growth and development through engaging activities.

Our Storypark platform, along with family nights and newsletters, ensures strong communication with families, allowing us to tailor programs to each child’s individual needs, interests, and strengths. We are proud to celebrate the diverse cultural backgrounds of our centre.

A qualified cook prepares healthy and nutritious meals daily, covering breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack, all of which are provided by the centre.

Our multipurpose room offers a great indoor alternative for physical activities, particularly on winter days, enabling children to remain active and engaged.

Community engagement is a core part of our centre, and we enhance learning experiences through visits and events throughout the year. Daily art and music activities encourage creativity, while quarterly parent evenings offer families a chance to connect and contribute to the centre.

We would love to show you around and demonstrate how we can give your child the best start in life!

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.

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.
