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.

The process of getting my daughter comfortable with starting daycare was so easy, I had a few daycare options and Kanimbla was the easy choice. The staff are all so welcoming and easy to approach, they are dedicated and always ensure my daughter is welcomed every single time she walks in the door she loves it, and I appreciate all those little things they do that they don't have to do. 😀 Read more

The service provides exceptional nurturing, support, safety and family orientated care to the children. The management and educators have great communication with each other and families and create a welcoming space that is also multi-culturally safe. I love that the whole team works closely with family requests, the child's needs and focuses on building relationships. The facilities are presentable and clean. Meals are provided and there is a waterpark. The train goes past and is the highlight of the children's day. There are inviting, engaging activities always set up indoors and outdoors that promote child's interests. My son has thrived at Goodstart Kanimbla, growing and learning so much! He loves going to kindy and has built loving relationships with educators and children. Read more
