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.

Bea Carreon

Hi, I’m Bea Carreon and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Chadstone.

I have completed a Bachelors Degree in Psychology in the Philippines. I then moved to Australia in 2011 and did continue some studying. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood and Education. I have been developing my career in the early childhood education industry since then. I have worked in a range of services both small and big private organisations, and I have been working with children from birth to 6 years old. Prior to being a Centre Director, I have been a room leader of Nursery room for 8 consecutive years. During those times, I have been given the opportunity to work with diverse range of families, educators and group leaders. These experiences has become my inspiration over the years, to provide quality care, and to be able to build a good working, and trusting relationship with both the children and their families. As a Centre Director I am to help children develop their skills and showcase the best version of themselves.

My Early Learning values:
I strongly believe that children are active learners, and they learn from significant people in their lives. Having that strong connection, impacts their developing skills, that they will use their whole life.

What I love about our community:
The diverse culture, and amazing people, that I meet every single day. And the varying languages that I have learned in this industry, as I connect with different families.

A little more about me:
I am a fur-mum of a 1-year-old cat named Sunday, I am also a proud Aunt of an 8-month-old baby boy (1st baby in the family). When I’m not working, you’ll find me in the shopping centre with my family. I enjoy watching Disney movies and love musical concerts and theatre plays. I am the middle child of 3 siblings, and I am married to an amazing husband for 4 years now.

Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team at Goodstart SUBURB):
We at Goodstart Chadstone came from a diverse background with different values and strengths, we strive to support children from various cultural background for them to be able to feel safe, secure, and that they belong.

I look forward into welcoming you, and your family into our lovely community.
