High quality early learning: what to look for
High quality childcare makes a real difference children, but knowing exactly what high quality looks...
Your local Goodstart is more than early education and child care; it's a community. Our educators build solid and secure relationships with your child and family, ensuring everyone feels connected and supported.
Our play-based learning approach nurtures your child's curiosity and fosters a love of learning that will last a lifetime. We follow the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) to support your child's social skills, creativity, and critical thinking. Our kindergarten and preschool programs are designed by industry experts to prepare for a smooth transition to school.
Our educators are passionate about creating a safe, welcoming environment where your child feels loved and supported. We believe in the power of strong relationships to help children thrive. We value their vast expertise and acknowledge their importance to our families.
With 658 centres across Australia, we're big enough to offer world-class resources. Yet, we stay deeply connected to each local community. Your child gets the best of both worlds — a centre that feels like home with the backing of Australia's leading early learning provider.
