Goodstart Orange - Molong Road

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Orange - Molong Road is close to a small neighbourhood shopping complex and offers on-site parking. Our centre has been operating since 2006. 

The centre backs onto a local park, which we regularly visit to connect into our local community. 
  
We cater for children aged from six weeks through to five years. We have a range of different cultures represented at our centre and are focused on embedding culture into our curriculum to build a broader understanding of diversity. We have engaged with Indigenous Cultural Adventures to build a stronger connection to Country and Aboriginal culture and history within our centre. 
  
Our dedicated team of educators includes four Early Childhood Teachers. Our learning curriculum is designed around individual observations of the children, children’s voices on what they would like to learn and family goals – this allows us to interpret and plan accordingly to make sure each child is developing across all of the key learning areas.
 
Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool – are all geared with this in mind. Our curriculum ensures each child’s individual interests and strengths are included. We offer a Preschool Transition room for the children moving to Primary School and our curriculum includes early literacy, early numeracy and STEM based learning opportunities.   
  
Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces – the children contribute to the care of our gardens and work with a range of loose parts to create new play spaces. There are vegetable patches including a bush tucker garden, worm farm, a frog pond (built by the children), dinosaur garden, butterfly garden and a fairy garden in addition to sand pits, climbing equipment, outdoor kitchen space, and art areas. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.
  
We value communication with our families and do so through a variety of methods, including quality face-to-face conversations and a fortnightly catch-up email sent each Friday. We also use out intuitive Storypark platform to stay in close contact with families and enable them to engage with their child’s development and our curriculum. 
  
Our centre takes an active part in the community, participating in the ANZAC Day March and NAIDOC Week March each year, participating in fundraising events, holding centre events for our children and their families, regular incursions based on children’s interests, regular local excursions around our neighbourhood and being a valuable link to schools and specialist services such as speech pathology.
 
We provide all meals and nappies as part of our fee structure.
  
We look forward to meeting you and your family soon! Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.
