At Goodstart Croydon, children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, make choices and learn through meaningful play and everyday experiences. Our educators take the time to understand each child, using their interests and ideas to shape learning experiences that support social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. Outdoor exploration, community walks, Bush Kinder, Sport Kinder and special incursions and excursions give children opportunities to investigate the world around them and develop confidence beyond the traditional learning environment. Families are valued as important partners in their child's learning, with regular communication helping create consistency between home and the centre.
