The year before school is a big deal! It’s exciting when your little one gets ready to take that big step into primary school. At Goodstart, we know just how important this time is, and that’s why our Kindergarten and Preschool Program is designed to make the transition as smooth and positive as possible.

Our curriculum is about building confidence, developing essential skills, and fostering a love of learning. Here’s a glimpse of what your child will experience with us:

Social-Emotional Learning

Your child will learn to work and play with others in small and large groups, building self-awareness, cooperation, and empathy. They’ll also pick up the social skills to make friends, like sharing, listening, and being kind to others.

Language and Literacy 

Through storytelling, wordplay, and creating their own stories, your child will develop strong language and literacy skills. They’ll build vocabulary, improve their communication skills, and gain confidence in expressing themselves.

Mathematics 

Maths is made fun with games, puzzles, and practical activities. Your child will explore numbers, understand concepts like time, money, and measurements, and develop problem-solving skills while sorting objects and recognizing patterns.

Science and Technology 

Curiosity leads the way as your child learns about the world around them through hands-on activities like gardening, caring for animals, and exploring simple scientific concepts. They’ll learn to ask questions and make discoveries, fostering a lifelong love of learning.

Creative Arts, Design, and Construction 

Creativity blossom through painting, drawing, collage, and clay work. Your child will explore their imagination while also building fine motor skills. Plus, they’ll have the chance to experiment with design and construction, making their ideas come to life.

Physically-Active Play 

From running and climbing to dancing and skipping, your child will stay active while building strength, balance, coordination, and concentration. Physical play is key to healthy growth and helps build strong minds and bodies.

Music and Dance

With plenty of singing, dancing, and making music, your child will develop rhythm, movement skills, and an appreciation for different cultures and traditions. Whether dancing to a favourite tune or creating their beat, it’s all about having fun and being expressive!

How Our Program Aligns with the EYLF

Our Kindergarten and Preschool Programs are built on the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which focuses on giving children the best start to their learning journey. The EYLF emphasizes the importance of belonging, being, and becoming, helping children develop a strong sense of identity, connection with their world, well-being, confidence as learners, and effective communication skills.

By incorporating the EYLF into our program, we ensure your child’s education is holistic, balanced, and tailored to their needs. From social-emotional skills to creative expression, every experience is designed to foster confident and capable learners ready for school and beyond.
