Embracing early learning

Goodstart is helping families across Australia to understand and embrace the importance of early learning. And as this progresses, we're simultaneously working to unite early learning professionals and policy makers on a national pathway to positive change. 
 
Goodstart Early Learning has committed to working with the early learning sector and governments to drive change that will benefit all of Australia’s children. With around 14,000 staff supporting 72,000 families we’re well-placed to instigate change.

Importance of early learning

Children not given the best start in life are unlikely to achieve their potential. When we start seeing early learning as an investment, not a cost, Australians can work together to instigate change.

Access and inclusion

We know that high-quality early learning is important for all children, and even more so for those who are vulnerable . They need a nurturing, stimulating environment to give them the best possible chance in life. Every single child in Australia should be given access to quality early learning programs. We will work with governments to help ensure this objective is met.

Early learning workforce

Our people are our organisation’s greatest asset. On a daily basis they pour their hearts and souls into caring for children all over the country. We believe staff in the early learning sector are not recognised for the work they do to support children and their families through a critical period of growth and development. We are committed to working with sector partners and the government to raise the status of the early learning profession, so that it is universally acknowledged as one of the most rewarding and important careers on offer.
