Goodstart at Home is a regularly updated online collection of fun and enriching learning activities and experiences for you and your child to discover at home. Some of the activities and experiences are designed for you to play together with your child, and some might even let you take a well-earned backseat while they explore and learn.

The activities have been developed by our team of highly experienced and qualified early childhood and primary education experts.

Each activity steps through what the learning will be for children, what parents need to do and the everyday household items you might need for each one.

The activities on Goodstart at Home cover the below curriculum and learning areas (age appropriate) so you can be sure that it’s both fun and helping them learn and grow at the same time.

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• STEM
• Social and Emotional Well Being
• Physical Development
• Creative Development
• Daily Routines.

Due to COVID we are experiencing longer than usual delivery times through our courier network.

Shipping times vary across metro and regional areas, however if you don’t receive your item within 14 days of purchase please contact gsathome@goodstart.org.au.

Unfortunately, we are unable to refund or cancel a subscription once purchased as it goes directly towards the costs of running the platform. However, we are continuously updating the resources and what we offer on the site which you will continue to have access to for the duration of your 12-month subscription. We also actively encourage families to provide feedback about their experience so if there is anything you would like to see us include please drop us a line at gsathome@goodstart.org.au.

As a social purpose we are passionate about supporting the learning and development outcomes for children, both in our centres and at-home. We've created this toolkit to help parents support their children as they learn and navigate through their behaviours and emotions.

The Family Behaviour Support Kit has a number of key resources for parents to use including:

1. A detailed guide to step you through how to use each resource with your child.
2. A routine chart to help with understanding what needs to be done each day/morning/night.
3. Picture cards and a ‘First and Then’ chart to show visually what a child should do first and then (e.g. First we go to the toilet, then we wash our hands). This resource is particularly useful in supporting children to do those ‘tricky’ or ‘not fun’ tasks.
4. A number of useful printed charts and tools focused on emotions and calming down strategies 
5. Stop, Think, Do chart to support your child’s behaviour.
6. How to acknowledge positive behaviours chart for you to complete as a parent.
