Rooms

Nursery Room (6 weeks -2 years) 

Learning starts from before birth. Our nursery Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things – through their senses, their communication, cues (body language, facial expression, and sounds) and by experimenting.

On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of meaningful play, such as water play, music time, story time and more. Each day provides a brand new, exciting opportunity for our nursery children. 

Toddler Room: (2-3 years) 

Our Teachers and Educators encourage the toddler children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This learning happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences. On any given day the children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games. 

Children in our toddler rooms are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important, as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling. 

Preschool and School Readiness Program: (3-5 years) 

Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning. Our play-based preschool program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking, and creativity.

Extracurricular Activities 

Our Early Learning Curriculum also provides children with:

• Sustainability Program: The current sustainability practices in place at the centre include encouraging families to participate in the centres sustainability program by bringing reused materials to the centre, and then the educators will utilise these natural resources to make teaching materials. 
• Incursions & Excursion Program: Our programs encourage children to interact with and discover their local community. We often have visits from community services. We also go on adventures to the local parks, school, aged care residences and shops.
