We provide a varied program for all children based on the children's interests, observations, and family input. The program incorporates the Emergent Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework. We believe in creating a strong link between the home and the centre, and welcome family input into the program.
All staff attend regular training and seminars to ensure they are up to date with current early childhood practices. The centre has been assessed as Meeting under the National Quality Standards.
Possum Room (0-2 years)
This classroom caters for up to 12 children aged between 6 weeks and 2 years of age per day. There are 3 main educators in the room each day.
The indoor learning environment for this age group is a stimulating environment with room for children to explore at their own pace. We offer flexible routines that allow for consistency with family routines, large blocks of time for play and learning, and children's choice and direction on experiences through the day.
Koala Room (2-3 years)
This classroom caters for up to 15 children aged between 2-3 years of age per day. There are 3 main educators in the room each day.
Spaces within the room reflect children's interests and are responsive to their abilities, catering for different learning capacities. Children's developing social needs are supported through music and movement experiences. Children learn the skills needed to care, share, collaborate and use their emotions in a positive way.
Emu Room (3-5 years)
This classroom caters for up to 20 children aged between 3-5 years of age per day. There are 2 main educators in the room each day.
The learning environment is bright and welcoming, arranged to invite and encourage varied forms of play and learning throughout the day. We encourage learning through immersion with innovative and interesting forms of literacy and numeracy experiences embedded within the curriculum to develop the children's skills at a level that is developmentally appropriate for them.
The program is designed to ensure that children are interested in learning by planning learning around children's interests so they are engaged to explore, investigate and learn. These experiences give ownership to children and encourage their problem solving and decision-making skills.
Outdoor area
Children spend time outdoors every day, weather permitting. Our outdoor space is shaded, equipped with natural materials, sandpit, and equipment that encourages physical play, balance, and gross motor development.
Daily meals
The children are provided with a nutritionally balanced menu prepared at the centre each day by our qualified cook. Five meals daily, all included in the daily fee. See our sample menu →
