The educators hold relevant qualifications, such as a Certificate III, Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree. They also hold a current Working with Children Check and First Aid qualifications.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
The Whiz Kids educators value open and honest communication with parents. They know that parents are the most important people in a child’s life and their engagement in their daily activities is critical. To support this, the educators are available to discuss the children’s learning with parents on a regular basis.
The educators use the conversations with parents to support the children’s learning. They start to build connections between home and the centre to enhance the children’s wellbeing and desire to learn.
Parents are also encouraged to get involved in the centre through activities such as cooking. They can participate in cooking experiences alongside the children and even share their family recipes.
Throughout each day, the educators update Kinderloop, the parent communication app, with information such as the children’s nutritional intake. Parents can access this information to feel more connected to their child’s day at Whiz Kids.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, the Whiz Kids Educators follow a holistic curriculum that ultimately helps to prepare the children for the transition to school. Called Whiz Kids Learn, the curriculum was developed by experienced educators and based on the understanding that every child learns in their own unique way.
The curriculum is designed to embed a lifelong love of learning in every child. They engage with books, develop their language skills and learn about the magic of science. The curriculum is taught across four different learning spaces:
- Picasso’s Room (0-2 years): with routines tailored to each child, the focus in the Picasso’s Room is on building relationships between the children and their educators. They learn and play while developing their sense of belonging and wonder.
- Mozart’s Room (2-3 years): the toddlers in the Mozart’s Room participate in interest-based activities that lead to ongoing investigation and new discoveries. They start to develop self-help skills and social skills, such as sharing with their peers.
- Einstein’s Room (3-4 years): with a focus on play, the children take steps towards learning the skills they will need to succeed at school and beyond. They learn early reading and writing skills as well as phonemic awareness. They also develop their confidence as they learn more about themselves and the world around them.
- Pascal’s Room (4-6 years): the preschoolers participate in a school readiness program that prepares them for the transition to big school. Beyond literacy and numeracy, the children also develop self-awareness, problem-solving and social skills, among others.
