Eastwood Blessings Early Learning Centre

Eastwood Blessings Philosophy

Eastwood Blessings is a warm homely space immersed in an atmosphere of joy, laughter and wellbeing.  A place that values the comfort of our families and promotes our children’s voices. The early years provide us with the privilege of working alongside children as they develop life skills and explore the world in a mindful way. We take pride in our natural organic-based learning environments and extend our commitment with a pledged to preserve the environment. We recognise the need to educate and include children in our sustainable practices to protect our environment today and for the children’s future.

Sense of Wellbeing

At Eastwood Blessings we value a holistic approach to children’s lifelong welfare. Looking at all aspects of living and the sense of being, belonging and becoming within our environment. Children will develop an identity that includes resilience, empowerment and the ability to make decisions and express ideas. Children are provided opportunities to be active and physical as well as rested and connected with themselves and others.

Sustainability

At every opportunity we promote a natural way of living. As a service we take our environmental responsibility to heart and have embedded ongoing sustainable practices that both our staff and children implement with pride. We hope to make a small difference to the environment and yet a huge difference in educating tomorrows future.

Education

Learning is for life and every day is a new opportunity for discovery and growth. Our job is to prepare each child for the next phase of life. We pride ourselves on our implementation of The Framework and working alongside the children as learning is a shared experience. Educators observe, reflect and extend on the interest and needs of each individual child with a personalised and group program.

Families and Community

At Eastwood Blessings we strive to nurture genuine relationships with our children, families and the wider diverse community. Our team and children engage in a variety of community projects promoting connections, cultural acceptance and teamwork. We promote collaboration with families and recognise you as the child’s first teacher. We hope that every family views our space as a harmonious second home.

Eastwood Blessings works toward building healthy eating habits for your child so we've partnered with "Kids Gourmet Food"'s chefs to create and prepare 5 nutritious meals a day at their state of the art kitchens and get them delivered to us fresh daily using a rotational 6-week menu system. These freshly prepared meals feature seasonal ingredients and aims to educate your child to make smart food choices by introducing ‘always foods’ and ‘sometimes foods.’

Eastwood Blessings' extra-curricular activities encourage diversity and inclusion, ensuring every child feels accepted and develops the ability to think, imagine and play freely.

Sports program

For the children aged 2 and up, the centre offers our soccer sports program. This carefully designed program encourages children to gain fitness regardless of their athletic ability.

Language program

Children 2 and up can enjoy a fun and interactive language program taught by qualified and experienced language teachers. Learning a second language helps support brain development, improves cognitive functioning, analytical and social skills.

Yoga program

Each week the children aged 2 and up will take part in our Yoga Club, nurturing and fostering your child’s mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Cooking Experiences

Children can take part in the ‘Eastwood Blessings Kitchen’ cooking class with hands-on learning such as mixing, measuring and tasting healthy food, guiding your child towards sound food habits.
