About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and 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 play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler 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 space 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.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

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

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Kindergarten year,children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Meet the team

I began my career in early childhood education and care in 2011 and started working at Kindy Patch West Ipswich in 2020. I hold a Diploma in Children’s Services and am currently studying towards my Bachelor of Early Education.

I have always loved working with children and helping them develop their emerging personalities and skills. I enjoy building relationships with the children and families within the childcare centre and really making it a home away from home.

Every child is different in the way they learn, you have to be adaptable and be able to change your approach on the spot to suit their emerging needs. I have worked on furthering my knowledge and skills regarding children through studying and hands-on experience. I work directly with the children and families as we navigate their time within the centre to create a safe place where strong connections can be built to help them develop the skills they need for life.

Sending your child to an Early Education centre can be taboo or scary for some people but the learning that the children experience is 100% worth it. We use the developmental checklists to ensure children are socially and emotionally ready for their next journey. The Kindergarten Room ensure they are ready to tackle the challenges of Prep with confidence and at ease all while building secure relationships within a home away from home setting.

All of our staff are long term educators who take pride in their relationships with all children and families. The educators work hard and are very dedicated to the centre and are available for any of your needs! Our educators hold a wealth of knowledge and enjoy getting involved in their community.

Our team understands just how important your children are to you and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. Kindy Patch has extensive policy and procedures in place to assist our team in protecting children in our care.

We support families simply by being always available to them, having an open-door policy. We hold breakfast in the car park once a month for all children and families. We take the time to get to know them and their individual needs.

We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions one by one. We walk families through all the forms and administration that need to be done, this includes enrolment forms, Child Care Subsidy (CCS), explaining subsidies, government caps, centre schedules, our centre menu and more.
