About the curriculum
About the curriculum
Using a play-based approach, the curriculum encourages the children to explore, discover and problem solve.
Nursery (under 2 years)
The small group environment in the nursery allows for stronger connections to grow between the children and their educators. In a playful, stimulating and nurturing environment, the babies develop emotionally, physically and cognitively. Educators make daily observations about the progress of each child and provide parents with regular updates.
Toddler (2 - 3 years)
The toddler curriculum is designed to give the children the tools they need to explore their world. They engage in hands-on, interactive activities with building blocks, art and craft and natural elements to help them learn and grow. Daily observations and group reflection sessions ensure parents receive regular updates about their child.
Preschool (3 - 5 years)
The preschool children at Academy for Early Learners are referred to as the Wise Owls. They are given opportunities to explore their unique interests in a guided and supportive environment. They can learn at their own pace with interactive games and interest-based activities that teach literacy and numeracy skills and help to develop a love of learning.

Health & nutrition
Health & nutrition
Cooked fresh on site by an in-house cook and designed by in-house qualified dietitians, the menu at Academy for Early Learners uses seasonal ingredients to give the children the energy they need. The meals provided at least 50% of a child’s recommended dietary intake of all nutrients.
The nutritious rotational menu includes breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and late afternoon tea. All meals are served with either milk or water and can be tailored to cater to children with allergies or religious and special dietary requirements.
The children can also enjoy growing their own produce in the numerous vegetable gardens. This produce is used in the preparation of the centre menu and shared amongst the children to take home and enjoy with their families.

Owen loves to visit the worm farm in the outdoor play area. He is intrigued by how the worms wriggle through the dirt. He also helps his educators to water the vegetables in the garden.

In the afternoon, Owen enjoys doing an art class. He abandons his paintbrush and instead uses his fingers to create a beautiful painting with lots of colour.
