The highly qualified and experienced educators follow the Early Years Learning Framework Curriculum in the Nursery through to Pre Kindy rooms, and then for the Kindergarten Rooms they follow the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines. 

The team follows the children’s interests and extends on their skills through everyday activities that enhance their self-help skills, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive skills, social skills, resilience skills and more.  

The educators believe that each child is an individual and will be treated with respect, kindness and care at all times. They show families that they value their culture and family values and will extend on these in the centre environment to ensure that each child feels safe and secure.

The educators at Avenues Early Learning Centre Carina ensure that children feel safe, supported and challenged to learn new things and participate in new experiences. The educators seek to make sure that the environment is inviting, natural, stimulating and engaging, and that it reflects the children’s personalities and interests. 

Educators strive to create a calm, comfortable environment where each child feels safe. The highly trained team of educators are hand-picked to support the children and their learning. The centre is well resourced and each area is specifically designed with young learners in mind. 

As a centre we strive to provide enriched learning experiences for all children in a safe, caring environment.  We strive to assist all children to become confident and capable learners, through building on their own interests, curiosity, and wonder.

The in-house chef at Avenues Early Learning Centre Carina provides freshly made morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack for the children. All of the centre’s menus meet the guidelines set out by Nutrition Australia and everything is created with the children’s health and nutrition in mind. All allergies, cultural and religious requirements are accommodated.

The kitchen staff encourage the children to assist with preparation of the afternoon tea, to teach them valuable cooking skills. The children enjoy delicious main meals such as creamy tuna pasta, Nasi Goreng chicken and rice, beef and broccoli stirfry, or homemade pizzas.
