Beginnings Early Learners - Alfredton

At Beginnings Early Learners, we believe the program needs to:

* Be developmentally appropriate and caring
* Be concerned with every aspect of each child's development
* Reflect the multicultural nature of our Australian society
* Be challenging, interesting, and varied, providing lots of choices
* Involve parents in its planning, implementation and evaluation

"Influenced by this belief, the child is beheld as beautiful, powerful, competent, creative, curious, and full of potential and ambitious desires." - Valarie Hewitt

The programs encourages children to:

* Makes choices
* Develop creative abilities
* Problem solve
* Negotiate and cooperate with others

Ensuring our children have the right fuel to keep them going throughout the day is very important to parents and teachers alike. All fresh, delicious meals are prepared by a qualified chef and eaten together in the communal eating areas. We also cater for dietary requirements and allergies.

Children are encouraged to enjoy our natural environment by caring for chickens and planting their own vegetable garden then using the fresh ingredients in their lunches.

We have a passion for games and activities to keep the children active, develop their gross motor skills and body awareness. We will run a speciality Music and Movement Program to introduce concepts of focused breathing and provide an outlet for self expression.

This healthy, active approach will encourage your child to chose a healthy lifestyle in their present and future life.
