About the Curriculum
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 through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory 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, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers 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 skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years
Preschool 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 has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and 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 Preschool children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Preschool 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, are supported through group learning experiences. 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. Our goal in the Preschool year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Ellie is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Ellie is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Ellie has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Ellie a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Ellie and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Ellie’s favourite book.
Morning
Josh is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Josh is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Josh identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Josh is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Josh is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Josh picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Josh and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Josh enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Josh is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Josh’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Charlotte is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Charlotte and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Charlotte is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Charlotte sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Charlotte takes part in the centre’s sports program. Charlotte loves sports. Sports helps Charlotte improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Charlotte is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Charlotte and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Health and Nutrition
Health and Nutrition
Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Bianca, and I am the Centre Manager here at Community Kids Greenway Park. My career in early learning started in 2007. I have been working at Community Kids Greenaway Park since 2016. I hold a Diploma in Children's service, a Diploma in Business Management, and a Bachelor’s in early childhood education. I am currently completing my Bachelor of Teaching Primary.
I love working with children and witnessing their uniqueness, their individual growth and how capable they are. The social/ emotional aspect of a dedicated Early Childhood Centre is something special. The way our children gain resilience and confidence while being away from home is something beautiful to watch. I am passionate about ensuring my team can successfully do their role in guiding, supporting and educating the children of our future.
The words I would use to describe my team would be: Passionate, nurturing, caring, honest, hard-working and friendly. We are a close-knit centre with many longstanding educators and families. It feels like a home away from home. We have had families that have had their children here from the nursery room, all the way until school. Every family that attends our centre know of someone that also attends. We have a great reputation in the local community, and we have loved being a part of all our families' lives for so long.

My youngest daughter who is now 2 has been attending since she was 8 months old and loves going to 'school'. There are some long standing educators there such as Jocelyn, Amy, Cecelia and Leah who are lovely. I'm also loving the new Management Team. I think they are doing a great job! Highly recommend!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us over the years and being a part of our early learning community. Warm wishes, The Community Kids Team

My son no longer attends this daycare. I actually quit my job and threw myself into financial hardship just so my son would no longer be attending this daycare. He is now in school. My son is a special needs kid. He was troublesome. I am aware that he had challenging behaviours. I think what made it worse was the daycares constant need to essentially throw their hands up in the air and just constantly look at negatives instead of solutions. They applied for funding to support my son. After applying they told me that whatever funds received would be used to support the other children who are impacted by his behaviour because they have an "inclusion" policy. Rather than supporting my son to cope, they would support the other children's emotions. I asked them to allow my son to have a small amount of apple juice mixed in with his water. When I first returned to the centre after having a break due to my son having cancer, the director actually said she would make sure the kitchen has apple juice stocked. I said no need and that it's just for his first bottle of the day which I will fill up at home and then the second bottle after that can just be water. Apparently she thinks she never said this (my husband and I were both there and she did say it). They would empty out my sons bottle every day and fill it with just water (which he wouldn't drink) then they would try to do a song and dance when i would pick him up saying that he did drink water even though I could see how thirsty he was when he got in the car because he would completely empty the new bottle I brought from home. When I made a fuss about them emptying out his bottle, they stopped giving the bottle all together and only let him drink from cups which he didn't know how to use so if they didn't prompt and remind him, he wouldn't drink for hours on end. They also said that due to his challenging behaviours they would have someone constantly shadowing him. Numerous times I got there and I would ask who is shadowing him today. They would say we all are or I don't know or whatever. One time I got there and i know my son had just pushed another child. One of the workers was red in the face and giving him a filthy look while pulling that other child away from my son. She was most likely just yelling at him. If he was being constantly shadowed, he wouldn't of had the chance to push another child. I did everything I can to support them. I brought his favourite snacks in his bag which they refused to give him and they told me to stop packing those. I would have therapists go to the centre to see him and make recommendations on how to make the centre easier on them. I provided them with physical cards they could use to help with transitioning which despite how many times I explained them, they were used wrong. They did have a few random good workers there. Only for those random good workers is this getting 2 stars. But as an organisation in general, I was so let down as a parent. And I know for a fact that this is not the norm because the next daycare centre I went to was absolutely amazing. My son didn't hit there, was very comfortable, had favourite teachers. They let me give him the things that bring him comfort like his juice and snacks. I hope as an organisation they can just actively choose to do better and support the parents a bit more 🤷🏽♀️ Read more

Within those years you would expect many faces to change but it was great walking in and seeing many of the same amazing staff still providing great education to the children. It's obvious that staff retention is there, that itself says a lot. Both sons walk/walked out happy full of stories to tell about their days. The facilities are great, always providing different experiences for the children. If we're in the area when baby number 3 hits preschool age, there's no doubt they'll attend to Read more
