About the curriculum

About the curriculum

At Great Beginnings, the rooms are divided according to the ages of the children. Each area is designed to provide the best possible early learning experience for each child.

A combination of indoor and outdoor activities are planned for the children. The routines arranged by the educators allow for individual learning, small group learning, and large group learning.

Nursery rooms: 

Educators provide a nurturing environment where babies feel safe to explore and discover. Activities included tummy time, messy play and other sensory activities. Language-rich environments through play-based experiences such as music, singing and rhymes are included in daily activities for children. 

Toddler rooms: 

Educators encourage the children to learn through play to enhance sensory-motor development. This will take the form of music, dance, games and reading. Group play is designed to develop confidence and social skills. Books and language games are used to develop communication, literacy, and numeracy.

Kindergarten rooms: 

A school readiness program focused on numeracy and literacy will help children prepare for the next step in their education. Educators encourage group play to develop conversations, confidence, and social skills. The children learn through interest-based activities to promote development, these include music, dance, games, reading and lots of outdoor fun. Risky play and extracurricular activities are encouraged in a safe space to build up resilience and independence.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

The centre believes they can help to give children their best start in life by providing healthy, nutritious meals daily. Food is used to teach the children about the benefits of healthy eating. All of the seasonal meals and snacks are provided for the children by the centre’s in-house chef, with all meals approved by government nutrition programs. The centre’s focus is on offering the children simple, nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods - designed to tempt even fussy eaters. 

Children who attend a full day at the centre will be offered at least 50 per cent of their recommended daily dietary intake. Children are taught about the benefits of growing food by helping with the centre’s own vegetable garden.

As a first-time mum, I completely understand the anxiety that comes with choosing the right childcare. After exploring several options, I found Children First at Salisbury Downs, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and friendliness from the staff, which immediately put my nerves at ease. The entire team at Children First has been incredibly supportive and understanding throughout this transition for both my daughter and I. They have made the adjustment process smooth and enjoyable, and I truly feel confident knowing that my little one is in such capable hands. The educators are not only attentive to her needs but also genuinely care about her well-being and development. I’ve seen my daughter thrive in this nurturing environment. She has formed wonderful relationships with her educators, and it’s heartwarming to see her so happy and engaged. Our drop-off routine has transformed from a stressful experience to a joyful one, and I can’t express how much that means to me as a parent. If you’re considering childcare options, I wholeheartedly recommend Children First at Salisbury Downs. It’s a fantastic place where children are safe, loved, and encouraged to grow. You won’t regret choosing this centre for your child!

Being a first time grandparent and first time user of a childcare centre this has been a very positive experience. The staff/team are very compassionate and patient. Our granddaughter is experiencing a wide range of activities in a safe monitored environment. We appreciate the informative updates emailed through about the daily activities accompanied by gorgeous photos. I would definitely recommend this centre.
