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.
Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years
Kindergarten 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 Kindergarten 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 Kindergarten 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 su pporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the kindergarten year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Kate 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. Kate 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
Kate has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Kate a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Kate and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Kate’s favourite book.
Morning
Daniel 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, Daniel is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Daniel identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Daniel is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Daniel is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Daniel picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Daniel and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Daniel 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, Daniel is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Daniel’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Holly is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Holly and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Holly is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Holly sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Holly takes part in the centre’s sports program. Holly loves sports. Sports helps Holly improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Holly is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Holly 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.

She had a great time. Everone at the centre was lovely and caring. It Really freed us from taking care of our daughter 24/7 so we could take some much needed break. Read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WHO LOVES AND PROTECT THEIR KIDS. My son who was 3 years old at the time... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WHO LOVES AND PROTECT THEIR KIDS. My son who was 3 years old at the time of the incident was pinched by an educator call Anna Vu. I did all the reports by call, email, in person. After an “INVESTIGATION PROCESS “ they came out with the response that there wasn’t enough evidence to proof it happened💔 MY KID WORD, HIS FEAR OF GOING BACK HERE, HIS BRUISE WHERE HE POINTS SHE PINCHED HIM (check the photos) WAS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT CAMERAS IN THIS FACILITY and at the time of the incident my son told me he was alone with this person who doesn’t deserve to be called educator. SHE NEVER APOLOGISED, NEVER TALKED TO MY. SHE WAS ALWAYS HIDING FROM ME AND IN ABSOLUTE FEAR. The majority of the staff are asian girls and all of them are friends unfortunately “there wasn’t a witness “ I took my son out from this facility and this people never called to see how mi son is doing or how is he feeling, they NEVER CARE ABOUT MY SON. THEIR INTEREST WAS ONLY TO PROTECT THAT “PERSON”. After Christmas holidays my son was SOO SCARED OF GOING BACK HERE so he never went back . Many teachers are yelling at kids and acting in ways that are not appropriate, if they don’t like this job they should go and find something else to do. They take advantage because there is not a single camera in this place. DON’T RISK YOUR KIDS SAFETY. TAKE THEM TO A LOVING AND CARING ENVIRONMENT. Read more

Also my child's current lead educator Cam and Gigi have been so great for his development. Everytime I come pick him up he is always having fun and he comes home energetic and in a great mood. I can't express my gratitude to Cam and Gigi and also the front desk. It would take too much time but would also thank the other staff like Thi, Therisa, Ken, Thy, Anna, Bethel, Bang, Nguyen, Marielle, Loan and Janet to name a few. Apologies if I missed anyone!

We researched on a few childcares in the local area and did the orientation only to find Rose garden by far is the best. We love all the educators that our son has had, it would be hard to name all of them all (Theresa, Grace, Jane, Cam, Gigi etc...). But each and everyone of the educators do an amazing job day in and out to ensure our sons needs are met. Thank you so much!! Highly recommend. Read more

Our 3 children attended the daycare for approximately 6 months while we temporarily lived in Melbourne. AMAZING. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. They set the expectations and bar so high for our new daycare. Very caring and attentive staff who have a genuine interest in your child's needs and development. Actively keep you informed on what your child is up to throughout the day via the Xplor app. I have so many beautiful photos of the kids now. They celebrate all cultures. Very hands on, always doing extra activities. Loved our time here. I highly recommend this Centre - you'll be rest assured your child/ren will be in good hands! Read more
