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
Todd 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, Todd is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Todd identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Todd is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Todd is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Todd picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Todd and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Todd 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, Todd is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Todd’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Carly is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Carly and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Carly is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Carly sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Carly takes part in the centre’s sports program. Carly loves sports. Sports helps Carly improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Carly is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Carly 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.

My approach is all about fostering a space where children feel valued, understood, and empowered to explore the world around them.”
My early learning journey began in 2011. Over the past 9 years, I’ve worked in various roles with G8 Education, which has deepened my passion for guiding and supporting educators in delivering a safe and nurturing learning environment.
I believe every child is capable, resilient, and full of potential. I’ve learned that children thrive when they feel safe and supported, which is why I focus on creating a nurturing environment that responds to each child’s individual strengths, interests, and needs. My approach is all about fostering a space where children feel valued, understood, and empowered to explore the world around them.
At Creative Garden Kellyville Ridge early education centre, we have a small, close-knit team of early childhood educators with a diverse range of qualifications, from Certificate III to Diploma and Bachelor of Teaching. This blend of expertise enriches our approach to teaching and learning, allowing us to offer a holistic and varied educational experience. We work collaboratively with families, valuing their input and providing transparent documentation to support their understanding of their child’s development.
Building strong, positive relationships with families is key. We create a welcoming environment, encouraging open communication and feedback to ensure that we are supporting families every step of the way on their child’s learning journey.

I’m writing to share how upset and stressed I’ve been about something very important. As a first-time parent, I trusted that the childcare manager would guide me or tell me if I needed to do something. When i first enrolled my son in 2023 my CCS was approved and I was not paid anything, i was paying out of my pocket, I contacted centrelink just to ask about the process and they said my child has been absent they can not see enrollment or attendance in centre. This is what I have been asking centre manager and she failed to answer and. also she was unaware of anything. She did not know how the system or how to guide us. Now for almost more than a year of fighting about this matter nothing can be done. I won’t be paid for the amount which I paid to child care. I assumed the CCS would be sorted automatically or given at the end, but that never happened. I made many many calls, heaps of visit to centre link and many emails and tried to fix the issue, but no nothing can be done, I was told nothing could be done. As financial year has passed, although I escalated this matter in 2023 to centrelink same year i ended care for my son. But the department took so much time about this matter that nothing can be done now. This has caused a lot of stress and financial loss. I feel it was the manager’s responsibility to explain CCS properly—especially to new parents like me. One conversation could have made a big difference. Read more

Our son started his early education journey in January at Creative Garden Kellyville Ridge. The nurturing environment and incredible staff, especially Miss Eadie, Miss Prahba and Miss Helen in the toddler room, have made a significant positive impact both on his transition into the centre and his development.
