The team actively partners with parents in every child’s education and development journey. They work to build a community where every family at Woodlands has the support they need to succeed and thrive.

The centre uses the Xplor Home App, allowing parents to easily stay in touch with the centre. The educators provide regular updates on the app and also notify parents about centre events.

Woodland’s also provides regular partnership meetings where parents can speak with the teachers and educators. These meetings provide an open forum to discuss education-related topics in an environment where opinions are respected and valued. The outcomes of these meetings also help to inform the program.

Our educational philosophy focuses on child development and learning. Our programs are designed to adapt to children’s needs, interests, and routines. With a team of experienced educators and teachers at various campuses, our childcare services engages your child in meaningful activities.

We believe every child is born with creativity, and childhood educators’ purpose is to nurture this. When your child’s imagination is encouraged to develop, they will become better problem solvers and communicators with improved social and emotional skills.

At Woodlands, our Campus Chefs prepare fresh, nutritious meals each day for all children, including tailored options for those with dietary requirements or allergies.

Meal times vary depending on each classroom’s age group and daily routine. Below is a guide to the meals we serve every day, at no additional cost.

Our Chefs thoughtfully design menus around the needs and preferences of children, using the Healthy Eating Advisory Service as a guide to ensure all meals meet the Healthy Eating Guidelines of Australia.
