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 supporting 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
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 Mariana, and I am the Centre Manager here at Community Kids Broadbeach Waters. My early learning career started in 2007 and I have been working at Community Kids Broadbeach Waters ever since. I hold an Advance Diploma in Children's Services.
I love children and love to watch them grow. It is very rewarding to see their development each day and have a meaningful impact on their lives. I've learned that each child is unique and we should enable them to be individuals. I want our children to learn and grow at their own pace and naturally develop their talents and personalities. I believe in taking the time to learn more about each child and what they need to be successful. As educators, we communicate with families to understand the child's strengths, interests and limitations so we can make adjustments along the way. Here at Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, we make children feel loved, welcomed and valued so they can develop a sense of belonging and build their confidence.
In a dedicated early learning environment, children learn to socialise and communicate better. They learn to share their spaces, attention, and toys, growing more independently than at home. They develop their skills quickly as they watch other children and want to be part of a group.
My team is a very loving and caring team. We have excellent communication with families, team members, and children, making them feel welcome and comfortable at our centre. We are a very inclusive team, as we are all from different cultures and backgrounds.
We regularly communicate with our families and I am always here to support them. I am always interested to know how their day was and how their children are doing in their classroom. We are always open to suggestions and accept all feedback for continuous improvement.

Our 2 year old boy has been attending this kindy for over 6 months and I cannot express how happy we are with how the centre is helping him to develop. Bernadette and the team are so kind, helpful and care about the children. Our boy has come on heaps, they provide daily updates on activities, excellent meal selections and always have them engaged in tasks to help with social interactions, speech and problem solving. Special mention to Bernadette, we have 100% trust in her and couldn’t be happier. Read more

I am writing to share what we consider in our opinion a serious safety concern that we experienced at this centre. During a tour to another centre, our 2-year-old daughter picked up a sharp metal nail/tack from a table in one of the older rooms. This was particularly concerning, as she often puts things in her mouth and small, sharp objects such as these pose a significant choking hazard. Before touring Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, my husband raised these concerns with the Centre Manager, Mariana, both over the phone and in person. She assured us that there were no nails or sharp objects in the 2.5 to 3.5-year-old room. However, when we arrived on our daughter’s first day at Community Kids Broadbeach Waters, we were dismayed to find children from the next door, older room at a table playing with a hammer and nail/tack set, with these small metal pieces scattered across the table. It only takes a few seconds for a smaller child to grab one of these and create a very serious issue! This situation not only contradicts Education and Care Services National Regulations but also basic common sense. The product labelling clearly states that it is only suitable for children aged 4 and older and warns of a serious small part choking hazard (see images of a similar set). In summary, we were shocked to discover this. Although the Manager apologised, we were very unimpressed with her excuses and seemingly relaxed attitude toward safety, especially given that we had clearly expressed our concerns directly to her beforehand. As a result we immediately pulled our daughter out of this centre before she even started because we had no confidence in her safety there. We hope this review serves as a warning to other concerned families considering this centre. Read more
