Day One Early Learning Centre - Deception Bay Campus

More than 80% of the educators at Day One early Learning have worked in their centres for more than five years. This is testament to the culture and community at Day One and also ensures the children have consistency and stability during their early years.

The educators all hold relevant early education qualifications, with many also in the process of further study to move into more senior positions. Day One also priorities ongoing professional development to support the educators ongoing learning. All Group Leaders are Diploma qualified and all Teachers are Bachelor qualified.

In recognition of the people parents play in their child’s development, the educators at Day One Early Learning get to know the families. They take time to understand each child’s home routine, how they approach learning and what their unique needs are. They do so in partnership with families to ensure the best outcomes for every child.

Day One Early Learning believes that parent communication should be meaningful. There is a mutual respect between educators and families, understanding the important role each plays in the children’s lives. The educators communicate openly with parents, in a platform that can be easily and securely accessed.

Families are also encouraged to share their culture, experiences, food and stories with the centre. This enhances their own child’s sense of belonging while also introducing the other children to new cultures outside of their own. This cultural exchange is a wonderful part of the program, benefitting the children, families and educators.

The centre has an open door policy and parents are invited to attend excursions, incursions and other events at the centre.

The curriculum at Day One Early Learning aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and is informed by internationally recognised best practice. Using a play-based approach, the curriculum is delivered by qualified and experienced early childhood teachers and educators.

The curriculum includes specific learning outcomes for the different ages and stages. These are then tailored to the interests and strengths of each individual child to ensure their unique needs are met.

The centre also helps to prepare the children for the transition to primary school. The Kindergarten program encourages the children to be calm, confident and curious learners, qualities they will need as they embark on their journey through school.
