Young Academics Early Learning Centre - Woodcroft

Our Transition to School program at Young Academics is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for the exciting adventure of formal education. Recognising the significance of this pivotal milestone, our Transition to School program focuses on cultivating the essential skills and confidence needed for a successful transition to school life. 

Our dedicated educators work closely with each child, providing support to ensure they feel emotionally ready for the next chapter of their educational journey. Through a blend of structured learning, play, and interactive experiences, we aim to instill a love for learning while nurturing their independence and resilience. 

At Young Academics, we take pride in guiding children towards a seamless and positive start to their school years, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of academic success and personal growth.

At Young Academics, we pride ourselves on our signature approach to early learning education programs that meet the needs of every child, with the support of our well-resourced environments and sector-leading educators.

Our programs are strongly aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Framework. The principles that underpin the United Nations on the Rights of the Child guide and inform our practices. 

Evolution Program (0-3):

We recognise the importance of the first three years of a child’s life and as such, ensure individuals approach their growth and development. The Young Academics Evolution Program is designed to support children from birth to three years to reach their developmental milestones and build the necessary skills to support their future learning. 

Transition to school Program (3-5):

At Young Academics, we understand the importance of the formative preschool years in preparing children for school, and our program will help them prepare emotionally, cognitively, and physically for this significant transition. 

As your child prepares to start ‘big school’, our Transition to School Program recognises the importance of formative preschool years in terms of building their emotional, cognitive, and physical development. 

Beyond the core curriculum, we offer a range of enrichment activities, including music & movement, STEAM & Nutrition. These activities are designed to spark creativity, boost self-confidence, and enhance fine and gross motor skills.

A child’s first five years are crucial in developing healthy eating behaviours, exploring new foods and meeting nutritional requirements to help them grow and develop. Nutrition is also integral to improving children’s wellbeing, self-confidence, and ability to concentrate. 

At Young Academics, we understand our early learning environments play a pivotal role in exposing children to a variety of nourishing foods and promoting healthy eating habits for life. 

Our holistic Nutrition Program allows children to take part in preparing and serving their meals and learn about the important connection between hygiene, physical activity, and healthy eating.

Our nutritious seasonal four-week rotating menu meets 50% of your child’s daily nutritional requirements by serving a healthy variety of foods such as vegetables, fruits, lean meat, fish, chicken, dairy products and more.
