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.

Meet the team

Hi my name is Gessika and I am the Centre Manager at First Grammar Fairfield. I began my career in early learning in 2009 and started at First Grammar Fairfield in 2011 having completed a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood.

I chose this career as it gives me the ability to shape our next generation considering that today’s children are tomorrow’s future. I love knowing that every time I come to work, I make a difference in children’s lives, especially when I get to see them develop and flourish under our care.

Throughout my years working in early childhood, I’ve learned that children learn through play and if they are provided with an environment that is challenging, stimulating and aesthetically pleasing, they will become confident and capable explorers. Children develop best when they are given the opportunity to engage in a wide range of different activities planned by field experts and for their particular age group. Therefore, my teaching style focuses on the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs, which builds a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and good wellbeing.

Having your child attend our centre is very important in preparing them for the transition to kindergarten as it involves developing far more important skills than writing names and recognising numbers. The children will learn to become independent, to socialise and easily build friendships as well as building their resilience.

At we are committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of all children, team members, families and visitors. We have zero tolerance for child abuse and are committed to providing children with a child safe environment where they feel safe and supported.

We are committed to giving our families and children the best experience while they are attending our service. Therefore, we are well aware that this cannot happen unless we have a positive work culture that is focused on quality. We have a multicultural team and many of us have worked at for over 10 years. We are a compassionate team who believe that our smallest act of kindness can put the largest smile on a face. We constantly strive for success here and reflect on our practices daily to highlight where and how we can improve both professionally and personally.

We are all passionate about early childhood education, have an infectious and positive attitude and are excited every day to be a part of our unique calling. We believe that there are endless opportunities when working in early childhood because children see the world in a simpler way and sometimes it’s the simple path that leads to innovation.

We acknowledge that the family is the most powerful influence on each child’s life and that children benefit the most when we work in partnerships with families. This is why our engagement with families start during the enrolment process where families get the opportunity to share with us their expectations, suggestions, information about their children and home lifestyles.

We have a coffee machine for parents in the foyer to enjoy upon drop off and pick up as well as some snacks. We also hold regular celebrations and family events so we can all socialise and get to know each other beyond what the swift daily drop-off and pick ups allow.

I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!
