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 by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water 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 and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children 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 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 encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. 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 development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

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, is supported through group learning environments. 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. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and 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.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Margaret and I am the Centre Manager here at Parkinson World of Learning. I began my career in early childhood education and care in 1994 and started working at Parkinson World of Learning in 2002. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Children Services.  

What inspired me to pursue a career in early education and care is my love of children. The children inspire me, and I love every crazy moment of the changes they go through in the learning and development process. I enjoy watching as they grow and learn differently and how they are all unique.  

The benefits of attending a dedicated early childhood education and care centre like ours is the play-based program with guidelines from the Early Years’ Learning Framework. We implement our programs with the children’s needs, growth, and development. Our five rooms all have different projects happening to support the curiosity and exploration of the children.

We are a very diverse team with many different personalities and experiences, and we all work together to provide high quality care for our children and their families. We have formed a bond over the years and welcome new educators to our team to form a close relationship on all levels. They all work closely with the families to form relationships and encourage the growth and development of all the children.   

Our team understands just how important your children are to you and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. World of Learning Centres have extensive policy and procedures in place to assist our team in protecting children in our care. We protect all the children, all the time and are very aware of the risks associated with life in general. 

We communicate in all aspects of their child care journey, and offer parents help and support at all times. We support our families with lots of communication and help when need. 

We endeavour to give a thorough and comprehensive tour and communicate and support our families through the enrolment process. We do assist with the enrolment forms if required as well as supply the information on applying for CCS and all the steps in our all in one family app named Xplor. 

A fun fact about me is that I have a little dog called Tiny (very original) she is a bundle of energy and keeps us on our toes. I love fruit and chocolate cake. 

Welcome to Parkinson World of Learning.
