About the curriculum
About the curriculum
The educators at Mayfield Sydenham understand that for children, the first eight years are fundamental in establishing core values, sense of identity, and self-worth.
They see parents and families as the first educator, and that their role is to work together in a collaborative and supportive way on a child’s learning journey.
The educational philosophies at the centre are based on the Reggio Emilia approach to learning which supports enquiry and play-based learning opportunities in natural and responsive environments. The learning programs are designed to be emergent in nature and guided by the children’s interests and needs.
The centre’s learning programs are informed by both the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) which is based on the fundamental belief that children’s lives are characterised as “Belonging, Being and Becoming”; and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) which identifies five learning outcomes for children that the centre strives toward:
- Children have a strong sense of identity (IDENTITY)
- Children are connected with and contribute to their world (COMMUNITY)
- Children have a strong sense of wellbeing (WELLBEING)
- Children are confident and involved learners (LEARNING)
- Children are effective communicators (COMMUNICATION)
There are five rooms at the centre covering the following age groupings:
- Nursery: 6 weeks - 18 months
- Toddler 1: 15 months - 2.5 years
- Toddler 2: 2.5 years - 3 years
- Pre Kinder: 3 years - 4 years
- Kinder: 4 years - 5 years

I have been in the early education sector for 20 years, stopping briefly to have 2 children. I have an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and strongly believe in working, and building relationships with the children and families of my service, collaborating together to to ensure that all children have the best opportunity for development. Through nurturing a child's mind, creativity and interests, in a safe, caring and fun environment, we, as educators, support the development of all children into the amazing young people they will be in the future.

Our family have been attending this centre for a number of years as we have transitioned from nursery right through to 4 year old kinder. It feels more like a welcoming family than a daycare centre as every educator knows each child and parent and it genuinely feels like they truly care for each and every child. Open and honest communication throughout. Most importantly my kids LOVE going. It isnt chaotic with over full rooms which is another reason why we love this place! Such a relief to know they are really well cared for in such a warm and nurturing environment. Read more

Our experience at Mayfield Early Education in Sydenham has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment our son started, we've been consistently impressed by the incredible dedication and warmth of the entire team. The staff at Mayfield truly deserve the highest praise. Individuals like Tayla, Dhivya, Kanya, and Dana, along with many others, consistently go above and beyond. Their genuine care for the children is evident in every interaction. They are not only highly professional but also incredibly responsive and warm, creating a truly comforting and engaging environment for the little ones. Under the superb leadership of Kylie, the manager, Mayfield operates with remarkable efficiency and a clear focus on child-centered care. She fosters a positive and supportive atmosphere that clearly permeates through the entire staff. We are particularly appreciative of the excellent attention our son receives. He is always attended to very well, and the commitment to hygiene is truly excellent, providing us with immense peace of mind. Knowing he is in such capable and caring hands makes all the difference. Mayfield Early Education, Sydenham, provides a genuinely nurturing and stimulating environment where children thrive. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking exceptional early education and care. Read more

Both of my daughters have attended Mayfield Kindergarten — my eldest is now in primary school, and my youngest is currently there — and I truly can't say enough good things about this centre. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted with warmth, kindness, and smiles. The staff are absolutely wonderful — caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It feels more like a family than a childcare setting. The environment is always clean, safe, and inviting, and you can tell the children are happy and thriving. My daughters have both loved going there, and it's been so reassuring to know they are in such good hands. All the staff go above and beyond to make every child feel seen, supported, and nurtured. Their focus on the wellbeing of each child really shines through. A very big shout out to Kylie the centre manager who from day one make us feel welcomed, supported us through the start process which can be daunting and challenging for parents needing to find the most appropriate centre for their children. Kylie made the process so easy and truly comforting to know the amount of support and help that was given and still continue to give. I have seen such a positive and significant change since bringing the children over. Mayfield is truly a special place, and I’m so grateful to have found this centre and truly blessed to have my children in such a loving, beautiful place. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a warm, loving start to their child’s early education journey! Keep up the amazing work Sydenham Mayfield team and always remember you are all much valued and appreciated beyond words. Read more

The staff are always so friendly, happy, and genuinely caring. The centre is always clean and welcoming, and you can truly see how much the team cares for each and every child. It feels like one big family—not just a daycare centre. My older daughter also attended Mayfield and is now in primary school, but she still loves coming back to pick up her younger sister. The staff always take the time to chat with her and ask how she's doing at primary, which really shows how much they care about the whole family, not just the kids currently enrolled. What makes Mayfield so special is that you're never treated like just a number. The staff always go above and beyond to support both the children and the parents, making sure everything suits your individual needs. A very special thank you to Kylie for all the love, kindness, and support you've shown our family—we truly appreciate everything you do! Mayfield has been such a beautiful part of our family's journey, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Read more

My son has been attending Sydenham Mayfield for some time now and have nothing but amazing things to say. The staff across the service are caring, friendly, and always makes sure my son is safe and happy. My child enjoys coming every day and loves all the fun activities they do. The educators always approach myself or my partner with warm and welcoming greetings both at drop off and pick ups. I also love getting updates on how my child is doing and what they’ve been up to throughout the day. Overall, it’s been a great experience, and I feel confident my child is in good hands. Highly recommend! Read more

My elder son has been attending the Sydenham centre since he was a baby, and he is now in school. My younger son is currently in the Toddlers room and has been at the centre since he was 11 months old. The staff here are absolutely amazing—very caring and supportive. They make drop-offs so much easier with their warm and welcoming approach. The cook is also fantastic, and the meals provided are great. We are very happy with the care and attention our children receive at this centre. Read more

It was a hard transition for the kids but with the patience from the team and continuous care they have settled in so well. It’s so great to see how much they love attending each day as this shows us as parents that they are safe and cared for. We can’t thank them enough and looking forward to see what the rest of the year brings for everyone. Kylie has been great the moment I meet her at watergardens I just knew my kids would be safe under her ; Kylie is very supportive and works with families to ensure their needs are meet. Thank you once again 😌😌😌 Read more

My daughter had never gone to daycare before enrolling at mayfield so I was very nervous sending her for her first day but the educators and Kylie reassured me and let me call as many times as I wanted to check in. My daughter settled in so quickly with the help and guidance of the educators. The centre management is also lovely to deal with. Communication is great when you have an issue or concern. Kylie and the Mayfield team are people I have a lot of respect and time for. Read more
