About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

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.

Meet the team

Hi my name is Taranjot and I am the Centre Manager here at The Learning Sanctuary Norwood. I started working in Early learning in 2018 and have been in various roles over the years. I joined the team at The Leaning Sanctuary Norwood in 2023. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education.

All children are born with curiosity and potential. It is our job to both nurture and help children develop by exploring the world in which they live. I believe in allowing children to be independent and make their own decisions within a secure and stimulating environment. I pride myself on building relationships with children and their families, ensuring their time spent in our care is safe and joyful. I will continually provide families with positive outcomes and support them in their care journey.

We have a long-standing team with a variety of multicultural members who reflect the community. The majority of our staff team have worked at the centre for many years. We provide high-quality education and care and have great satisfaction watching our children evolve as they learn and grow through play and socialising with others. We pride ourselves on our relationships with children, their families, and their community. Our team has permanent staff that work in individual rooms, providing consistency and continuity throughout the Centre. We also have our in-house cook who provides balanced and nutritional food for children, including all dietary requirements and preferences.

Communication is a big focus at our Centre. We constantly communicate with our families via our all-in-one family app, Xplor, through posts, emails, phone calls and face-to-face. During our orientation process, we speak with the families about what is important to them and introduce them to the staff in the room. We also give parents a welcome pack with the personal philosophy written by all team members.

I look forward to welcoming your family into our centre community.
