Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, the Academy of Early Learning curriculum is flexible so it can be tailored to the individuality of every child. In doing so, the educators support the children to develop their confidence and love of learning so they can build important lifelong skills.

For the children aged 0 to 3 years in the Nursery and Childcare, the play-based curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity. They engage in activities that help to develop their imagination and creativity while enhancing their social, emotional and cognitive skills. 

 In the Kindergarten and Preschool rooms, the children develop the skills they will need to succeed at school and beyond. The focus is on giving the children the emotional, physical, intellectual and language skills they will carry with them as they transition to primary school.

“Our kids absolutely love going to daycare, they ask to go on weekends! The programs are not only education, but provide inclusion through diversity. Everything we are looking for, to raise broad-minded, well-rounded, content and resilient children.”

Laura

“I still remember the first day walking into a happy, safe, warm environment which made me feel so secure, especially knowing my daughter will be well looked after. I have always been informed/briefed about her day which always makes me feel more confident she is well looked after. I couldn't be more grateful for her ongoing support and loving care with our daughter.”

Ramya

“It is such a loving, caring and stimulating environment with a plethora of activities. My son has shown tremendous improvement in group play, communication and caring for the younger ones.”

Rasika

“Our education programs are tailored to your child's individual needs, as we challenge and stimulate each child to be and become confident lifelong learners. We will take your child on a discovery of music and arts, food, culture, academic learning and emotional wellbeing. We opened this centre to create a space where your family's values are respected, whilst we also support each child to foster deep connections with themselves, their peers and their local community.”

Our values are aligned with integrity. We encompass the ideals of dignity, equity, inclusion, and respect for all

A Place to Grow Academy is a privately owned and operated centre. 

Each educator who is at our service undergoes a high-standard recruitment process to ensure the quality and standards are maintained.

All educators and staff must adhere to our core company team values and expectations.

Our Approved Provider, Centre Director and Educational Leader collaborate closely to ensure that our focus remains on high standards in all areas and at the forefront of our mission.

The team works collaboratively to ensure that the centre is like a home away from home for the children. The educators work with every child to cultivate their love of learning and set them up for success at school and beyond.

The educators are skilled at switching between group and individual learning to create a dynamic environment where collaboration and communication thrive. In partnerships with the local community, allied health, schools and the children’s families, the educators support each child’s holistic development.

At A Place To Grow Academy, the wellbeing and protection of every child is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that children flourish when they feel safe, seen, and deeply cared for — and we are dedicated to providing an environment where families have complete peace of mind.

As mandatory reporters, all of our educators are trained and legally obligated to identify and report any concerns regarding a child’s safety or welfare. This responsibility reflects our unwavering commitment to advocating for each child’s right to feel safe, respected, and protected at all times.

Our centre is proudly owner-operated, meaning that the company owner is actively involved in the day-to-day operations and personally oversees all aspects of care and compliance. This ensures that our safety standards remain exceptionally high and that every policy is guided by integrity and genuine care.

We maintain extremely low staff turnover, allowing children to form secure, long-term bonds with familiar educators who know and understand them deeply. This consistency builds trust and contributes to the calm, family-like environment that defines our service.

Our premises feature a secure entry system with cameras, and only authorised individuals are permitted access. Clear safety protocols and supervision procedures are in place across all areas of the centre, ensuring that the safety of every child, every day, is our highest priority.

At A Place To Grow Academy, safety is not just a policy — it is the foundation of the nurturing community we create together.
