Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

Communication & support for families: The centre prides itself on its relationships with families, providing verbal feedback daily, sharing 'Daily Reflection' emails and monthly newsletters. Parents are offered the chance to enjoy regular 'Date Nights' where the children are cared for as a free service. There is also an option to purchase family meals from the chef, to take home on busy nights. 

Homelike, natural environments: Inside and out, the centre is resourced to feel like home, encouraging children to feel safe and secure within familiar environments. All of the design elements, play equipment, furniture and resources are natural colours and materials.

Food, health & nutrition: The centre's food, health and nutrition philosophy is focused on fresh, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients that provide variety and new tastes for the children. The onsite chef cooks meals from scratch, with the children being involved in many elements of food preparation, including baking, serving and hygiene.

Community connection: Children engage with local schools; proudly display some of their artwork in the nearby park; they bake morning tea for local emergency services; they visit aged care facilities, send them messages and make video calls. Local, young families are welcome to join the centre's free weekly activities.

Highly experienced Founders: with over 30 years of Early Learning experience, Founders Kat and Peter personally design each centre and are actively involved in leading a team of passionate and experienced educators to create the unique Paisley Park culture.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

There are five rooms at Paisley Park Prospect. Each child receives tailored programs and experiences to meet their individual learning and development needs.

Darwin Room: 6 weeks – 12 months

Named after acclaimed natural scientist Charles Darwin, who spent most of his life exploring the diversity of living things with particular interest in adaptation. Similarly, children of this age are curious and readily adjust as they transition to a new environment. Parents can feel confident knowing that their Educators are there to guide them as they become increasingly curious about their world, introducing experiences and supporting them to explore new surroundings and establish new relationships with carers and friends.

Mozart Room:1 year – 2 years

Famous for creating piano concertos and symphonies, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart spent most of his life mastering music that depicted charm and expressed humour, joy and sorrow. The exploration of such emotions is commonplace for children at this age as they begin to exercise their independence and socialise with like-minded friends.  This environment is full of sounds and textures, designed to complement children’s learning.  Age-appropriate experiences and resources are provided to support children as they explore and meet developmental milestones.

Edison Room: 2 years - 3 years

Thomas Edison rose from humble beginnings to develop technology and make his inventions widely available and useful.  Invention is commonplace for children of this age as they become inquisitive and exploratory in their place.  Providing an abundant selection of resources within varied environments allows the imaginative creators to push boundaries and showcase their learning every minute of the day.  Interacting with their peers teaches them social skills such as turn taking and making a friend.

Picasso Room: 3 years – 4 years

Remembered for his contributions to the art world, Pablo Picasso was a dynamic painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist who experimented with many art styles and themes in his long-lasting career.  Children in this room are encouraged to experience and push boundaries, using their intelligence and creativity. They are supported by their Educators to discover their incredible capacity to persist when challenged.

Einstein Room: 4 years – 5 years

Famous for his theory of relativity, Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist whose intellectual achievements crowned him as the greatest genius who ever lived.  Children of this age have rapid cognitive development and play becomes more complex. The children in this room want to try new experiences, seek to become self-reliant and want to become independent decision makers.  Educators support this energy and independence by providing experiences to challenge thinking and this includes participation within the School Preparation Program.

Health & Nutrition

Health & Nutrition

The nutritional philosophy of Paisley Park Prospect is as follows: 

Best quality produce: the centre believes that healthy eating means using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients which keep children nourished and energised. The seasonal menus are designed in conjunction with well-known chef, Miguel Maestre. 

Whole foods cooked from scratch: all meals are prepared completely from scratch by the onsite chef – everything from bread to jam and tomato sauce is made in-house. 

Active participants: children enjoy a wide range of healthy and delicious food. They eat in a designated space for meals, and engage with everything from preparation of the meals, serving themselves, socialising with peers, and cleaning up. Children use real crockery to enhance their dining experience, teaching them to respect and look after cutlery. 

Cooking experiences: children are regularly exposed to opportunities to get creative in the kitchen with the onsite chef. The kitchen plays an important role in the centre with children enjoying their regular cooking experiences. 

Sustainability: children learn where their food comes from through hands-on activities such as collecting eggs, picking herbs and vegetables from the vegetable garden, worm farming, composting and water conservation.

My son started attending at 6 months of age, and we have had nothing but fabulous support and care for him over the last 18 months. Bek the director takes on all feedback and is incredibly proactive. The staff genuinely care and go above and beyond. We love the community the centre has created and feel so lucky to have social activities offered such as pizza nights, Mother’s Day celebrations, Christmas parties etc allowing us to build relationships with staff and other parents. The food is incredible and super healthy. Take home meals also a life saver. We feel so lucky to have Paisley Park and the team at prospect supporting us raise our child.

We’ve been attending Paisley for years and throughout our daughter (and now sons) enrolment we’ve loved this daycare for so many reasons. Our kids have always had exceptional care with responsive staff. We’ve also appreciated the little extras, date nights, parenting seminars, take home meals and events which help to build such a beautiful community. 5 stars, no notes!

We absolutely love Paisley Park at Prospect! My 4yr old has been going since 4 months old and it is such a family community. They are fantastic with the kids and keep us up to date with their days quite thoroughly. Chef Matteo is incredible, the kids absolutely adore him and no matter how much food prep he is doing, the kitchen is always immaculate! He has also done in class cooking sessions with the kids such as making dough to make their own pizzas! There is also a fridge of take home meals for families with a rotating menu weekly at a great price and it is so handy for those busy or lazy nights! There is also a community room where parents can make themself a coffee or grab a little nibble and chat with other parents in passing. Every now and then Chef Matteo puts out a breakfast on the go spread for morning drop off. I find the cleanliness of the whole centre fantastic! We are very well informed of sickness' circulating and they do deep cleans. 😊 Their programs are great and my little man loves going! They have some fantastic incursions as well as pets on site such as chickens, birds and fish so they learn about the cycle of life, looking after them, cleaning, feeding and collecting eggs from the chooks. They learn so much independence including how to serve their own food from a young age and clean up after themselves. It is very well structured compared to when we chat to parents from other centres and find our son has learnt so many great things from attending. There are ample amounts of outdoor play areas including a huge undercover space where they can close the rollerdoors when it is raining/bad weather so they can still do things outdoors but enclosed. The 2 biggers classes are on the other end of the 3 smaller classes so have separate play areas but do mix areas too. The centre feels very open with glass windows everywhere creating a lot of natural sunlight and ensuring all educators can see eachother at all times including the bathroom area to prevent any concerns of anything inappropriate occurring. The bathrooms are well designed and the children are well supported through toilet training. It is the only childcare we toured that didn't feel like a jail cell at the time and makes us feel so calm and happy sending him there knowing he is in a beautiful and loving environment 😊 we have since moved living from the area and toured places closer but have kept him there because nothing has compared to Paisley Park Prospect and will be sending our baby there when the time comes!. Bek (Director) and the whole team have done a fantastic job with getting the Prospect site on it's feet as it opened 4 years ago and they always have a smile when you are coming or going for the day. All the staff are very approachable and always open for a chat! I find the educators make a great effort to inform us of our childs day as best as they can amongst the chaos. We are well informed with transitioning rooms and it is very well thought out and the children are very well supported through that phase 😊 They do monthly date nights where you can leave your child there for a couple hrs, pizza nights to get to chat with the educators and other parents in the same room, informative seminars and family fun events with Mothers Day being the most recent one 😊 Nappy changes, amounts of food eaten, milk intake, and naps are all noted on paper which is on display for you to view on pickup. Daily reflections and the Chefs menu for the day is in the KindyHub app including pictures. You also get individual portfolios monthly. There is monthly newsletters and prompt emails of staff changes/illnesses and anything else important. We are always well informed of any incidents with a phone call which then follows with an incident report. They also have a great transition to school program and we are feeling very well supported through the process :) highly recommend booking a tour!
