Our passionate team is dedicated to building strong relationships with each child while providing a nurturing, stimulating learning environment. Many of our educators speak multiple languages, ensuring clear communication and support for all families. Their commitment to inclusive practices and cultural engagement enriches every child’s learning journey. With a happy, long-standing team, we create a stable, supportive atmosphere where children form lasting connections with their educators and develop a strong sense of belonging.

Our team of experienced Early Childhood Teachers brings extensive knowledge to our programs. Cindy and Jasmeen lead the 4-year-old kindergarten room, while Simran, Nayani, and Palvir guide the 3-year-old group. Each educator contributes their unique skills, creating a dynamic and enriching environment that supports every child's growth and development.

We create a fun, engaging atmosphere with a variety of learning experiences and educational programs including:

• Incursions
  We regularly host visits from community members such as police, fire brigades, and health professionals. Children also engage in hands-on learning through the Bridging Project, where construction workers showcase machinery.
• Regular Outings & Excursions: We actively participate in the community, visiting local parklands and engaging in collaborative experiences with local organisations.
• School Readiness Program: Strong connections with local schools provide opportunities for transition activities and visits, helping children confidently prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
• Yoga, Sport, Dance & Music: Our educators lead fun sports, dance, and music sessions, promoting physical and creative expression.
• Cultural Celebrations & Families
  We encourage families to participate in our activities by sharing music, traditions, and cultural experiences.  We regularly celebrate a range of cultural and community events, strengthening the bond between families and educators.
• Sustainability & Kitchen Garden Program
  Children engage in hands-on sustainability initiatives, growing fresh produce for meals and learning about composting and worm farming under the guidance of our Sustainability Champion, Sheree.
• Play-Based Learning: Through inquiry-based learning, children are encouraged to explore, question, and develop a natural curiosity about the world around them.

Our in-house chef, Yuko, prepares fresh, balanced meals daily, catering to all cultural and dietary requirements. The menu features a variety of international dishes, giving children the opportunity to explore new flavours and develop healthy eating habits. Yuko also visits classrooms to conduct fun, interactive cooking classes, introducing children to diverse cuisines, including sushi-making.

Pathway to School

Our 3-year-old Kindergarten and 4-year-old Pre-Prep programs nurture young learners as they gain confidence, make decisions, and develop emotional strength and social connections. Children learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and express themselves while building key skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication. They also explore healthy choices, personal responsibility, and creative thinking in an engaging and supportive environment.

We provide inquiry-based curriculum through play - across exciting learning areas, including:

• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
• Language and Literacy
• Active and Involved Citizens
• Nature Play and Sustainability
• The Arts
• Health and Wellbeing

With a balance of small and whole-group experiences, both indoors and outdoors, children are encouraged to wonder, discover, and grow - preparing them for a bright future ahead!

STRONG Beginnings Curriculum

We believe every child’s learning journey is unique.

Our learning approach is based on educational research where every day your child can develop 21st-century skills being prepared for school and life. 

This tailored approach nurtures children’s learning and growth as they develop skills such as socialisation, emotional regulation, building resilience, and understanding the importance of caring for their body and brain through our mindfulness and nutrition programs.

Our passionate educators build strong relationships with both children and families, ensuring every child is nurtured, valued, and encouraged to develop a love for learning.
