About the curriculum
About the curriculum
The educators at Pebble Patch Early Learning Centre 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 four rooms at the centre:
- Nursery: 6 weeks - 18 months
- Toddler: 18 months - 3 years
- Pre Kinder: 3 years - 4 years
- Kinder: 4 years - 5 years

It really does have a home away from home vibe. Educators have been supportive and caring, and the Centre Manager, Linnea, is so kind and supportive to all children, families and team alike. The service is beautiful, and the children have such a range of experiences to enjoy. I can't recommend enough - thankyou to the whole team for making us feel so welcome! Read more

Sharing positive feedback regarding the management staff and structure of Pebble Patch ELC and Mayfield. Having two children in care full time, its a wonderful relief knowing the care, exploration and education the center provides. It's a sensational environment for all children adapting to all individual needs. The staff are our family, and they are so passionate about all children. The seasonal changes in focus, programs and celebration of worldly and culture days are not only inspiring for the children but parents too. Amazing place to be enrolled in. Read more

As a parent, choosing the right childcare is one of the most important — and nerve-wracking — decisions you can make. I'm incredibly grateful we found Pebble patch, and I truly can't recommend them enough. From the very first day, the staff made both me and my child feel welcome and supported. My son who is 19month old , quickly warmed up to the nurturing environment. The caregivers are warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my child is in a safe, loving, and educational setting while I’m at work. I especially appreciate: • The daily updates and photos — they make me feel connected to my child’s day. • The clean, safe, and stimulating environment. • The focus on early learning through play, creativity, and structured routines. • How well the staff communicates and handles any questions or concerns. My child has blossomed since starting at pebble patch— socially, emotionally, and even with early learning skills like learning different shapes, new words, recognising different colours, eating/ drinking habits. Thank you to the amazing team for everything you do. You’ve made a huge difference in our lives! Read more

Our lil girl has been attending for the last 5 months & I cannot speak highly of Candace, Michelle & the Gumnuts team. They are so welcoming first thing in the morning & make the transition as smooth as possible. As a parent using daycare for the first time, they all made it as easy as possible for our family. Linnea is amazing & always welcoming. Donna in the kitchen is always cooking up wonderful meals for the kids, the place smells amazing first thing in the morning. Good communication with the educators & regular updates & such cute pics of our child with her friends during the day. We can’t wait to continue our journey with this amazing group of people Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a day care provider Read more

Our child has been attending the centre fulltime for almost 4 years now. The educators are absolutely wonderful—not only are they caring and attentive, but they’re also truly focused on teaching and helping the children grow and learn every day. Even the chef is amazing, shoutout to Donna! —engaging with both the kids and parents, and always making sure meals and snacks are healthy, fun, and something the children genuinely look forward to. It’s rare to find a centre where every staff member is so involved and invested in the children’s development and happiness. Highly recommend! Read more

Pebble Patch is an incredible and nurturing centre that has been such a positive part of our daughter early years. The educators are absolutely amazing—warm, professional, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. Communication is always clear and consistent, whether it’s through the daily updates at pick-up or the regular posts on Storypark, which we really appreciate as engaged parents. Our girl comes home happy and tired—always a great indicator that she’s had a full day of learning, playing, and burning off that endless toddler energy! The activities are thoughtfully planned and varied, keeping her stimulated and excited to return each day. As a biracial family, it means a great deal to us that our girl is surrounded by diversity not just at home, but also in her early learning environment. It’s beautiful to see how Pebble Patch embraces and celebrates multiculturalism through its staff, curriculum, and inclusive approach. We’re so grateful to have found a centre that not only cares deeply for our child, but also reflects the values that are important to our family. Thank you to the incredible Pebble Patch team for creating such a welcoming, inclusive, and joyful space for our little girl to grow. Read more
