We have created a 6 week menu that includes a cultural dish from all our children, families and staff's cultural backgrounds. We cater to all allergies and dietary requirements. We get the children involved in cooking in regular cooking experiences. 

We have an extra curricular rooms in our Centre to extend the childrens learning. It is a space where the children can engage in physical activity even when the weather is not great outside. We have a trampoline, stepping stones, sensory cushions and much more avaliable inside to keep the children active. We have yoga mats which we use to complete yoga classes with the children. We have a large smartboard set up to extend the childrens learning. We use RAMSR Rhythm and Music for Self Regulation in this space to help the children with their self regulation and grow their love of music and movement. 

Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I am the Centre Manager here at Great Beginnings Orange. When children feel safe and secure, they can confidently be themselves, develop their skills, and explore their interests.

My journey in early learning began in 2016, and I joined the team at Great Beginnings Orange in 2019. Since primary school, I have aspired to be an early childhood teacher. I love the idea of working with children to help them develop their skills and reach their full potential. Watching children achieve significant milestones and become part of their families’ lives is incredibly rewarding.

I have learnt that no two children are the same, which means my teaching style continuously evolves to meet their current needs. My approach focuses on building strong relationships with both children and families. When children feel safe and secure, they can confidently be themselves, develop their skills, and explore their interests.

We cater to the individual needs of each child, incorporating their interests and skills into their learning from nursery until they transition to kindergarten. We keep families informed through our fortnightly newsletter and regular discussions with their educators.

Our team is very multicultural, bringing a range of skills and experiences in early childhood education to the Centre. They are supportive of one another and always welcoming to new team members. I prioritise building strong relationships with families by being available for discussions, listening to their feedback and suggestions, and implementing them into the Centre. My goal is to support families in any way they need.

We look forward to welcoming your family to our Orange early learning centre and being a part of your children’s early learning journey.
