About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum
“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years
Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and a child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Preschool children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Preschool year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, are supported through group learning experiences. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the Preschool year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Ellie is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Ellie is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Ellie has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Ellie a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Ellie and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Ellie’s favourite book.
Morning
Josh is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Josh is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Josh identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Josh is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Josh is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Josh picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Josh and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Josh enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Josh is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Josh’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Charlotte is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Charlotte and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Charlotte is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Charlotte sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Charlotte takes part in the centre’s sports program. Charlotte loves sports. Sports helps Charlotte improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Charlotte is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Charlotte and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition
Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Lianne, and I am the Centre Manager here at Community Kids Leumeah. My career in early childhood education started in 1995. I started as the Centre Manager at Community Kids Leumeah in January 2023. I completed the Associate Diploma in Social Science (Child Studies) in 1997 and have also completed a Certificate III in Training and Assessment in 2023. I began working in a long day care centre in 1995 whilst I studied the diploma. Since then, I have worked my way up from Educator Assistant to Room Leader and then progressed to Centre Director and have also worked as a Family Day Care educator and coordinator and now am the Centre Manager.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to look after children. I feel I have a natural flair and passion with children and commit to ensuring each child is given the respect and care they deserve. I love watching children explore, learn, and grow and enjoy being a part of this experience. I have learnt that children are capable, caring and thrive in an environment that supports their learning journey. I like to approach children with care and respect and give them opportunities to experience many opportunities to practice, learn and grow. I believe that guiding children positively impacts the way they will interact with others.
I like to role model positive interactions with others so that the children can see how being positive and kind can help you achieve greatness. I believe that children can achieve many skills and just need to be given the time and support to guide them toward success.
I like to inform families that children need to be exposed to many different environments to allow them the opportunity to learn. Children need to be around other children to be able to practice social skills, communication and conversations, problem solving, building resilience and turn taking. All skills that we use throughout our entire life. I believe a mixture of home life with their family and attending early education and care is a recipe for success.
My team are passionate about outcomes for children. They genuinely care for the children and enjoy every moment with the children. My team are committed and caring and have lovely relationships with both children and families of our service. I like to be open, honest, and transparent with families. My door is always open, and I am happy guide families through their experience at our service.

My family have been attending Community Kids Leumeah for the last 5 years and have had the most amazing care. The centre is very family oriented and when you drop your child off, it feels like you’re leaving them with family members. My sons have learnt so many vital learning outcomes to be ready for Kindergarten confidently. If you’re looking for a childcare centre that gives you their full attention, accommodates to you and goes above and beyond then this is the one! You won’t be disappointed. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with a smiley face by the centre manager, Lianne. Read more

Incredibly happy with the love, care and support that has been shown to not only my children, but also my family, over the last 7 years at CK Leumeah. We have recently left the centre due to relocation and it was honestly like we were leaving my childs second family. I am positive that the educators and CM have left lifelong impressions and memories with my kids and have aided in them growing into the beautiful children they are today. It was a great comfort leaving my kids in such capable hands, and it will be very hard for another centre to live up to the expectations they have set for us. I cannot recommend highly enough, and if you are looking for a centre that cares for your child as if they are one of their own, look no further. We will seriously miss you guys! thanks again for everything x Read more
