School Readiness Program 

Our government-approved Preschool program and stimulating classrooms and playgrounds further encourage your child’s growth and development, while helping them build confidence socially, emotionally and physically. We embed state-approved early learning curriculums to ensure your child feels comfortable in a classroom environment when it comes time to transition into Big School.  

Incursions and Excursions 

Children have so many interests, and we engage their curiosity with a wide range of incursions and excursions. These programs provide further opportunities to connect with health and wellbeing, animals and nature, and the larger community.  

Healthy Children Learning Approach  

In our centre we link our educational programs, incursions, excursions, events and day-to-day activities based on six key themes: 

• Healthy Minds 
• Healthy Bodies 
• Healthy Food 
• Healthy Families 
• Healthy World 
• Healthy Communities 

By focusing our activities, learnings, incursions, excursions and more around centralised these themes, we are encouraging children to develop their understanding and core skills in each of these key areas of life.

Sustainability Focus 

As a part of the centre's Healthy World focus, we prioritise a sustainable approach to connecting with the world around us. Children can explore conservation, social responsibility, and the environment through activities such as gardening, recycling projects, environmental days, or recycling stations.  

Play-Based Learning 

Our play-based learning approach is a unique, research-driven approach to early years education that is designed to grow a love of lifelong learning in every child, from babies to school age and beyond. Play is a way that children interact with the world around them, helping them develop social skills they’ll use every day to interact and communicate with others. 

Babies

Our nursery rooms are designed to care for children from 6 weeks up to 18 months. We incorporate the Circle of Security and Primary Caregiver approaches to support our littlest learners during this exciting period of development. The nursery is designed with spaces for babies to explore and play, sleep safely, and enjoy their meals. Our Educators will provide a daily record of all feeds, sleeps and moods.  

Toddlers

Our toddler rooms are designed to care for children from 18 months to 3 years old. Careful care is taken to ensure the rooms reflect the interests of the toddlers and to stimulate enquiry, exploration, and engagement, while also providing welcoming quiet spaces for ‘alone time’. Educators encourage play-based learning activities to help build confidence and encourage social skills.  

Preschool

Our preschool rooms are designed to care for children from 3 years to 5 years old. They offer state-approved early learning curriculums as part of our School Readiness program and ensures that each child feels confident and prepared to enter a classroom environment.  Activities involving science, technology, math, reading, writing, community events and excursions are the key focus in this room.
