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 by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water 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 and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddler children 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 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 encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning. 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 development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.
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, is supported through group learning environments. 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. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.
Morning
Bianca 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. Bianca 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
Bianca has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Bianca a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Bianca and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Bianca’s favourite book.
Morning
Hunter 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, Hunter is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Hunter identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Hunter is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Hunter is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Hunter picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Hunter and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Hunter 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, Hunter is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Hunter’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Gina is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Gina and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Gina is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Gina sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Gina takes part in the centre’s sports program. Gina loves sports. Sports helps Gina improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Gina is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Gina 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 healthy and 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.
Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Angela, and I am the Centre Manager here at Greenwood Chatswood East. I began my career in Early Childhood Education and Care in 2007 and I have completed a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Early Childhood and a Master of Teaching. I have experience working in various early childhood settings such as community-based preschool, family day care, long day care, cultural play group and Sunday school. I have experience working with children with additional needs and supporting them to transition to Kindergarten.
Each child is unique, and we should all work towards what is best for each child. It is important to understand the child and build secure relationships to support their learning and development as all children learn in their own way and pace. I want to provide the best teaching that I can provide to support their learning and development. I do not want to provide ‘one size to fit all’ approach. This is the reason why I continue to study to learn and provide quality teaching to provide tailored teaching methods within both traditional and contemporary early childhood perspectives.
Greenwood Chatswood East opened in May 2019 and our team have been working together for a long period. All team members are familiar with our children and families within the centre. Our team members are from various cultures such as Greek, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Pakistan and Nepal. We welcome and accommodate diversity in our care and education. Most of our educators are a parent of a child or children, we understand how families are feeling and expecting from the educators when they leave their child/ren with us. The Greenwood Chatswood East team are passionate about Early Childhood Education and proud of their profession. We strive to provide high quality of care to meet each child’s individual needs and requirements.
We aim to ensure we provide you with all the support you and your child need when starting at our centre. We assist new families to understand the environment, routines, and access to children’s documentation. We assist families with completing enrolment forms and Child Care Subsidy. We understand the Child Care Subsidy can be confusing and as a parent myself I can help families to understand how it works and help them complete it. We offer and encourage families to attend an orientation for a smooth transition for children.
We aim to make families lives easier by providing coffee and fresh fruit for families during their drop off. We love to celebrate various events with our families. A fun fact about me is that I loved making origami and doing hopscotch when I was young. I also used to teach violin for preschool and primary school children.
Our team at Greenwood Chatswood East cannot wait to meet your family and share in this exciting early education journey with you.

Wonderful, interactive and full of learning. So much activity, craft and fun play for all the children, day in day out. Best feature... Wonderful, interactive and full of learning. So much activity, craft and fun play for all the children, day in day out. Best feature is the staff, they are incredibly caring and supportive for individual needs. They have lots of family activities during the year but not too many to handle. Communication, parking and checkin in/out is fast, easy and reliable. We started in May 2023 and couldn’t be happier with every aspect of the centre. Highly recommend. Read more
