About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 12 months
Our Educators partner with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The nursery children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment and enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, they enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in our light-filled learning hubs. Under the guidance of their Educators, the nursery children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals. During rest time, the nursery children have a nap under a twinkling night sky, accompanied by tranquil music which creates the perfect ambience for quality rest.
2 years - 3 years
Our toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day such as music and movement, yoga, culinary lessons, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities. As they learn about the wider world around them, the toddlers are guided by our Educators to cherish and protect the natural world through the centre’s sustainability program. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun encourages toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. During mealtimes, the toddlers enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
3 years - 4 years
Our Pre-Kinder program is designed to provide curious three-year-olds with a well-rounded play-based learning experience. Supported by qualified and experienced Educators, the children learn key skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, as well as early literacy and language skills - which lays the groundwork for success later in life. Throughout the day, the children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. During mealtimes, the children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
4 years - 6 years
Foundational life skills are pivotal in our Kinder curriculum and underpin the Positive School Transition programs we offer our children. Our Kinder learning journey celebrates the children’s individuality and encourages their love of learning through inspiring and quality play-based opportunities to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children also enjoy yoga, visits from special guests, and regular excursions to local parklands. Mealtimes are an opportunity for the children to enjoy social interactions with their friends and Educators, as well as learn about body awareness and nutrition. Practicing independence, the children help to set up, serve, and clear away their dining area. Throughout the day, the Kinder children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, outdoor fun, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The active Kinder children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track, building volcanoes in the sandpit or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.

Centre Reviews
We've had our big kid at Green Leaves Waverley Gardens for over 2 years now, starting from Tiny Tots to Kinder 2; and... We've had our big kid at Green Leaves Waverley Gardens for over 2 years now, starting from Tiny Tots to Kinder 2; and have also enrolled our baby in the Nursery room recently. Our experience has always been positive; and we see the centre as a safe and caring environment for our children where they are well looked after and have lots of fun with their friends. It seems that all the staff (no matter which room they work in) know my children by name. The educators work very hard. In the bigger kids' rooms, they try their best to cater to different needs and abilities whilst making the day as educational and fun as possible, with every moment a teaching moment. In Nursery, babies are held, fed and comforted just as they would at home. The centre is big, beautiful, modern and extremely well-resourced; they're always making updates and improvements to keep facilities safe and kid-friendly; there are several fun activities and events throughout the month like weekly sports, cooking classes, incursions and family events. Parents get free barista-made coffee and muffins, and the rooftop parking is so easy (never any traffic, and you can nip downstairs for a spot of shopping). Read more
