Programs

Programs
To create a sense of familiarity and security for the children, the educators follow a predictable daily routine across the centre. This then allows the children to explore and enjoy their day while feeling safe in their surroundings.
The educators make the most of the facilities to include a mix of both indoor and outdoor learning activities. They consider each child’s individual learning styles and needs to ensure that every child has the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
The children can participate in swimming lessons and cooking activities. They can also attend excursions and often welcome community visitors into the centre for incursions. Nature play is encouraged to teach the children about sustainability and caring for the environment.
The school readiness program supports the transition to big school, helping to prepare these children for life beyond Story House Early Learning.

The educators at Story House Early Learning use the StoryPark platform to communicate with parents. They share photos and stories on this secure platform to ensure parents can feel part of their child’s day.
The programs and curriculum at the centre are also tailored to the community and culture. The educators are respectful of your family, your culture and your story.
About the curriculum

About the curriculum
The educators work closely with families to provide a safe, quality, family-centred learning environment where every child is respected and nurtured. The team continually develops their skills and explores new ways to enrich each child’s early learning experience.
Indoor and outdoor play-based experiences are an integral part of the program. Educators plan a diverse range of experiences to create opportunities for each child in both structured and spontaneous play.
The centre’s programs are inspired by the wisdom and teachings of early childhood theorists and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and aim to develop children’s emotional, social, and cognitive intelligence.
The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasise play based learning, however offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialisation, self-regulation and independence.

Shez, Ruth & Monica who work in the babies room are amazing educators. They have cared for my son for the last 8 months, we unfortunately have to move him day cares due to our living situation - we are extremely sad about having to move him, he adores these three wonderful ladies. The care, compassion, friendship and love they have offered my son and myself and my partner have been amazing. We are truly thankful for them taking care of our boy. Leaving him in their care we knew 100% he would be looked after. They’ve become like our extended family, our son adores them and loves going to daycare. Pam the manager is warm and welcoming, nothing is too much for her. We are truly grateful to SH forest hill. Our sons education life has gotten of to the best start thanks to these wonderful people. 11/10 care, thank you guys 😇 Read more
