Green Leaves Early Learning Thornlie

2 years - 3 years

The Educators recognise that routines for toddlers are an important opportunity for learning. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun is a chance for toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication, and social skills and the ability to develop their self-control. The toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day. 

They take part in activities such as music, yoga, cooking, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) based activities, and the centre’s sustainability program. They also enjoy eating their meals and snacks with their friends and Educators.

4 years - 6 years

The Educators ensure the children’s environment is fun and inviting, encouraging quality play-based experiences to help them develop memory skills, language, and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children 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 Kindergarten 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.

Many of the children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible flower and vegetable gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.
