Centre philosophy

For the under 3’s

ToBeMe cares for the babies and toddlers in open-plan classrooms that encourage play and discovery. They have their own curriculum, which encourages children to become curious about the world through connections-based learning.

 

Within each of the rooms, you will find a stage and dress-up clothes for performances, blocks and games, a home corner with play kitchen, and many ways for the children to keep active. ToBeMe is the only NSW centre that offers a reading, writing and spelling program (THRASS) to children aged from just 6 months. 

 

Each of the early years rooms opens up to an outdoor play space with real vegetation, grass, vegetable gardens and play area. Children take part in excursions to the post office, local parks and museums to extend their learning. 

 

This modern design allows the children to move to various projects in different rooms through the day. They can leave their work project in place and come back to it later or another day. This teaches them that their work is valuable and not limited to a specific time frame set by the educators. 

 

For the over 3’s

At ToBeMe, the Prep School program builds the confidence of the children as they prepare to begin life at school. The program is set up like a school day, and includes various subjects like maths, literacy and even robotics.

 

Running through the prep school curriculum is a focus on developing a passion for learning, as well as a connection to themselves and the world.

 

The goal is still to learn through play, and the architecturally-designed learning spaces give children every chance to find their own areas of interest. 

 

For parents, the centre offers the convenience of on-site speech therapy and OT support as needed. This supports families as they don’t need to take time off work to take children to appointments. Children can even book in for a haircut or private music lesson at the centre during child care hours.

Hi Marta! We're so happy to hear that Miroslav is having a fantastic time at our centre. Our educators recognise that all the little ones in our care are unique individuals, and our aim is to ensure that they feel a sense of warmth and belonging while under our care. We value the connections that are built with families and strong communication is a key aspect of ensuring that everyone is involved in the learning process for their little ones, so that they are thriving in our care. We love providing rich, engaging learning experiences, to support the children’s creativity, independence and confidence building. Thank you for your amazing feedback and review, we really appreciate the time you have taken to tell us about your experience, and we look forward to creating many more wonderful learning opportunities for Miroslav in the future!
