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.

I have been working in the childcare industry for almost 2.5 yrs, and I have been working at the Forest Hill Green Leaves Center for months. Anjana is the best director I have ever had the pleasure of working under. She is always lending an ear to listen even when she's busy, making everybody feel included, cautiously taking care of every child and much, much more. She is genuinely a great person to be around and I wish her all the best as she certainly deserves it! Read more

My child has been under Birundha’s care for the past couple of months, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful environment she provides. Birundha is incredibly patient, kind, and attentive to every child’s needs. She consistently goes above and beyond in her role, ensuring the children feel supported and valued. My child has shown so much growth and joy during this time, and I know it’s a direct reflection of Birundha’s dedication and care. We are truly lucky to have her! Read more
Thank you for your kind review Lubna! We’re so pleased that your child is thriving in our care 🥰. It’s heart-warming to hear that our team's efforts have provided a positive experience for you and your family. Warm regards, Anjana – Green Leaves Forest Hill Centre Director

All the educators that support Nursery are very friendly and very caring, but we are particularly happy with Birundha! Our little one has been under her main care since he was 10mo and we’ve chosen to renew our lease because we didn’t want to have to move away from his daycare because of her. She’s passionate about babies growth and development while being super adaptable with their routines and parents needs. She’s very hardworking and has a lot of integrity - so we’re always informed of anything worth noting and leave happy when she says they’ve had a great day! Would 100% recommend. Love how they also didn’t need set appointment times for a tour before we had decided to join - really sets up how flexible the centre is (: Read more
