Story House Early Learning Black Rock Centre overview
Welcome to Story House Early Learning Black Rock
At Story House Black Rock, we encourage and strive to build partnerships with families in a caring, creative, holistic, and progressive environment that acknowledges the uniqueness and right to learn, of every child. We care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years in a nuturing and inclusive environment. Through the principles, practices and outcomes of early years learning Framework, we acknowledge and endorse the family, community and each other as valuable sources of knowledge, as we extend on each child's learning and development.
We believe that the value of play is of utmost importance to children as it is their way of learning about their world. While children play, they are able to experiment with new ideas, test theories and their understanding of concepts, express their creative ability, release their emotions and share their feelings. Open communications and building on supportive and trusting relationships with families aids in holistic learning for our children.
We have strong connections with the local community and schools through excursions and incursions. We offer engaging learning programs, government funded Kinder program, Bush Kinder, unique learning environments, nutritious meals prepared on site by our chef and extra curricular activities. Nothing matters more to us than the education, health and well-being of every child who enters our service.
So, from our family to yours, we welcome you to Story House Black Rock.

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 centre takes a thoughtful approach to finding and hiring the right educators. They look for educators who are qualified, experienced and familiar with using evidence-based practices to create engaging learning activities.
Story House Early Learning has a high employee retention rate thanks to the positive working environment. This also provides the children with a stronger sense of familiarity and security as they get to know the people caring for them each day.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement
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.

I started working as a casual staff member at BlackRock last month, and I can honestly say I’m really enjoying my time here. The work environment is fantastic, and I’ve felt welcomed from day one. The Service manager, Kanchan, is such a kind and approachable person she creates a supportive atmosphere where all staff members feel comfortable talking to her about anything. The other team members are equally wonderful, always friendly and willing to help whenever needed. The children are the heart of this place, and it’s been so rewarding to watch them learn and grow each day. I’ve been able to build strong, meaningful connections with them already. It’s clear that the staff here genuinely care about the children’s well-being and development as well. I’ve learned so much in this short time, and I truly appreciate the teamwork and positive culture here. If the opportunity arises, I would love to work as a permanent staff member, as I can see myself continuing to grow and contribute in this great environment. Highly recommend here to anyone considering a childcare for their child. Read more
