About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years
Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Preschool children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.
Throughout the Preschool year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.
Morning
Cassidy is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Cassidy is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Cassidy has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Cassidy a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Cassidy and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Cassidy’s favourite book.
Morning
Blake is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Blake is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Blake identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Blake is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Blake is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Blake picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Blake and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Blake enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Blake is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Blake’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Georgia is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Georgia and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Georgia is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Georgia sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Georgia takes part in the centre’s sports program. Georgia loves sports. Sports helps Georgia improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Georgia is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Georgia and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Health and Nutrition
Health and Nutrition
Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi, my name is Davinder, and I am the Centre Manager here at Kindy Patch Mordialloc. I began my career in early learning in 2012 and joined Kindy Patch Mordialloc in 2013. I have always loved being part of a family’s early learning journey and making a difference in children’s lives. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to play, learn, and thrive holistically, believing that learning through play is essential for their development.
Throughout my career, I’ve developed skills in curriculum planning, teaching health and safety habits, and supporting language development, all guided by principles of child psychology and human development. At our centre, we offer children a range of experiences with their peers, fostering important early interactions and friendships. I believe that these experiences, combined with play and guided learning, are crucial for their growth.
On a centre tour, I often explain to families that attending an early childhood education centre provides children with a structured program that supports their development and prepares them for a successful transition to school. At Kindy Patch Mordialloc, we have a long-standing, passionate team committed to providing quality care and supporting our families, with no team turnover in the past 7 years. We maintain an open-door policy, value feedback, and are always available to assist families in any way we can, ensuring we build strong, respectful relationships that enhance children’s early education journey.
I look forward to welcoming you to Kindy Patch Mordialloc early education centre.

Having our girl at Kindy Patch Mordialloc has been the best decision we could have made for her. Every morning you really are taking your little one to visit family. The wonderful educators show such genuine care for them and their learning and it really shows with new skills being brought back home daily. The staff are so fantastic at identifying and working with the different needs of every baby, toddler and child and there are only ever smiling faces everywhere, no matter what time of the day. Our little one has thrived all around with her social skills, talking, eating, self expressing and most importantly just being the happiest girl that she can be, which is a testament to the quality of people she is surrounded by daily. We cannot thank all of the amazing management and staff enough for the hard work everyone puts in and the positive influence you have had in our girl's life. Not to mention the administration side is also faultless, with perfect communication surrounding all aspects of enrolment, CCS and casual bookings. There is also an abundance of photos and updates throughout the day as to how the little ones are going, even including personalised progress reports on certain activities, which is a very nice touch.
