Our centre proudly offers the QLD Government-approved Kindergarten program as part of our enhanced learning program. Our Kindergarten program supports your child's learning, development and well-being, to help ensure a successful transition to school.  
Our evidence-based Rhythm and Resilience Program (RAMSR), developed by Queensland University of Technology has been designed to help develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory and concentration.

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 through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory 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, role playing and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddlers 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 skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten 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 has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning and 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 Kindergarten children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.

Throughout the Kindergarten 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, are supported through group learning experiences. 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. Our goal in the Kindergarten year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.

Meet the team

Hi my name is Natalie, and I am the Centre Manager here at Creative Garden Banyo. I started working in Early Education in 2003 and joined Creative Garden Banyo in 2021 as an assistant manager before becoming centre manager in 2023.

The biggest inspiration for my career path is the development of children’s learning. Seeing a child attending our centre from nursery through to school is so rewarding. As an Early years Educator, witnessing the growth of these children, is incredibly rewarding. The impact you make on young lives is both powerful and meaningful. I believe that every child is a unique story waiting to be written, and I consider it a privilege to help them discover their own narrative.

Children learn best when they believe that they can achieve. Our teachers and educators focus on supporting children to explore the curriculum confidently and make daily choices throughout the day. Early childhood education and care can help children make friends, develop good habits, build on their literacy and numeracy skills, and become emotionally resilient. Children also develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our Early Learning centre operates with the following core values; dedication, innovation, compassion, integrity and passion. This helps us guide children every day to be active happy learners. Reflecting and implementing these in our work, helps us navigate our journey at Creative Garden Banyo.

Some of our team at Creative Garden Banyo have been providing quality education and care in a safe and engaging environment for many years. We continually invite skilled diverse educators to join our team. We strive to excel and invite the best ideas from everyone. Majority of our educators live locally bringing a strong, positive and inclusive culture that promotes teamwork and respect for diversity. This has been our foundation in creating a family-like environment.

After completing a tour at our centre, I send a thank you email to the family who attended, from there I have a clear step by step process on how they would like to enrol their child. I also have an open-door policy if families have any questions they may need answered or even if they need help with enrolment forms, Child Care Subsidy, government caps, centre schedule and more. I look forward to welcoming you to our home.
