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
Isla 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. Isla 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
Isla has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Isla a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Isla and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Isla’s favourite book.
Morning
Arlo 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, Arlo is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Arlo identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Arlo is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Arlo is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Arlo picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Arlo and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Arlo 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, Arlo is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Arlo’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Evie is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Evie and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Evie is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Evie sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Evie takes part in the centre’s sports program. Evie loves sports. Sports helps Evie improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Evie is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Evie 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 Joanne, and I am the Centre Manager of Casa Bambini Seacliff. I hold an Advanced Diploma of Children’s Services and a Diploma of Children’s Services – Montessori Assistant.
I feel very privileged to be part of many families lives, I started my early learning journey running a crèche before moving into school support a local Montessori primary school. While there I realised my passion was within the early year’s sector. In 2008 I started my journey with early learning and have grown as a person and as an educator. Over the past 13 years, I have been an Assistant Educator, Team Leader and Assistant Centre Manager. I have worked with all age groups but predominately 3 – 5 yr olds. I love providing a safe, happy environment for children to grow, learn and share their joy with the world around them.
I place high importance on getting to know each child and their family. To share their joy and wonder by providing experiences based on their interests. Children are inquisitive and have love of learning and we are very lucky to guide them on this journey.
My passion is sharing the joy and wonder of learning about their world. Providing them with resources and the environment for them to achieve their goals. When you see their faces light up with a smile when they discover something new or achieve something they have strived for. I work with families to explain the many aspects of learning and how we will support them on this exciting journey. The benefit of social skills and building connections with others. We are not only here for the children but to support families and educators as well.
Our team at Casa Bambini Seacliff are dedicated and passionate about early learning. We build strong connections with the children and their families and provide a safe inviting environment to share their learning journey.
We always welcome families with a smile and take time to share information with them. Our educators use Xplor to send photos and keep them up to date with their child’s day. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our centre.
