About the curriculum
About the curriculum

Up to 12 children are cared for in the nursery by 3 main educators. The indoor learning environment for this age group is a stimulating environment with room for children to explore at their own pace. Educators offer flexible routines that allow for consistency with family routines, large blocks of time for play and learning, and children’s choice and direction on experiences throughout the day.
2 years - 3 years
Up to 15 toddlers are cared for in this room by 3 main educators. Spaces within the room reflect children’s interests and are responsive to their abilities, catering for different learning capacities. Children’s developing social needs are supported through music and movement experiences. Children learn the skills needed to care, share, collaborate and use their emotions in a positive way.
3 years - 5 years
This classroom caters for up to 20 children with 2 main educators. The learning environment is bright and welcoming, arranged to invite and encourage varied forms of play and learning throughout the day. Educators encourage learning through immersion with innovative and interesting forms of literacy and numeracy experiences embedded within the curriculum to develop the children’s skills at a level that is developmentally appropriate for them. The program is designed to ensure that children are interested in learning by planning learning around their interests so they are engaged to explore, investigate and learn. These experiences give ownership to children and encourage their problem solving and decision-making skills.

Normanhurst Child Care Centre is a wonderful centre with compassionate and dedicated educators. Both my children attend this service and are both well loved and supported on their early learning journey. My children are valued members of the Normanhurst community and educators are approachable and always happy to help both parents and children. The facilities are great and my little boy loves running around the yard playing soccer with his friends. The babies room has been wonderful for my daughter and the space provided is wonderful for her developing needs. Thank you Normanhurst educators for the wonderful job you do with my children 😊 Read more
