Woodlands Sunbury Centre overview
Be part of the future of education.
We are profoundly passionate about children and their education. It's a force that's driven and inspired us from day one. So we've set out to make it better. To bring you more educational services than ever. To give you personal recommendations from people who know and love children's education. To deepen the connection between families and educators. To re-imagine learning. This is Woodlands. And it's just the beginning.
At Woodlands, our goal is to provide a seamless and positive enrolment experience for prospective families looking to join our Woodlands Community.
LOVE
Woodlands is a partnership between educators, children, and parents who are driven to deliver whole-child, personalized learning so that every child can reach their potential.
EDUCATION
We encourage the growth of independence and social awareness, sensory exploration, the development of physical skills and language development. Children play in a planned indoor and outdoor environment designed to provide a variety of materials to explore.
FUN
Our goal is to encourage each child’s natural curiosity and interest in learning. We feel it is important for children to actively participate in the learning process, and therefore provide many opportunities for learning by doing, for both indirect and direct acquisition of new knowledge and skills.

Programs
Programs
The centre focuses on holistic development and school readiness with exciting programs including literacy, numeracy, language classes, sustainability education, identity, physical development and camaraderie.

- Music & movement: Music-time is a fun favourite, where children dance and play their own instruments, while building confidence, and learning social skills and coordination.
- Cooking program: This program is a time children enjoy making their own food, while learning more about new types of food, healthy eating, and taking responsibility.
- Sustainability and bush kinder: The outdoor natural area inspires learning about Australian native plants and gardening.
- French language program: The benefits of learning an additional language at a young age include enhanced reading and writing skills, cognitive development and problem-solving skills. Children learn through play, art and craft, music, songs and stories.
- Lunch box program: For children transitioning to primary school, this program allows them to practise a lunch routine similar to a primary school setting, with the support and encouragement of teachers and educators.

These meetings provide an open forum to discuss education-related topics in an environment where opinions are respected and valued. The outcomes of these meetings also help to inform the program.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
Woodlands provides a learning environment that supports children to thrive as they build a sense of being and becoming. Educators understand the importance of the development, and celebration of individual personalities to help create a sense of belonging where children have the confidence and resilience to play, learn and explore.
Nursery
6 weeks - 12 months
The Nursery classrooms are beautifully designed, safe, and inviting places where infants can thrive while being supported by experienced educators to reach developmental milestones, learn about their world and develop a sense of belonging.
From exploring different textures and sensory activities, to making music and singing, enjoying physical development through tummy time, to exploring the world of food and the outdoors, children are given every opportunity to thrive and enjoy their days.
1 year - 2 years
Woodlands 1 to 2-Year-Old Classrooms are thoughtfully designed spaces that motivate toddlers as they take on new challenges and develop their self-awareness, social skills, and communication. The classrooms provide opportunities for toddlers to use new skills and be active in safe surroundings.
Toddlers at this age have access to open ended resources to satisfy their growing curiosity. Fun activities including music and movement, early literacy and numeracy, crafts and gardening, and children have the explore and discover.
2 years - 3 years
Toddler classrooms are designed to foster a toddler’s natural desire to do things for themself, to explore, be active, imagine and create. The curriculum develops their self-awareness, self-regulation, communication, social skills and helps them make sense of the world around them.
Each day includes adventure. A day may involve playing instruments with ‘everyday’ tools, learning independence through making their own bed or cleaning up after themselves, to practising mud-cooking with their friends in the sandpit.
3 years - 5 years
Kindergarten classrooms are thoughtfully designed to be stimulating and challenging for children as they prepare for primary school. The experienced educators design and implement engaging, child-centred environments and experiences that embrace the individuality of each child by extending skills without limits.
The Kindergarten Program helps children transition to school with support for learning language and numeracy, crafts and painting, practical self-sufficiency and social skills.

Both my children have recently had new lead educators joining. We had clear communication about who they were and when they were starting. I have been very happy with both Sukhdeep and Chantel. Myah is learning so much and has even started walking. Kaiden has been speaking so much more and I feel he is becoming more confident since Sukhdeep has started, this brings a lot of comfort to my wife and I as Kaiden has additional needs, so to see the relationship already forming after a week speaks highly. Thank you Woodlands for loving our babies. Read more
