Curriculum
Clovel centres are unique and special places where children and their families can play and learn in warm, safe, secure and friendly surroundings.
Our highly successful early learning program is based on the emergent curriculum model incorporating each individual child's interests, what each child is good at and what each child loves to do. Our belief is that if individual children are doing something they love to do they will get better and better at it and their confidence and self esteem will soar thus encouraging them to aspire to greater heights – to fly with eagles rather than scratch with chickens – the world will be their oyster!
We begin by always remembering the incalculable value for a child to have their brain wired in the early years.
The message then is 'do not let your child miss out – begin now'.
Our early learning program is designed to ensure each child is recognised as an amazingly important individual. It is based on the principle that the whole child must be developed if they is to become a well adjusted member of our society. Thus we provide the environment and experiences which will enable your child to grow and develop physically, emotionally, intellectually, culturally and socially.
Clovel's balance of structured and non structured play, explorative learning, personal choice and group participation, encourage children to develop as whole and complete individuals.
Staff
At Clovel we believe our staff members are the backbone to the caring, nurturing, developing and educating of your child – it is they who hold your child's future in their hands - for from six weeks to six years is the period when the foundation of your child's learning is created - when your child's future is determined. Research shows that by the time your child has turned 6 the academic level achieved and the career income stream attained in later life has already been determined.
Clovel staff are individually selected for their kind, caring attitude and warm friendly personality for each position at Clovel from a range of qualified and experienced candidates to ensure the achievement of our aim – that our 'Clovel' children will experience the sense of love and security we believe is imperative to allow them to grow and learn to the best of their ability in their formative years.
All staff at Clovel are either fully qualified with either Early Childhood Degree, Diploma in Children's Services, Certificate lll or currently studying vocationally by correspondence while working in a full time capacity and being supervised by a qualified staff member.
At Clovel we pride ourselves on the length of service our staff members experience with us. Clovel success rests in part on our dedication to "growing our own staff." We have long term staff members who started with Clovel as trainees, have completed their tertiary studies and now are leaders holding Nominated Supervisors positions in charge of Clovel centres. Our longest serving staff member has been with us for over 25 years.
Government Funding for Parents and Payment Structure
At Clovel our main priority is to ensure that as many young children as possible have access to our unique high quality early learning program, Thus we always try to set our fees so that the viability of the centres are ensured while affordability for families is still achievable.
Clovel is registered for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) which is a funding scheme provided by the Australian Government for families who attend accredited childcare services. This system is administered by the centre on behalf of the Australian Government and ensures the families only need to pay a gap fee.

What the parents say
What the parents say
The team at Liverpool are simply fantastic, constantly playing with the children, talking with the families, and going above and beyond their roles to help wherever needed. It is good to see there are centres out there that are 100% for the children. In short, they are available every time whenever I need them. They are a second home to my kids, and for this I am grateful to them. My kids love going to there a lot. My older one still attends Clovel for After-care and Vacation care. He is always excited to go there. Last but not least, I love being a-part of the Clovel family and I will continue to recommend them to other families, and friends like always. Thank you so much!

Programs
The children at Clovel Childcare & Early Learning Centre Liverpool take part in a vast array of centre based programs, all included as part of the daily fee:
Performing Arts Program: the children participate in drama, music and dance, practice public speaking and perform a concert at the end of the year, all designed to encourage confidence and self-worth.
Multicultural Program: the children are introduced to other cultures through food, language, dress, games, stories and activities. The children learn songs and words in a variety of languages.
Literacy Program: starting with forming sounds and words and learning to hold a pencil correctly and moving through the stages to reading and writing. The I Love Reading phonetic program is part of the centre’s literacy program.
Numeracy Program: children are learning to count, and giving numbers a meaning with basic maths games. The children and educators discuss spatial sense, and take part in activities using measurement, estimation and pattern making.
Physical Activity Program: the team at Clovel believe that mind and body go hand-in-hand and encourage the children to participate in a daily PE program with activities such as yoga, ball skills and games, obstacle courses and many other games.
Science and Technology: this program is all about exploration and discovery, with fun experiments and activities in the daily program. Children are encouraged to think logically, participate in discussion and debate, and make connections between different concepts.
Environment and Nature Program: the educators help the children explore sustainability and look at what can be recycled and reused within the centre; the children learn about looking after their environment, with our educators involving the children in the care of their centre pets and kitchen gardens; the children also participate in a Bush Kinder program, where they are encouraged to explore and participate in activities utilising their outdoor garden spaces.
Preschool Program: this includes the early learning programs, life and social skills, and preparation for life beyond the early learning centre.
School Readiness Program: this includes the early learning program, and the educators begin to prepare the children for transition to school through practicing life and social skills such as unpacking a prepared school lunch, turn taking and speaking in front of their peers.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
A unique approach to the curriculum
The children at Clovel Childcare & Early Learning Centre Liverpool participate in a variety of early learning programs and experiences. This centre is unique in that it involves children in the preschool program as soon as they start attending the centre, rather than waiting until they turn 3 years old. This includes a brain linkage program for children from just 6 weeks of age.
Play-based learning
Rather than a generic program for all children, the Clovel program is a child-specific play-based educational program. The educators will custom fit a program for each child based on what they are good at, what they are interested in, and what they love to do at their own pace. This style of programming has proven to be best in assisting in the development of confidence, independence, resilience, social skills, emotional strength and a love of learning. This helps to ensure that those vital building blocks necessary for school life and beyond are in place by the time your child transitions into formal education.
Educational Programs
Further to this, the educators extend on each child’s interests, projects and investigations in many ways. For instance if a child is interested in space, they will be encouraged to not only ask questions about space but experiment and research to discover the answers together – they might build cardboard box ‘rockets’ and brainstorm how different items may fly, create art of what we think aliens look like, take part in experiments on gravity…the possibilities are endless.
Building Life Skills
Each child will also receive support and encouragement to develop their important social skills, to aid in their transition to primary school. Through planned activities and spontaneous moments, each child will learn valuable skills such as:
- Cooperation with others
- Problem-solving
- Sharing and turn-taking
- Conflict resolution
- Negotiation
- Self-confidence
Meet the team
Meet the team
Relationships between parents and educators is key for the team at Clovel Childcare & Early Learning Centre Liverpool. This relationship of mutual respect with the common goal to promote the child’s well-being is built on a true partnership of honest communication.
The centre’s philosophy is rooted by love. Their belief ‘if you’re getting the loving right, everything else will follow’ means that the educators strive to ensure each child feels nurtured and appreciated in a safe environment. Educators will always be responsive to each child’s feelings and needs, to stimulate their curiosity and thinking whilst providing a warm and loving atmosphere.
Kindyhub is Clovel’s app of choice for interactive communication between families and educators. The free app enables immediate and convenient access to view a child’s photos, learning and development progress.
I started with Clovel 8 ½ years ago and have now been a supervisor at Liverpool for nearly 3 years. Clovel is a second home for me and there is nothing more that fills my heart and gives me joy than watching the little ones take their first steps, say their first words, learn to write for the first time and grow into the wonderful humans they are. The love and the happiness they bring each day tells me that we are giving them their best and most vital years of growth and experience, and that’s what it’s all about.
Kaitlyn - Nominated Supervisor, Clovel Childcare & Early Learning Centre Liverpool
I love my job because I love children. I have always wanted to become an educator, teaching children and getting them ready for life, bonding and building relationships. I love their happy and joyful personalities and seeing them grow and learn. I love knowing that I had a huge part in teaching them everything that they know and everything that they will take on in the next step at school and life.
Danielle - educator
My personal experience as a mother made me realise the importance of grassroots learning in children. In my search to understand children’s developmental milestones and cues and wanting to make a positive impact on their lives, I realised that choosing a career in children’s education was my best option. My role serves as that missing link. What can be more rewarding than being the reason children excel! I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Eating habits
The educators at Clovel Childcare & Early Learning Centre Liverpool feel that they have a responsibility to promote good nutrition for children. All educators are familiar with hygiene standards, nutrition principles for children and food safety laws. They know that the food the children eat at the centre plays an important role in the child’s future growth and development, as well as having an impact on their future eating habits.
Munch and Move
Clovel is involved in the NSW Government Munch and Move Initiative that supports the healthy development of children from birth to 5 years and beyond by promoting physical activity, healthy eating and reduced small screen time. The key principles of the initiative include daily physical education lessons, rehydration programs, healthy eating and an increased knowledge of good food.
Clovel Menu
When designing the Clovel menu, the team committed to providing two-thirds of the recommended daily nutritional food intake for children less than 6 years of age. The children enjoy food such as: seasonal fruit for morning tea; 10 options for delicious sandwiches for lunch with fresh fruit for dessert; rice cakes, veggie sticks, healthy dips or fruit breads for afternoon tea. In line with their Multicultural Program and Special Days, the centre also regularly provides a hot meal for lunch, as well as sandwiches. Some of these include fried rice, Singapore noodles, spaghetti bolognese or teriyaki chicken with vegetables.
Promoting school readiness
For children in the months leading up to beginning at primary school, the educators offer a packed lunch to help them prepare for life at school. They practice sitting in a group, unwrapping sandwiches from cling wrap and opening packets. They also discuss what is in their lunch today and how it will benefit their health.

I cannot put into words how happy I am that we made the decision to enrol our son at Clovel Liverpool. My child’s development has sky rocketed since he has been attending. The staff here feel like family, I always walk away after drop off knowing my child is in good hands. Throughout the day I check their app on my phone and am thrilled to see my son engaging in a range of play based educational activities with other children. I try my best at home to incorporate similar activities, but they out do me every time! Some examples include flour play, giant building blocks, water play and animal interactions (they have a bunny). Staff are always happy to spend time with the parents providing an overview of their day upon pick up, and know my sons routine like the back of their hand. No question remains unanswered. My child always looks happy and comfortable with the staff when I do the drop offs in the morning, giving me a sense of security and makes me feel at ease. Unfortunately (for me), there are times where he doesn’t want to leave their side upon pick up, as he is so into the activities there and enjoys their presence. Thank you to all the staff at Clovel, a shout out to Kaitlyn, Leota, Sarly and Levina for all the effort and care they have for their roles. You’ve all made our first experience of childcare for our little one, the best choice we’ve ever made. Children really don’t need a ten story centre with exterior bells and whistles. They need a play based routine with love, care and support in a safe environment with dedicated staff. Clovel Liverpool truely demonstrates that it is what on the inside that counts. I cannot recommend this centre high enough! Read more

Clovel Liverpool We are really happy we found this local gem in our community. Our son has been at Clovel Liverpool for just under a year now. The location is close to our work and the team are very friendly, supportive and warm from drop off to pick up. Kaitlyn communicates everything to us very well so we are always well informed on our son’s progress and what’s happening at the centre. We find ourselves constantly checking the app daily for fresh updates and photos of our son enjoying his day there. Our photo albums are full of fun smiling photos from Clovel Liverpool The staff are very engaging and always thinking of creative ways to entertain and educate the children especially Leata. Our son also enjoys playing with the animals there like Ziggy the rabbit. We notice a big difference in our son’s development from socialising with other children to showing us his latest dance moves which he has learnt from the daycare dance parties. Our family would highly recommend Cloval Liverpool. Thanks for your efforts in supporting our family. We give your service a 10 out of 10! Read more

Both of my 2 kids have been in Clovel Liverpool for 3-4 years, the staff are very nice and helpful. Kids learn a lot for preparing for Kindy, as I can see the improvement of my kids. Even my oldest one has graduated, he still keeps touch with one of his favorite teachers. It’s also convenient for us living nearby. Read more
