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.
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 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 Kindergarten 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 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, 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
Anita 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. Anita 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
Anita has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Anita a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Anita and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Anita’s favourite book.
Morning
Luca 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, Luca is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Luca identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Luca is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Luca is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Luca picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Luca and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Luca 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, Luca is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Luca’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Ava is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Ava and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Ava is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Ava sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Ava takes part in the centre’s sports program. Ava loves sports. Sports helps Ava improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Ava is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Ava 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 Tori, and I am the Centre Manager here at Chancellor Park World of Learning. I began my career in early childhood education and care in 1990 and started working at World of Learning Chancellor Park in 2014. I hold a Bachelor of teaching and a Bachelor of education in early childhood. I am registered with the Queensland Teachers Collage.
I began my career as an assistant supporting an OOSH service. Completing my Diploma, I stepped up to room leader in a long day care setting, where I took on my first position as centre manager for a period of 5 years, as well as studying at university for 3 years. I have travelled with my husband’s work and went back into the position of lead educator. Moving to Townsville 8 years ago, I completed my fourth year at University, whilst being employed as a ECT. Moving to the Sunshine Coast, I took up a contract with the QLD Education Department as a teacher for a short time. Concreting my passion for the early childhood sector, I transitioned back into an ECT role at Chancellor Park World of Learning for the last 6 years. I recently stepped up to the Centre manager role.
My philosophy on teaching in the early childhood sector has evolved over the 30 years in the industry. I believe play needs to be preserved and that children need to be empowered and seen as capable, confident learners within an environment that allows for discovery, inquiry and investigation. I’m excited and passionate about being able to be apart of the children’s learning journey. Valuing their uniqueness in their growth, learning and development. It is a privilege to be apart of and building relationships with the families.
I value and respect all children. I mentor and support learning in a fun, play based learning environment that fosters uniqueness and inquiry-based approach.
The learning environment fosters wellbeing and allows children to build up social / emotional skills and build on their resilience in social situations. It fosters friendships and partnerships.
Our amazing team is diverse with knowledge, skills and backgrounds, who work collaboratively, with passion for and with children and the families for best possible outcomes. They are dedicated and highly motivated in working together to provide high quality programs for children.
Our team understands just how important your children are to you and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. World of Learning Early Education Centres has extensive policy and procedures in place to assist our team in protecting children in our care.
Meet and greet times are valuable ways to connect with families. We stay connected with families through our Xplor online platform where we communicate to families about their child’s day. Especially valuable for our families who parents work away form home. It keeps them involved in their child’s learning and day.
We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions one by one. We walk families through all the forms and administration that need to be done, this includes enrolment forms, Child Care Subsidy (CCS), explaining subsidies, government caps, centre schedules, our centre menu and more.

Centre Reviews

The app is used to mislead parents lodging false content which was found out when collection of my son was a few hours earlier then normal. Was asleep inside alone all children and educators were outside. He had been asleep 2.5hours at this point. When the app said he’d been awake since 1pm (collected at 2:12pm) at 2:08 they lodged they had just put sunscreen on him outside ready for play. We had discussed back in June if we could please stop having him have 3 hours sleep a day there as him waking in the afternoon he would not sleep of a night. They said no naps wouldn’t be suitable for him so we agreed to one hour. They used the app to pretend they were respecting our wishes by lodging false content through his day. They have sent him home “sick” at times every single week over months, then refuse children to return next day if they send them home the day prior. Some reasons being of genuine illness he seemed to catch every illness there noticed other child’s dummies in his mouth all the time. but also for dribble rash, “not acting himself” or runny poo or weird colour poo, to name a few causing employment insecurity with the amount of days I’ve had to be off alone. Sarah counted over 70 days in the last year. Since making aware to the manager of the daycare on the educators misusing the app, the educators have since gone out there way to complain about my son saying his a disruption to other children making well aware he is a inconvenience if his not asleep. Calling the very next day after uncomfortable confrontation regarding it asking if he can have extra half an hour, can you believe? We couldn’t be more clear on the matter and after 6 months of deceiving us on his sleep habits. it falls on deaf ears. They then made a public post directed at us regarding our sons sleep inconveniences for all parents on the app to see, no business to the other parents no privacy is respected. Who would have thought asking for less then 3 hours sleep a day would come with such stress and retaliation. They told us he was impossible to keep awake even after sleeping they said he wants to sleep more, what nonsense. Do they forget we are his parents and know his full of beans a healthy young man. Trying to justify their deceiving behaviour by blaming the children. Not to mention his sick days being advertised on a few occasions on the app for other parents for casual bookings. whilst still being charged for those sick days benefiting financially from him being sick. This morning his end of enrolment notice was provided and acknowledge by the centre by email. Coincidentally he was collected this afternoon with a black eye. I was told he fell over outside. No incident report was provided just had me sign a iPad screen with only a signature viewable. no report is on his file for me to access. We started our daughter here over 3 years ago and was fantastic then but overtime the centre had got worse, less staff, no longer a chef just teachers preparing food, The educators remaining always appeared unhappy like they didn’t want to be there. No longer as approachable. My review is based on the past year that’s had a negative impact on most importantly my child’s health and wellbeing, employment and personal relations. Would not recommend. we have pulled him out of the centre immediately Read more
