Woodlands Warragul Long Daycare and Kindergarten 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.

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.

As both a parent and an educator at the Woodlands warragul campus, I am incredibly impressed with the care and attention my daughter has received at the childcare centre. This is my daughter's first experience in daycare, and it's been going wonderfully. Jess, as the director, manages both sides exceptionally well, ensuring a smooth and nurturing environment. The new room leader in the babies' room has also been fantastic, showing exceptional skill and compassion in caring for the little ones. As an educator, I love the working environment, as Jess is genuinely caring about everyone's well-being. I highly recommend Jess and the team for their dedication and excellence in childcare and also for building a friendly environment. Read more
