Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
Young children have lively minds from the start. We strive to make the most of this natural quality by enabling them to experience, investigate, care about others, interact, develop and create. We strive to deepen and strengthen children’s natural abilities by providing them with the healthiest environment possible.
About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
Language Development
Our babies engage in enjoyable interactions as they make and play with sounds. Our educators are attuned to respond sensitively and encouragingly as our youngest children begin to communicate. We value the linguistic heritage of the children in our care and work with families to build upon a child’s language at home.
Physical Development
The first few years of a child’s life are a time of rapid growth and our specially appointed nursery rooms are filled with baby gym equipment that encourages exploration and gross motor skill development.
Social Development
Babies are born social creatures, connecting with their caregivers through social smiles and nurturing interactions. Our youngest children enjoy the company of other babies as they learn to navigate new environments. Our babies participate in parallel play, an important first step in learning how to play with others.
Independence
At this age our children naturally want to take agency over their lives. We foster this development by providing children with ample opportunities to make self-directed choices throughout the day.
Language Development
Our language development continues to be fostered through a rich learning environment of story time and songs. Children begin to communicate with one and other, supported by our Educators.
Physical Development
Our children take part in our Extra Curricular programs of Yoga, sports, dance and cooking which foster the development of gross and fine motor skills.
Social Development
Children naturally push boundaries at the age of 2 and 3. Our Educators understand this important part of self-discovery and encourage collaboration and empathy as our children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Literacy & Numeracy
Literacy and numeracy learning experiences are integrated into daily interactions as our Educators provide the tools and skill development to cultivate a love of learning.
Technology
Technology is introduced as a valuable learning and research tool, through the use of I-pads and interactive smart boards our children understand the importance of digital literacy skills.
Self-Motivated Learning
Our children continue to develop their confidence and inspired by their Educators explore their passions and interests.
School Readiness
Our holistic School Readiness program develops confident, happy, and curious little people who are well rounded in a wide range of preparatory skills including academic, social, emotional, and physical skills.
Sustainability
Practicing sustainability through our hands on Garden to Plate program, our Bee’s appreciate the interdependence between plants, people, animals and the land. Understanding the connection between their actions and the environment.
Service and Empathy
Our children meaningfully contribute to our local communities. Through thoughtful card creation and the donation of clothing and goods to families in need.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Parental involvement is a huge factor in your child’s development and success. We encourage your involvement by hosting workshops and seminars with diverse experts in the field. We also keep you up-to-date regularly with emails, messages, and videos, and invite you to give regular feedback!

I cannot express how happy and appreciative I am of the wonderful staff at Willowbee. From the moment we first walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and assured that my child would be cared for in a loving and nurturing environment. The staff are incredibly dedicated, always going above and beyond in their efforts to engage and support the children. It's clear that they put their hearts into their work, and it shows in the joyful and vibrant atmosphere. Every day, my child comes home excited and eager to share what he learned and experienced. I feel completely comfortable leaving my child in their care. The communication from the staff is excellent, keeping me informed and involved in my child’s progress and activities. It’s such a relief to know that my little one is in such capable and loving hands. Thank you, Willowbee, for all your hard work and for providing such a safe and enriching environment for my son. I highly recommend this amazing centre ! Read more
