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 through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory 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, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers 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 skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years
Preschool 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 has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and 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 Preschool children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Preschool 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, are supported through group learning experiences. 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. Our goal in the Preschool year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Isla 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. Isla 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
Isla has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Isla a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Isla and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Isla’s favourite book.
Morning
Arlo 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, Arlo is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Arlo identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Arlo is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Arlo is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Arlo picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Arlo and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Arlo 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, Arlo is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Arlo’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Evie is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Evie and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Evie is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Evie sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Evie takes part in the centre’s sports program. Evie loves sports. Sports helps Evie improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Evie is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Evie 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 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 across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi, I'm Sita, the Centre Manager at Casa Bambini South Plympton. My journey in early childhood education began in 2016. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of growing into leadership roles, including Lead Educator, Assistant Director and Centre Director, where I’ve gained invaluable experience in shaping nurturing, high-quality learning environments. One of the most rewarding moments in my career was opening two newly built early learning centres, each designed to support the development of over 100 children—a responsibility I cherished deeply.
My passion lies in supporting children’s development, physical health, and emotional wellbeing. My educational approach is built on empathy, collaboration, and respect, ensuring that educators, families, and children feel valued, heard, and supported. I strive to create a culture where our team feels empowered to provide the best possible care and education for every child.
I strongly believe that early childhood education plays a vital role in laying the foundation for lifelong learning. While home is a child’s first learning environment, attending a high-quality early learning centre provides structured opportunities for socialisation, independence, and cognitive growth that go beyond what is possible at home. It’s about fostering curiosity, resilience, and confidence in a way that prepares them for the world ahead.
At Casa Bambini South Plympton early learning centre, I work alongside a team of dedicated and highly educated early childhood educators and teachers who share my commitment to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and engaging learning space. Together, we are excited to build strong relationships with our families and provide a welcoming environment where every child can thrive. I look forward to working closely with our wonderful community in South Plympton and being a part of your child’s unique learning journey.

Our experience with Casa Bambini South Plympton has been really nice. Our little one started going at 8 months for 1 day a week to be introduced to the new environment and despite she was a needy kid, she was always taken care of really well. We used to send our little one for only about a hour or a couple and everytime we went in there to pick her up, the educators were always caring for her as she was exploring her new environment and made her comfortable. Since then and after about 3 years, we cannot be happier as the way our little one has grown and mature, the way she is being nurtured and groomed from the way new foods were introduced (despite a fussy eater) to the new friends she made there. Everything has turned out really well and I would say the educators and the environment Casa Bambini South Plympton provides play an important role. I will give 5 stars to Casa Bambini South Plympton. Read more
