Beach Kids Early Learning & Preschool Chinderah - Newly Opened! Centre overview
Welcome to Beach Kids Early Childhood Centre Chinderah!
At Beach Kids Early Childhood Centre, our philosophy is founded on the knowledge that successful early childhood development comes from engagement in social, emotional, cognitive, physical and aesthetic experiences. It is this holistic approach that allows children to develop to their full potential.
Our amazing group of early childhood educators/teachers are the key to our success. They are valued, respected and empowered, allowing them to treat each child individually, and giving them the freedom to express, explore and discover. We cater to the specific needs of every child entrusted to our education and care (every child is special!). Above all, we give every child the space and atmosphere to be unique and flourish.
We are family owned, providing high quality early childhood learning and care programs in a loving and innovative environment. Our Early Childcare Centre offers care and education for children from 6 weeks through to formal schooling with an integrated New South Wales Government approved Preschool.
At Beach Kids, our philosophy is to raise the standard of what parents, early childhood educators/teachers and children expect from an early childhood learning (childcare) service.
Beach Kids’ extracurricular activities allow each child to experience a world of creative engagement through movement, play and physical activities.
Our programs are a crucial focus at Beach Kids and activities are conducted by specialist teachers and professionals.
The extracurricular activities that we offer at Beach Kids Early Learning & Preschool are carefully chosen to add value to our learners’ life skills and overall wellbeing. Our extracurricular activities include Bush and Beach Kinder, Yoga, Sports, Dance, and Music.

The Beach Kids menus are developed by a qualified child nutritionist, and the menus are displayed for the parents to read each week. There are many hands-on food activities, plenty of culturally appropriate and diverse foods, the option for children to serve themselves to help them learn about making good choices, seeing food as a positive, enjoyable part of life, and ensuring that children can be independent by offering child-sized equipment for them to use.
Children may be receiving the majority of their daily food intake while at Beach Kids, so the centre sees it as essential that they provide high quality and nutritious meals. All allergies, medical conditions, religious beliefs, special diets, and cultural requirements are observed.
Some of the children’s favourite meals include spaghetti bolognese and sandwiches filled with fresh chicken, cheese and salad.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
Educators provide age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity and use of the five senses. There are physical activities that support large and small muscle development. The centre seeks to develop caring and sharing partnerships with all parents.
Communication is provided through newsletters, daily report forms, daily conversations, and parent-teacher conferences. Children take part in activities such as conversational reading, learning games and singing.
The active children in this room are busy using all of their senses to discover the world. Children enjoy a wide variety of activities within an outline where cooperative play is encouraged.
Curriculum areas of art, math, science, cooking, music and movement, large muscle, practical life, dramatic play, language, arts and fine motor activities are provided. Through these activities, children are learning to be able to trust their own desires and choices about what they learn, hear, see and do. They also begin to share these experiences with others.
This environment is designed to meet the overall needs of preschoolers and to facilitate their development through age-appropriate experiences. The Preschool room focuses on preparing children for school and coordinating goals with age-appropriate content, to ensure that preschool children will have the best opportunity for success.
