Bluebird Early Education Cobram

Transitioning through to the Toddler Studio children find that their senses become their development focus. Toddlers are always exploring and expressing curiosity with different materials and really enjoy getting their hands on new and exciting materials.

The Educators dedicate their 90 minute curriculum to creating experiences that enhance skills, finding resources that help children learn to manipulate and discover.

The Toddler Studio is a large environment that is full of different learning areas. Children explore areas for imagination, exploration, construction, literacy and numeracy, creative expression and of course somewhere to rest and recover in a nook of ambience.

The Junior Studio reflects social development. At this age, children genuinely begin to understand how important friendships are, and the behaviours upheld to build on those friendships. Junior children begin to understand fairness, respect and understanding in relation to other children and this is certainly something supported in this room.

This is done through creating collaborative environments and using curriculum time to ask open ended questions, allowing the children to reflect on their own development.

The Junior Studio environment is busy and full of resources to assist with children's individual development goals, which is the basis of the Educators planning. They create a planning cycle suited to each child so the children are being benefitted through their play.

The Pre-Kinder Studio is a much bigger and diverse space catering for children aged 3-5. In this Studio children's development is spread across many different platforms. Educators follow individual learning cycles with a focus on literacy, social behaviours, motor skill development, language skills and so much more.

The Studio is large and has an environment set up to cater for the needs and goals of every child. The doors are open all day to allow children to freely move between the indoor and outdoor program, this provides children with the autonomy to choose where they would like to learn and discover.

The outdoor environment is full of risk taking, climbing, high jumping, woodwork, and lots of loose parts to construct their own environments throughout their day.
