About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 12 months
Their passionate and experienced Educators work closely with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment. They enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, the babies enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in the garden. Under the guidance of their Educators, the babies enjoy their meals and snacks with their friends. During Nursery nap time, they are taken into the sleeping area where gentle music and a twinkling night sky encourages them to rest.
2 years - 3 years
The Educators recognise that routines for toddlers are an important opportunity for learning. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun is a chance for toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. The toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day. They take part in activities such as music, yoga, cooking, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities and the centre’s sustainability program. The toddlers also enjoy mealtimes with their friends and Educators.
4 years - 6 years
The Educators ensure the children’s environment is fun and inviting, encouraging quality play-based experiences to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children enjoy yoga, visits from special guests, and regular excursions to local parklands. Mealtimes are an opportunity for the children to enjoy social interactions with their friends and Educators, as well as learn about body awareness and nutrition. Practicing independence, the children help to set up, serve and clear away their dining area. Throughout the day, the Kinder children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, outdoor fun, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. Many of the children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible flower and vegetable gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.

Absolutely DISGUSTING experiences I’ve had there as an employee and as a visitor. The centre has got too much drama and politics and director has got no professionalism dealing with visitors. As an employee, she would do yearly rosters and I got the late shift for the whole year which meant no appointments could be made. She would always put pressure on the staff members using “under the roof” ratio leaving me with 5-6 children who were all unsettled at the time with no empathy towards what a staff member might be going through. If you brought it up, she would be adamant on her ways. Finally decided to leave as I was under appreciated for all that I’ve done . Recently visited the centre again as a family friend of one of the child there. I was ringing the doorbell to enter the centre for about 5 minutes and only entered the building through the help of another parent. Greeted her and got a dull response, no greeting back or smile whatsoever. Whilst there, I was told to sit aside and wait for the child instead of picking him right up at the door. Having been an educator there before, I’ve never seen visitors treated that way, they’ve always gone straight up to the room to pick the child up after verification. Don’t know what grudge the director has against ex employees and it’s absolutely petty how she has treated me. Read more
