Infants 0-2.5 Years
Our infants room provides a familiar, safe, friendly and nurturing environment for babies and toddlers in their first stages of development of development. We value the importance of quality care and education in these early stages of life. Staff encourage social interactions, the beginnings of self-help skills and the opportunity to explore the environment using sensory and exploratory play.
Early Learners 2.5-4 years
The Early Learners age-group welcomes the next stage of life. This is a time for promoting key self-help skills such as toileting, expressing emotions and exploring individuality.
Preschool 3.5-5 years mixed age rooms
The Preschool age-group supports children’s final stages of development in the years prior to school. We value the importance of school readiness programs in preparing children for their transition. School-readiness opportunities are incorporated into the program in the children’s final year of care, focusing on social and emotional skills, early literacy and numeracy, and the development of independence, confidence, attention span, and team work. This is a vital time in every child’s life and our aim is to make it a smooth and positive transition.
Mixed-aged Environment
We value the importance of interest-based play to enhance children’s skills and learning abilities during this stage of life. Staff encourage children to participate in various learning experiences individually and with peers to support their overall development. The mixed-age environments offer an abundance of space and time, flowing between indoor and outdoor spaces, and encouraging children to explore and make choices about their own participation and learning. Daily group experiences are provided daily, including an interest-based group, alternating Aboriginal/Sustainability groups, and a cooking experience to provide afternoon tea.
