About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 12 months
Our Educators partner with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The nursery children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment and enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, they enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in our light-filled learning hubs. Under the guidance of their Educators, the nursery children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals. During rest time, the nursery children have a nap under a twinkling night sky, accompanied by tranquil music which creates the perfect ambience for quality rest.
2 years - 3 years
Our toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day such as music and movement, yoga, culinary lessons, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities. As they learn about the wider world around them, the toddlers are guided by our Educators to cherish and protect the natural world through the centre’s sustainability program. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun encourages toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. During mealtimes, the toddlers enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
3 years - 4 years
Our Pre-Kinder program is designed to provide curious three-year-olds with a well-rounded play-based learning experience. Supported by qualified and experienced Educators, the children learn key skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, as well as early literacy and language skills - which lays the groundwork for success later in life. Throughout the day, the children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. During mealtimes, the children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
4 years - 6 years
Foundational life skills are pivotal in our Kinder curriculum and underpin the Positive School Transition programs we offer our children. Our Kinder learning journey celebrates the children’s individuality and encourages their love of learning through inspiring and quality play-based opportunities to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children also 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). The active Kinder children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track, building volcanoes in the sandpit or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.

Our path led us to Green Leaves ELC Waverley Gardens and it is the best decision we made. Courtney the centre's director has made the centre 'a must' for our little one and we know we've made the right decision when our little one walks through the doors 3 times a week with a smile and eagerness to embark on whatever adventure awaits ☺️ Our now 8 year old had attended Green Leaves five years ago when it wasn't at its best (quite a negative experience truth be told) and now we have the opportunity to enjoy our time again at the centre at it's best. Courtney has completely transformed the atmosphere and reputation of the centre and should be commended on how beautifully run it is. Her staff never stop smiling and nurturing our children with endless love and affection, the communication is constant between parents and educators whether its a query or an issue, the menu is nutritious and loved by the children, the rooms and room resources are well stocked and clean, rooftop location so no traffic getting in and out of the centre, the centre releases a calendar of events/activities for the month ahead, and, children are engaged and encouraged by educators which they take away with them and it's evident in their home life (ie: push your chair in, sit down to put your shoes on, wait your turn, wave goodbye.) We look forward to continuing our Green Leaves journey and recommend new families to have a tour and see for themselves how wonderful the centre is. Read more
