Clever Cookies Early Learning Centre

We offer excellence in pre-school programs via teacher guided experiences, child-initiated project, play-based learning, spontaneous activities, and extra-curricular events, Excursions and incursions are also an important part of our program to extend on the children's interests.

The curriculum is planned by experienced educators in accrodance with the national Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), as well adopting elements from an Emergent curriculum and project-based curriculum. The program is carefully documented for parents to view weekly. Each child also has a developmental portfolio which demonstates the child's developmental progress throughtout the year. It is given to the parent at the end of the year as a lasting record of their early learning years.

An important part of our daily program is the promotion of pro-social skill, such as using good manners, helping each other, sharing and turn-taking. We promote respect for our peers and the world around us.

The development of positive self-esteem and confidence is encouraged as the children prepare to be active members in our communicty as they grow.

Our small classes are one of the main advantages of achieving learning outcomes, where teachers and children have the opportunity for more one-to-one interactions in their pre-school years.

Our learning environment is continuously accredited with the NCAC at high-quality levels and we continue each year to meet these high standards.

We recognise the different needs of the each child and each group. Learning groups are organized into ages 2-3 year olds, 3-4 year olds and 4-5 year old pre-schoolers, with flexibility where required.

Had the pleasure of sending my son to this beautiful centre. The educators are absolutely wonderful, helpful, supportive, caring, nurturing and like a second mum to my son. It's clean, family friendly and just fabulous. Mrs Sana the Director is beautiful and is very approachable. The educators go above and beyond for the kids and it always gave me a peace of mind when my son was there. Their sporting programs are excellent. Highly recommended.
