Programs Centre philosophy

Programs

Nursery

Our nurturing and engaging Nursery Classroom exudes warmth and security, assuring you that your child will thrive under our care, safe and content. There is an emphasis on the children forging trusting bonds with our Educators, while engaging in age-appropriate activities. Building trusting relationships is paramount during these early years, and our Educators actively promote this through routine, one-on-one interactions, and by demonstrating affection, empathy, and respect to each child. Routine holds a significant role in our Nursery Classroom, as adhering to a child's established routine fosters a sense of security and trust. Working in collaboration with our families, the Nursery Educators tailor their activities around each child's individual schedule, seamlessly integrating learning experiences and playtime with their rest and meal times. Throughout the day, your child will engage in activities tailored to their specific learning needs and developmental stage. These activities encompass sensory play, musical sessions, outdoor exploration, artistic endeavours, storytelling, and meaningful one-on-one interactions with our dedicated and qualified Educators.

The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) emphasises the importance of language in cognitive development. By focusing on daily, intentional, one-on-one conversations between Educators and children, our Nursery strengthens the foundation of language acquisition and literacy skills. This fuels both critical thinking ability and a strong sense of curiosity and wonder for learning.

Additionally, our Nursery children have the opportunity to participate in enriching extracurricular lessons.

Tiny Tots

In our nurturing Tiny Tots Classrooms, children establish strong, trust-based connections with our Educators as they participate in activities tailored to their age and developmental stage. This environment radiates warmth and security, providing you with the assurance that your child will be safe and will thrive under our care. Fostering trusting relationships is of utmost importance during these formative years, and our dedicated Educators actively foster these connections. They achieve this through the establishment of routines that provide structure and consistency, one-on-one interactions that cater to each child's unique needs, and by exemplifying affection, empathy, and unwavering respect towards every child in their care. Routine holds a significant role in our Tiny Tots Classroom, as adhering to a child's established routine fosters a sense of security and trust. Working in collaboration with our families, the Tiny Tots Educators tailor their activities around each child's individual schedule, seamlessly integrating learning experiences and playtime with their rest and meal times.

As we aim to provide the highest standard of early education, our Tiny Tots classroom integrates the globally recognised Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a). This approach focuses on fostering strong language and cognitive skills in children from their earliest years.

Throughout the day, your child will engage in activities tailored to their specific learning needs and developmental stage. These activities encompass sensory play, musical sessions, outdoor exploration, artistic endeavours, storytelling, and meaningful one-on-one interactions with our dedicated and qualified Educators. Additionally, our Tiny Tots children have the opportunity to participate in enriching extracurricular lessons.

Toddlers

Between the ages of two and three, children's imagination and independence blossom as they embark on a journey of exploration and understanding of their world. Our Toddlers kickstart their day with outdoor play guided by their own interests. This helps foster a connection with the natural environment and nurtures their innate sense of wonder and curiosity. As they transition indoors to our classroom setting, our young learners engage in activities designed to enhance their fine motor skills, encouraging imaginative play and "make-believe" scenarios where they emulate everyday situations and practice newfound skills. Story time is a cherished activity for our Toddlers, nurturing their emerging listening skills. Establishing independence is important in our Toddler Classrooms. Our Educators facilitate experiences that empower children to develop vital self-help skills, fostering a sense of independence and self-reliance. At this stage, our Toddler children's social skills flourish as they form their first friendships with peers. Regular group gatherings and collaborative play based on shared interests, create a sense of belonging and community among them.

Our Educators engage with each Toddler in conversational reading, learning games, language priority, and enriched caregiving. These interactions from the Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) provide abundant opportunities for children to build a strong language foundation, enhancing their cognitive, social, emotional, and linguistic development.

In addition to these enriching experiences, our Toddler children eagerly participate in weekly scheduled incursions and extracurricular activities. These adventures introduce them to new environments and experiences, fosters connections within our community and expands on their classroom learning.

Junior Kindergarten

In our older classrooms, we place a strong emphasis on providing a structured daily routine. This approach offers children the invaluable opportunity to experience consistency in their day-to-day activities, preparing them with essential skills for a seamless transition to school. These skills encompass literacy, numeracy, and fine motor abilities. Within this structured framework, we actively encourage children to express their unique individuality by embracing their natural learning styles and nurturing their interests through play. Group activities play a pivotal role in creating a sense of belonging, fostering teamwork skills, and facilitating interactions with their peers.

With the Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a), we strive to cultivate your child's cognitive, social, and emotional growth, while fostering resilience and sparking lifelong learning interests. The 3a learning games are fun yet meaningful interactions for cognitive and psychosocial development. Routine activities are viewed as learning opportunities designed to boost emotional bonding along with language and problem-solving abilities.

Our dedication to enriching the learning experience extends well beyond the confines of the classroom. We seamlessly integrate daily incursions and extracurricular activities into our curriculum, enhancing the children's educational journey. Through our weekly scheduled activities, children actively engage with the community, further elevating their learning experiences.
