About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years
Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.
Throughout the Kindergarten year,children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.
Morning
Bianca is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Bianca is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Bianca has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Bianca a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Bianca and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Bianca’s favourite book.
Morning
Hunter is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Hunter is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Hunter identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Hunter is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Hunter is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Hunter picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Hunter and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Hunter enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Hunter is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Hunter’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Gina is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Gina and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Gina is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Gina sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Gina takes part in the centre’s sports program. Gina loves sports. Sports helps Gina improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Gina is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Gina and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Health and Nutrition
Health and Nutrition
Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

To support children in becoming competent and confident learners, I believe in creating an interactive, supportive, and nurturing environment.
I began working in early learning in March 2016 and joined Burwood East in May 2023. I have been a qualified Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) since March 2016 and have been serving as a centre manager since May 2018.
My passion lies in establishing a culture where children are highly valued. As an early childhood educator, my role is to empower children’s learning by creating an environment that contributes to valued learning outcomes for all children. Seeing children grow and reach different milestones is one of the most exciting aspects of early childhood education. I am proud to be in a position where I can advocate for quality education and care practices that support young children’s learning during these formative years. To support children in becoming competent and confident learners, I believe in creating an interactive, supportive, and nurturing environment. As qualified and experienced educators, we have the opportunity to shape the future of young learners by providing engaging and creative learning experiences that support their holistic development.
Our team at Burwood East has extensive experience in supporting children’s learning and development. Most of our team members hold diplomas, and we have two Bachelor-qualified ECTs running the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten rooms. We foster a nurturing team culture where we respect everyone’s cultural identity and work together to promote positive learning outcomes for all children. Many of our team members are multilingual, offering additional support to children and families by speaking their home languages.
We show support to our families by spending quality time with them during orientations and sharing feedback about their children’s day during pick-up and drop-off times. We enjoy celebrating various occasions with our families, including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas parties, children’s birthdays, kindergarten info nights, transition-to-school evenings, and NDIS informative sessions. We also invite families to participate in supporting children’s learning by reading books in their child’s room, sharing professional knowledge during special mat times, and providing feedback through surveys and questionnaires to help design learning experiences for their children.
I look forward to welcoming your family to Greenwood Burwood East early learning centre.

Centre Reviews
The childcare center is poorly managed, with substandard food and overall inadequate care. It’s best to avoid it to prevent future regret. The childcare center is poorly managed, with substandard food and overall inadequate care. It’s best to avoid it to prevent future regret.

Review from a family attending from last 1year - Our child goes to 3yr Kindi - The Kinder teachers are BEST in the TOWN... Review from a family attending from last 1year - Our child goes to 3yr Kindi - The Kinder teachers are BEST in the TOWN - So passionately they teach a child what to do and not - Best Foundation possible for the little ones...... Big Thank You to Vidhi and Hazel.... We Really Appreciate Your Teaching Skill and Pattern. Other educators like Sonia B , Jenny , Vajira , Dinushi , Nadika and Rohini - All of them are so wonderful , just like " Mums Outside Home". Our child loves each of them individually because of their care and love. Chef Hue - your lovely and yummy ( at least from smell :) ) cooking deserves wholehearted kudos....... Your smiling face makes kids and their parents very happy. The area where this center needs some attention is - centre management . The center is 'blessed to have ' so many wonderful staffs but management is not as professional as it should be. Center Manager is most of the time 'away from desk ' , even if phone calls are 'not answered '. The center is in such a 'prime location' but always attendance is below avg. - Centre manager has no 'strategy' to bring more kids or to keep existing kids happy. Center Manager is not worried / concerned for kid's comfort , staff availability and making the center more welcoming for kids. Center Manager 'wants to save electricity bills' so keeps rooms dark which makes kids 'uncomfortable' and 'scared'. I wish , Center Manager will receive some good OH&S , Kids-safety and child-psychology related training in future to make this center as a one of the BEST in this locality. Last but not the least , Big Thanks to G8 group for listening to all concerns and trying to coach staffs to get it done. Read more
