Red Robin Kindergarten

The centre believes its team of passionate, diverse and qualified educators are its most precious resource. Each team member brings fundamental qualities and skills to the service and is genuinely caring and committed to providing the best for every child.

The dedicated team work together to support and encourage one another in providing and optimising learning opportunities for children. Educators also take part in regular professional development to expand their knowledge and skills in the early childhood sector. 

The centre acknowledges that valuing and acknowledging the important role of educators is at the heart of high quality education and care.

The centre recognises, values and supports families in the important role they have in their children’s lives. It actively works to establish strong partnerships based on mutual trust, where educators and families can work together to help children receive the very best care, and thrive. 

Families are encouraged to speak with educators on a regular basis to give feedback on the current program, share any ideas and communicate the child’s current interests and needs. 

Parents and carers also receive an email each Monday morning encouraging them to share what they have done over the weekend so that educators can incorporate aspects of this into activities.

To further streamline communication, the centre invites all parents to use the Kindyhub SmartPhone app, which features regular activity updates, centre news, and photos. Families can communicate directly with educators on the app, and also share photos and videos directly from phones.

The centre provides the highest standards of care and education, with a play based curriculum guided by the Early Year Learning Framework. The team values the uniqueness of each child and family and ensures that individual needs are met. With a child centered approach and a strong emphasis on play, the centre aims to help children develop their independence, resilience and sense of agency, with a focus on social and emotional development.

Individual Learning 

Within the first 6 weeks of starting at the centre, every child is given an individualised learning goal. Educators then plan experiences (available to view on the program) and document children’s individual progress towards their goal. Every 3 months, or sooner if individual goals are reached, educators provide a summary of a child’s learning and progress.

Age-specific learning

The centre has two dedicated rooms for age-specific learning. This helps educators provide enriching and tailored care and activities, and ensures every child feels safe, secure and comfortable. 

• Penguins Room (2-3.5yrs)
• Dolphins Room  (3.5-5yrs)
