Tralee Gardens Centre for Babies and Toddlers

Wonderful centre! I was nervous to send my 5-month-old to childcare, but they are so kind and caring with him. The staff have always been amazing. The communication is excellent, I always know what’s going on, and there’s always someone to answer my questions. I’m so happy to have found a centre I trust so much, and I’m looking forward to my boy attending all the way through to preschool!

This centre is so amazing. Can’t believe that my daughter on 2nd day says goodbye to me happily and ready to go. She was so happy when she came back from 1st day as well. Children are very sensitive, and they love going to places they are loved and fed well. I must say Rima and her educators are so good. It took my daughter 2 years to settle in her old day-care, but with Tralee Gardens, on day 2 she is all settled in. I have one word for this centre – WOW! So glad we found this centre.

This is an excellent early learning centre; it is family managed and provides utmost importance to needs of growing kids. They have various planned activities for kids throughout the day. Overall, it is managed very well with attentive staff giving high priority to hygiene and well-being of kids. Have sent kid for 2 years and would highly recommend it.

My daughter attended Tralee gardens for 4 years starting from Babies to pre-school. From the very first day we knew that my daughter is in the best hands ever. On my daughter’s last day at day care, we all were so emotional (Us, teachers, and owner) as we have had that bonding among us as a big Tralee Family. Everything about this childcare is beyond incredible and I would recommend it to any parent. Thank you, Rima, and entire Tralee staff, for your attention, love, and care.

I highly recommend Tralee Gardens to all parents. My daughter has been attending the centre for over 2 years now and she loves it. She has grown, learnt, and developed so much at the centre and I'm very appreciative. Thank you, Tralee Gardens, for creating a safe, fun, and positive learning environment for my daughter.

From the moment I entered Tralee Gardens, I knew it was the right place for my daughter! It is such a positive environment, filled with enthusiastic teachers! My daughter has learnt so much, improved vocabulary and built good social skills. Facility overall is clean and organized. They are wonderful about providing updates on my daughter's progress or day, and timely announcements. Thank you, Rima, and all teachers. Really appreciate all your efforts.

Tralee Gardens has always exceeded my expectations and I’m assured every day that I have made the right decision for my Son who is very shy and clingy who is attending the center just over a year now. Tralee Gardens Team are just awesome, they always give their best and have always been amazing. Thank you team!

Tralee Gardens Preschool follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which understands that children learn and explore through play. Their understanding of the world develops through communication, discovery, imagination, and creation. The EYLF aims to develop in your child a strong sense of identity, connection and contribution to their world, a strong sense of wellbeing, confidence and involvement in learning, and effective communication skills.

Preschool: 

At Tralee Gardens Preschool your child will have a chance to practice their social skills, like sharing, taking turns, as well as understanding their emotions through the PALS (Play and Learn to Socialise) program. 

The educators want to ensure your child has the confidence, independence and skills to succeed in future learning. The school readiness program includes literacy, numeracy and science, offered through the EYLF. Extracurricular programs such as, excursions to local primary schools and the provision of transition to school reports, support this important stage in a child’s education. 

Children explore a range of activities based on their interests to further develop their competence and confidence in areas of motor development, social skills, independence skills, language skills and critical thinking skills.

School readiness program: prepares children for the transition to school by developing their competence and confidence in the areas of motor development, social skills, independence skills, language skills and the ability to challenge bias. The preschool works closely with the local schools to ensure the best program is provided for the children.

Cooking program: Using age-appropriate utensils and ingredients, the educators guide the children into becoming more independent, giving them opportunities to pour, stir, measure, and mix ingredients. Cooking gives children unique ways to practice their social skills, including sharing and taking turns.

Sustainability program: Taking care of the environment is an important responsibility to learn from a young age. Tralee Gardens Preschool’s mission is to ensure children have opportunities to learn the different ways to take care of the world around them. Activities include recycling and reusing items, feeding the centre’s chickens and taking care of the vegetable garden and worm farm.

Yoga & meditation: This program provides opportunities for children to practice their balancing, stretching, and listening skills. Educators use visual aids to assist with the movements, as well as guidance via modelling the movements. Meditation improves a child’s wellbeing and encourages the use of imagination in unique ways. 

Sports program: With the extensive resources available in all rooms, educators encourage children to participate in sporting activities through challenging, age-appropriate obstacles. Children are exposed to different sports, like soccer, tennis, and basketball. Social skills are practised through taking turns and encouraging other children. Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) differ every week and are used to practice important physical skills, like catching, throwing and jumping.

Multicultural dancing: As a multicultural community, Tralee Gardens Preschool loves to use different music from different cultures to use for dancing. Families are encouraged to suggest music that they enjoy listening to with their children at home, to be played at the centre.

Language program: Literacy and language development in Early Education is enhanced by experiences such as visual, linguistic, and cognitive strategies. The centre uses the ELLA (Early Learning Languages Australia) app, a multi-lingual good morning song, rhymes and counting in different languages as well as spontaneous conversations with bilingual educators, to encourage the learning of other languages.
