Cubs Corner

Welcome to Cubs Corner!

Cubs Corner is a great place to begin your child’s education. Our brand new Early Learning Centre is conveniently located at 216 Cowlishaw St, Greenway.

The Centre will open from 7am – 6pm Monday to Friday. Cubs Corner will close between Christmas and New Year’s Day, as well as public holidays.

All are welcome

Cubs Corner welcomes all children up to six years old. Our dedicated team of educators are experts in early education and care, and would love to have the opportunity to work with families and the local community as their children develop.

Program

At Cubs Corner, we are committed to providing a developmental and educational program which caters for each child’s individual needs, abilities, and interests. Our program will continue to develop each and every day, as we build relationships with the children and their families. We strive to work on our partnerships with the local community and families to ensure each child’s knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities and interests are the foundation of our programs.

Throughout all age groups our educators refer to and use the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) as the basis of the curriculum.

“Fundamental to the Framework is a view of children’s lives as characterised by belonging, being and becoming. From before birth children are connected to family, community, culture and place. Their earliest development and learning take place through these relationships, particularly within families, who are children’s first and most influential educators. As children participate in everyday life, they develop interests and construct their own identities and understandings of the world (EYLF pg. 7)”

Prepare for school

At Cubs Corner, our team of educators will provide your child with the foundation they need to begin their formal education. We’ll assist with the teaching of traditional literacy and numeracy skills, as well the logic and reasoning needed to become great lifelong learners.

Supportive and caring

Ensuring that your child feels welcome and supported is at the core of everything we do at Cubs Corner. Our goal is for every child that stays at our centre to feel at home. We work closely with all children and parents to foster a supportive and positive environment. We like to think of Cubs Corner as an extension of your home, and questions are welcome at any time.

Healthy Nutrition

At Cubs Corner, we have a four-week rotational menu which is prepared by our qualified Chef. The menu includes:

• Breakfast
• Morning Tea
• Lunch
• Afternoon Tea
• Late Snack (5pm)

As parents, educators and carers, we believe it’s our responsibility to guide children towards sound food habits. At Cubs Corner, we teach the children about healthy eating and help them develop positive eating habits.

Our menu is developed with feedback from the children and families. We encourage families to share their favourite recipes from home, and do everything we can to incorporate these into our menus. Our menus are developed in accordance with guidelines from Nutrition Australia. A nutritionist also evaluates the menus to ensure they meet these requirements.

All recipes are available for families to try at home, please ask our friendly Chef for a copy to take home.
