Love Of Learning Early Learning Centre - Mount Druitt

The curriculum at Love of Learning Early Learning Centre focuses on developmentally appropriate activities and experiences that lay the foundational skills the children need. With a focus on the whole child, the educators support the children with the various transitions they experience as they progress through the different stages of learning.

There are multiple rooms at the centre, each catering to a different age and stage of development. 

• Babies (12 - 24 months): The educators adhere to each child’s individual routine and help them to develop important self-help, communication and motor skills. 
• Caterpillars (2 - 3 years): The toddlers in the two caterpillar rooms are nurtured to develop their independence and social skills through interest-based learning experiences.
• Butterflies (3 - 6 years): The preschool program helps to prepare the children for their transition to big school by equipping them with the skills they will need to succeed.

At Love Of Learning, we understand the pivotal role that nutrition plays in the holistic development of children. Our approach to food goes beyond just nourishment; it encompasses the social, cultural, and educational dimensions of mealtime experiences. We believe that food should not only be nutritious but also contribute to the overall well-being and development of every child in our care.

The early years mark a crucial period for shaping lifelong eating habits. Through thoughtful guidance and support, we aim to instill in children a love for wholesome foods that will support their health and vitality for years to come. Our dedicated team of caregivers recognizes the importance of fostering positive food behaviors during these formative years.

Aligned with the National Quality Framework for Early Education and Care, Love Of Learning upholds a steadfast commitment to providing nutritionally balanced meals. Our practices and policies prioritize factors such as nutritional balance, mealtime ambiance, food safety, and catering to individual dietary requirements, including allergies.

Our menu is meticulously crafted by our experienced staff in collaboration with our talented chefs. It adheres to the recommendations set forth by the Sydney Local Health District and is designed to cater to diverse dietary needs. From gluten-free to vegetarian, halal to lactose intolerant, our menu offers a wide array of options to accommodate various preferences and restrictions.

Ensuring the safety of every child is paramount to us. We maintain an allergy-friendly environment with stringent protocols to prevent cross-contamination. Our chefs are adept at preparing allergy-friendly meals, guaranteeing that all children can partake in delicious and nutritious offerings without compromising their health.

Embracing the bounty of each season, our menu undergoes regular rotations to introduce new and seasonal foods. We prioritize the use of fresh, quality ingredients to enhance both the nutritional value and flavor profile of our meals. The menu's four-week cycle allows for a diverse range of culinary experiences while promoting a connection to nature's rhythms.

To safeguard the well-being of children with nut allergies, Love Of Learning operates as a nut-free zone. We strictly prohibit the presence of nuts or nut-containing products within our premises, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all.

We believe that access to nutritious meals is a fundamental right for every child. As such, all meal requirements are included in our daily fees, alleviating any financial burden on families. Milk and water are served at each mealtime, promoting hydration and supporting overall health.

At Love Of Learning, we recognize the power of food beyond sustenance—it serves as a catalyst for growth, learning, and joyful connections. Through our holistic approach to nutrition, we strive to nurture healthy bodies, curious minds, and vibrant spirits in every child we serve.
