About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 12 months
Our Educators partner with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The nursery children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment and enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, they enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in our light-filled learning hubs. Under the guidance of their Educators, the nursery children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals. During rest time, the nursery children have a nap under a twinkling night sky, accompanied by tranquil music which creates the perfect ambience for quality rest.
2 years - 3 years
Our toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day such as music and movement, yoga, culinary lessons, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities. As they learn about the wider world around them, the toddlers are guided by our Educators to cherish and protect the natural world through the centre’s sustainability program. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun encourages toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. During mealtimes, the toddlers enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
3 years - 4 years
Our Pre-Kindy program is designed to provide curious three-year-olds with a well-rounded play-based learning experience. Supported by qualified and experienced Educators, the children learn key skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, as well as early literacy and language skills - which lays the groundwork for success later in life. Throughout the day, the children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. During mealtimes, the children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
4 years - 6 years
Foundational life skills are pivotal in our Kindy curriculum and underpin the Positive School Transition programs we offer our children. Our Kindy learning journey celebrates the children’s individuality and encourages their love of learning through inspiring and quality play-based opportunities to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children also enjoy yoga, visits from special guests, and regular excursions to local parklands. Mealtimes are an opportunity for the children to enjoy social interactions with their friends and Educators, as well as learn about body awareness and nutrition. Practicing independence, the children help to set up, serve, and clear away their dining area. Throughout the day, the Kindy children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, outdoor fun, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The active Kindy children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track, building volcanoes in the sandpit or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.

My daughter attends Green Leaves Carindale and has done so for a little over 12 months now. After removing her from a previous centre due to a number of issues, we were very cautious and worried placing our trust in another centre. In the past year, I can honestly say we have not been able to fault this centre. Lydia, Lishan, and the full management team are all so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble (even when dealing with a helicopter mum like me!). The educators are all incredible and take the time to establish individual bonds with the children in their care. Something small my partner and I noticed from day one that means a lot to us is that every single educator knows all the children by name - regardless of which room they are in. Educators in rooms on the opposite side of the building will walk past and greet my daughter by name and that really goes a long way to me as a parent. The kids are always doing some fun, new activity and eat far better than I do in any given day! The centre is spotless, turnover seems very low compared to other centres and I am genuinely shocked that their ACECQA rating isn’t higher. I strongly recommend anyone looking at daycare options in the area to check it out. Read more
