Programming and Planning

The staff at the centre aim to provide quality care and education for all the children. The children are provided with on-going Programs within each room to ensure there are opportunities to further refine and develop new skills within a supportive and nurturing environment. We are also mindful that children require a range of experiences that mirror a home environment so it is important to maintain a balance between structured and less formal play.

Staff aim to provide a range of experiences that meet the needs of individual children. It is now well known that the early years of a child’s life lay very important foundations for future development and learning. Staff are keen to work with parents to ensure that the education and care that is provided is of a high standard and is relevant to the children at the centre.

The activities and experiences provided are for the benefit of the children. Please don’t be discouraged if your child doesn’t bring home artwork, as he/she has been busy learning living skills – such as dressing/undressing, eating, and serving lunch, pouring or messy type activities.

We believe in setting limits so that children are able to learn what socially accepted behaviour is, as well as ensuring their safety. The skill of using positive guidance to develop effective relationships with children expands the growth of their self-esteem.

The Outdoor Program is equally as important as the Indoor Program. We provide a unique range of experiences that not only enhance a child’s physical development, but their imagination, language, social and creative development.
