To enjoy the full benefit of the educational program, we prefer that children arrive before 9:30am and stay until 3:30pm

The children are given a well balanced, nutritional lunch prepared by our in-house cook. This is supplemented by morning and afternoon tea.

A mid day sleep is encouraged where applicable

The children are located in their own rooms for indoor activities, morning/afternoon tea, lunch time, rest time and group times. In the early morning and late afternoon and on special occasions all the children are grouped together.

The educators implement a program based on the individual child’s needs and interests. Educators observe and record the child’s progress and develop a program that is child initiated. The children’s interests become the guidelines for all projects, work and curriculum that is implemented in the room. Educators develop a portfolio for each individual child which contains learning experiences that the child was involved in. Educator/parent interviews and information nights are held throughout the year to discuss each child’s progress in detail.

The weekly program is displayed in each room. If parents have any questions on their child’s individual development they may make an appointment to speak with the Director or educating staff.

Walks to the local library are scheduled weekly for the Kangaroos and Kookaburras alternatively as part of the educational program. Parents are asked to assist staff in supervising the children to allow for this ongoing experience.
