Our core education concept is “Playful Learning.” Our playful learning environment and programs are built on every child’s unique learning journey. We strive to provide an inclusive and inviting environment that embraces and transcends the holistic growth of your child, which in turn ensures success in school and beyond.
We embrace the Australian Government’s National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) which draws on conclusive international evidence that early childhood is a crucial period for learning and development.
The framework offers a vision where ‘all children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life’. By following EYLF, our educators partner in your child’s growth and development and positively support children’s learning journey with the play-based learning approach which ultimately supports their ‘Being, Belonging, and Becoming.’
Ages 2-3 years & Ages 4-6 years
Children in 2-3 years of age are rapidly developing their physical, social, cognitive and language capabilities. They become self-aware, curious, and seeking to make sense of their world. To engage and nurture each child during this age period, our program aims to provide opportunities for individual playful exploration, as well as social engagement that extends their learning and fosters their creativity, making them ready for the next level.
Children from age 4-6 learn at an astonishing pace! They develop increasing capacity for language and inquiry and for understanding other points of view. The program for this age group focuses on school readiness and celebrates their love for self and learning through innovative and inspiring play-based opportunities. The skills developed here are vital to success in school and beyond, teach them to gain respect for others, and guide them to developing a strong sense of confidence in themselves.
