Our Programs
3 Year Old & 4 Year Old Programs
Through hands-on and open-ended learning experiences, our 3 and 4-year-old programs aim to reflect children’s emerging interests and abilities, promote creativity and exploration, curiosity and reflect different cultures and learning styles.
Our philosophy and programming are guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and the National Early Years Framework (EYLF) and underpinned by the National Quality Standards (NQS) as well as through a range of curriculum approaches such as a play-based pedagogy, child-centred, emergent based learning, and intentional teaching practices that are purposeful and may be pre-planned and spontaneous to support goals.
We encourage the children to:
Think and create
Solve Problems
Construct ideas and Understandings
Our Facilities
The Kindergarten has two separate learning environments to accommodate longer sessional times for 3YO and 4YO programs.
3 Year Old Room
The kinder received $220,000 through a successful grant application to build an additional room to accommodate the 15 hours. It has an opened kitchen to cater for diverse cooking experiences with children and their families, disabled toilet with easy access throughout the indoor and outdoor environments.
This beautifully planned teaching environment, an essential ingredient of learning, the physical layout promotes learning, exploration and the inclusion for all children and families to feel welcome.
4 Year Old Room
The spacious 4YO room is a well-arranged environment to help our children’s needs during play and routines, materials for play are well organised for group experiences with attention to all learners. It promotes a sense of comfort and invites exploration and engagement, independence, easy use, and learning.
We believe children learn best in environments where they have secure relationships with caring and responsive adults and feel safe and free to explore and learn.
Outdoor Learning Environment
The outdoor play space provides for both quiet and active play experiences that are safe and inviting. The newly built playground area and large open spaces are wonderful areas for climbing, running, balancing, exploring and so much more.
There is a huge undercover area for all weather conditions and sand and mud pits to invite adventure for everyone.
Our Bali Hut
A multi-use, outdoor play space with a real Balinese thatched roof to provide opportunities for the children to experience a culturally diverse outdoor play area that is inviting and inclusive. It has a range of textures, surfaces and colours derived from natural sources to respond to children’s connection and appreciation to the natural world.
