Childcare Room Information

Our Beautiful Babies Room
(6mths – 15mths)

All babies develop in the same order but at completely different rates. So while one seven-month-old is crawling around and chattering madly, another may be playing silently on his playmat. Baby development is incredible and we feel truly blessed to be a part of this time. You may find development happens in fits and starts. Your little one may crawl for months and then suddenly decide to walk. Some weeks, you may witness amazing changes and then it stops, and sometimes they may even go backwards a bit. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. Through interest based play programs and allowing our bubs to explore their environment we assist in developing the foundations of all future learning.

Our Dynamic Toddler Room
(15mths – 2yrs)

Curious toddlers develop their most important skills by playing and experimenting. Throughout the toddler stage your child will begin to understand peer relations, turn taking, separation and much more. By allowing this age group to explore their environment and gently guiding interactions we ensure your growing toddler develops the necessary tools to progress to our Pre-Kindy room.

Our Playful Pre-Kindy Room
(2yrs – 3yrs)

Within our Pre-Kindy room your child will become increasingly independent and aware of their abilities. At this stage of development children want to do more for themselves and you may find this is why the tantrums appear to increase; at times there is a big difference between what they want to do and what they physically can do. We ensure that your child can develop their new found independence in a safe and stress free manner even if we take a little longer to get there!

Our Crazy Kindy Room
(3yrs – 4yrs)

Between the ages of 3 and 4 children develop a very real understanding of who they are and what they want. Articulating needs becomes a main focus and the need to learn as much as possible is also enhanced; you may be getting used to the question 'Why?' at this stage of your child's life! By allowing your child to ask questions, choose their desired activities and explore their role within the room assists in developing a positive self concept and a confident child.

Our Fun Preschool Room
(3½yrs – school age)

This is a very important part of your child's development and growth. Our Preschool children discuss what they would like to do each day within their morning group time and they enjoy these as well as programmed activities which enhance their abilities in all areas. At this age children form close friendships, begin to understand the concepts of conversation, empathy and complex emotions. The Preschool age child is full of energy and wants to learn, which is why we design our programs around their interests and abilities. We ensure that your child is confident and ready to head toward their next big challenge – school!
