Education Program

The ‘Early Years Learning Framework’ is an essential curriculum tool which guides our educators practice with the children.

Rainbow Room

(2 to 3.5 years)

Our educators observe each child’s interests and needs, thus enabling us to guide weekly programming. We then extend and engage the children further, developing their skills and knowledge in order to meet their individual needs.

Their daily routine involves:

• Indoor Activities (Puzzles, table activities, construction, home corner, dress-ups, dancing, creative arts, cooking experiences, reading corner etc)
• Group learning engagement mat time (Stories, songs, nursery rhymes, project or interest based, social and emotional development, learning dispositions, health/safety etc)
• Outdoor Play: sandpit area, construction mats, reading mat, bicycles, cubby houses and a variety of outdoor playground equipment and toys. There is also the opportunity for the children to explore the natural environment through our sustainable vegetable gardens in the side yards. Each child can plant, water and nurture their own vegetables and harvest them for Miss Lynda to include in our meal time.
• A variety of sensory experiences to engage children’s curiosity and inquiry.
• Nappy change and toilet facilities
• Music and movement time
• Sleeping and rest time in individually allocated beds
• Lunch prepared by the Centre Cook
