Our age groups are named after Australian Animals to acknowledge part of our land and culture

Our Centre is licensed for 38 children per day and we provide care for the following age groups:

Nursery Space 
  •  Wali’s (Blue Tongue Lizard) Nursery 6 weeks to 2.5 years 
Ratio- 1 educator to 4 children
​

​
  • Arinya’s (Kangaroo) 3.5 years to 6 years

​
Each group has a personalised routine and program which focuses on the children's strengths and evolves on a daily basis. Our educators plan for both individual children and groups based on the age, stage of development and interests of the children. 
Our natural environment creates the perfect home like setting for all children in our care.

Our philosophy is to challenge and extend the whole child. Our learning spaces:
  • adopt holistic approaches
  • are responsive to children
  • plan and implement learning through play
  • foster intentional teaching
  • create physical and social learning environments that have a positive impact on children’s learning
  • value the cultural and social contexts of children and their families
  • provide for continuity in experiences and enable children to have successful transitions
  • assess and monitor children’s learning to inform provisions and support children in achieving learning outcomes.
