From a baby’s first day in care to the year before school, we give children a warm, steady place to play, learn and grow. Here is how our childcare works and which program suits your child.
Our approach
Children learn when they feel safe and when they are genuinely interested. Everything in our rooms is set up to support both.
Play is serious work for young children. Building, painting, pretending and digging in the sandpit help them solve problems, use new words and learn how the world works.
Our educators plan each room around the children in it. When a group gets excited about trucks or rain or feelings, the play follows that interest and gently stretches it.
A child who trusts the adults around them is free to explore. As a small centre, we can keep children with familiar educators, so those bonds have time to grow.
We want every child to feel they belong here: known by name, with their family’s culture respected and friends to look forward to seeing each day.
Victorian framework
Early learning services in Victoria operate under the National Quality Framework. Our programs are guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), which describes how children from birth to eight learn and develop.
Our childcare programs
Each program is designed for a stage of early childhood. Children move up when they are ready, not just when the calendar says so.
2–3 years
Room to move, try things and find their words, with routines that help them settle.
3–4 years
Play with purpose that builds confidence, friendships and early words and numbers.
4–5 years
A play-based kinder year that helps children get ready for the move to school.
Daily routines
Young children feel secure when they know what comes next. Each room follows a steady routine, with room to bend for babies who need their own timetable for feeds and sleep.
A calm welcome, a chat with you at the door, and time for your child to ease into the room.
Indoor and outdoor experiences planned around what the children are interested in right now.
Breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, eaten together as a group.
Sleep for those who need it and quiet, restful activities for those who don’t.
A catch-up with you at pick-up about how the day went.
Children spend time both inside and out each day. Indoors, they have books, art, blocks and sensory play. Outdoors, a fenced play area with a covered sandpit gives them room to run, dig and explore.
