Daily Meals Provided

Local business Chef for Kids, is our main food provider offering a variety of local fresh foods bringing healthy nutritious meals into our daily routine. Using whole meal flour and local honey to eliminate high sugars is an outstanding way to promote health and nutrition to children from a parent and Centre perspectives. Our fruit and vegetables come from The Tewantin Fruit Market or from our own garden and our Yogurt from the Queensland Yogurt Company.

Curriculum

The Centre curriculum is designed from the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines and the Early Years Learning Framework 2.0 for Australia. It embraces the inclusive vision that “All children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life”. It values each child as an active learner, explorer, and investigator, giving them ownership of their individual learning as they discover new knowledge through play.

Our environment focuses on child agency and is set up within learning areas for distinctive choice of interest for each child. Our focus on uninterrupted play empowers children to immerse themselves in meaningful play and our focused activity/routine times allows them to develop skills needed for all future learning.

SSP Literacy program

To transition children into prep and give them a whole language approach to learning we offer the SSP literacy program through child agency and small group play and games. This phonemic awareness program is based on letter formation and phonemes through monster moves.

Sustainable Living Learning

Our Sustainable learning program is embedded into daily practices with our recycled workshop, Plant hospital and vegetable garden, worm farm, compost. Parent participation is always welcome and encourage to extend this learning into family homes.

Getting to know our Community

Community awareness underlines our program as we express our involvement through learning experiences. We participate in many local charity events, link with the community Library for sessions and events, experience visits from the Fire Brigade, Police and Ambulance, and invite local businesses and voluntary services into the program to share our social responsibility.

Excursion

A Centre excursion will also be provided free of charge. The location will depend on the yearly events of the curriculum, and child interests, with an open decision to be made toward the end of the year.

We look forward to sharing your child’s learning journey with you.
