As children grow and develop, they become more curious of the world around them – and are driven to learn and explore. This is an important time to support their curiosity by exposing them to as many learning opportunities as possible.

Our Banksia room provides opportunities for your child to form friendships with peers of their own age. This plays a significant role in supporting children’s social and emotional development, as having healthy and strong friendships help children learn positive social behaviours. This enhances children’s ability to interact with others with care, empathy, respect and cooperation. It also increases individuals’ sense of self, sense of belonging and overall wellbeing.

The environments also provide stimulating opportunities to support their learning through play. In our dramatic play areas, children learn to cooperate, communicate, and engage in literacy and numeracy while acting out real life experiences. With spacious and exciting outdoor spaces, children learn to control and challenge their developing body and movement skills.

The Banksia room with it’s qualified educators helps support children to explore and learn at their own pace; they therefore play a significant part in stimulating children’s passion for learning and exploration.

Learning through play translates the theory of play into practice while seamlessly integrating the National Quality Standards and the Early Years Framework into our curriculum. It aims to create a shared understanding of play and play-based pedagogies that positively influence the everyday practices our educators implement and improves the learning experiences of children.

We have created a network within our community which ensures that we are working with the schools in the local area to create a seamless transition for those children preparing for school. This is supported by the 3b’s neighbourhood network in which our director is a founding member. This network comes together quarterly and focuses on the readiness for learning and development which is then integrated in to our Kindergarten program.

Our exceptional kindergarten program provides every opportunity to prepare your child for a positive start to their schooling years. Our bachelor qualified teacher forms secure relationships with every child, extending their learning and development and focusing on their preparation for school.
