Our Programs

Our programs encourage children to learn through play and intentional teaching. Our curriculum is stimulating, enriching and inclusive for children.

We aim to meet the needs of each individual and value their contribution to our service. It is our goal to nurture each child’s self-esteem, creativity, sense of belonging and growth.

We know that family is key to a child's development and the starting point of service delivery. So we encourage open communication between families, children and staff.

Care and education are the foundation of our programs. Our qualified and skilled educators follow the guidelines of the National Quality Framework and the Victorian Early Years and Development Frameworks for children aged from eight weeks to twelve years.

The long day care program operates extended hours to provide support to families. It provides a safe environment where children can play, learn and grow in their early years of life.

Children are able to attend the service full time, part time or casually, depending on the needs of the family and availability.
