Our centre provides play based educational developmental programs.  The programming is based on observing children on a regular basis, evaluating their needs and planning activities from these observations.  We aim to develop  educational programs to meet the children’s needs and therefore enhance individual development.  Each child will be pace guided to develop at an individual pace according to his or her unique, individual way.  Programs are evaluated on a regular basis.  The skills that the curriculum are based on throughout the centre are:

• Fine Motor (small muscle development e.g. Manipulation)
• Gross Motor (large muscle development e.g. Running, Jumping
• Social (learning to work cohesively with others]
• Emotional (self-esteem, self-worth)
• Cognitive (thinking, problem solving)
• Language (speaking, communicating)

We incorparate the Early Years Learnng Framework [Developed by Department of Education][2009] to assist educators to provide young children with opportunities to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for future success in learning.

"All children  have the best start in life to create a better future for themselves and for the nation"  [quote from Council of Australian Government 2009]

Meals:
There is now clear evidence that childhood nutrition has a lasting effect on many aspects of health. Children need fresh, nutritional food and well-balanced meals. The Centre will provide healthy and nutritious foods that cover the five food groups, such as Cereal, Fruit, Vegetables, Meat & Dairy, for Morning Tea, Lunch, Afternoon Tea and a late snack.

Nutrition Australia:

As a member of Nutrition Australia, our centre will ultilise relevant resources to provide well-balanced and nutritious meals for your children.

SunSmart Australia:
Research indicates that childhood sun exposure is an important contributing factor to the development of skin cancer later in life.  Given that children in centres are there during peak ultraviolet (UVR) times throughout the day, early childhood centres play a major role in both minimizing children’s UVR exposure and providing an environment where policies and procedures can positively influence long-term behaviour.
