How it fits together

What families ask about the curriculum

Four questions about how the programs and the rooms relate.

What every program is built on

The four ideas that run through all seven.

The whole child

Learning and wellbeing planned together rather than in turn, because a child who feels safe is a child who can learn.

Play as the method

Almost all early development happens through play, so the play is planned rather than filled in around the teaching.

Observed, then planned

Educators watch each child and build the next experience around their interests, within the Early Years Learning Framework.

The same at every centre

The programs, the room names and the thinking behind them are shared, so a family moving centres is not starting again.

Core programs

Each program is designed to support the whole child, from learning and wellbeing to confidence, creativity and connection.

Nurtured Beginnings
Our program for children six weeks to two years, in the Great Barrier Reef room. Who cares for your child, how they settle, how they sleep and feed.
Growing Minds
Our program for children two to four years: language, first friendships, and learning to manage emotions that arrive far bigger than they are.
Bright Start to School
Our school readiness program, designed by our Early Childhood Teachers and run in four phases across the whole preschool year.
Nutrition
Five meals a day, cooked fresh on site by our own centre cooks, on a menu built to the Caring for Children guidelines.
Music and Movement
Music and movement in every room, every day: expression, regulation and the fundamental movement skills every game rests on.
Arkki
Weekly incursions run with Arkki, the Finnish creative education program where children think, design and solve problems through architecture.
