Programs to build confident and happy learners
Nursery (6 weeks to 2 years)
Nursery introduces children to the world of play, craft, music, and learning to encourage reaching those development milestones.
On a daily basis we:
Paint and explore textures through crafts and fun activities
Sing and make music with clapping sticks, bells and tambourines (we also have fortnightly lessons with Making Rainbows)
Have dance parties to strengthen our muscles and practice coordination
Try yummy and nutritious food as well as the occasional cooking lesson
Have lots of cuddles and rest opportunities too
Junior Kindy (2 to 3 years)
Junior Kindy is about nurturing and challenging littles ones ready and curious to understand more about the world around them.
On a daily basis we:
Paint, draw and do crafts using our imaginations to create new things or make interpretations of the things we see around us
Develop our language through reading books, singing songs and learning nursery rhymes
Have lots of fun playing with the dedicated activities our teachers put out for us to explore
Get moving, whether it be playing on the obstacle course, playing a game with our teachers or having a dance party with our friends
Eat yummy and nutritious food, whilst learning the importance of cleaning up properly and recycling our food scraps for the neighbourhood chickens
We also walk down fortnightly and spend quality time with our elderly neighbours at Salem Aged Care, and we have music lessons every fortnight with Making Rainbows too!
Kindy (4 to 5 years)
Kindy prepares children for ‘big school’, building upon their literacy and numeracy skills and self-expression in a fun and safe learning environment.
On a daily basis we:
Learn about our letters and numbers to practice our writing, reading and maths skills to prepare us for ‘big school’
Paint pictures and do fun crafts that expand our imaginations
Get outside to move our bodies and play lots of games, including visiting the park next door
Sing songs and learn music from Making Rainbows friends fortnightly
Eat yummy and nutritious food to fuel our minds and bodies
We also like to visit our elderly friends at Salem Aged Care and go on excursions throughout the year to the local museum and see plays at the Empire Theatre.
