Within the centre we have three distinct rooms providing age appropriate care for our children.  These are:

Possums– catering for babies to two year olds;
Grasshoppers– catering for two to three year olds; and
Dolphins – catering for three to five year olds and incorporating a pre school program.

Room Design

Each room is designed in such a way as to be not only appealing to each specific age group, but also to facilitate learning through everyday activities through designated learning centres.

These include:

• Dramatic Play (Home Corner)
• Construction (Block corner)
• Books
• Drawing & Writing
• Art and Craft
• Puzzles & Cognitive
• Other table activities & interest areas

These learning centres are permanent fixtures in the room. The equipment offered in the areas is changed or modified regularly depending on the children’s current interests, strengths and needs.

Coupled with this indoor design, each room also has an outdoor playground that allows the children the space to play and experience activities best suited to an outdoor environment i.e. water play and more physical activities.

Our indoor and outdoor layouts do not dictate a set activity experience every day, rather staff will add to the layout each time an experience is provided as a follow up to one of the children’s expressed interests, discoveries, needs or strengths.
