Our rooms cater for different ages and levels of development.
When children have reached a certain age and/or level of development, as assessed by our qualified educators, and in collaboration with parents, they are assisted in making a successful and exciting transition to the next room.
With this in mind, the following age-split is provided as a rough guide only to help you navigate our room structure and developmental goals and objectives.
6 weeks – 2 years: Pipis Room
Our Pipis Room offers a warm inviting early learning environment for children from 6 weeks to 2 years of age. We understand this may be the first experience leaving your child with people outside your family and we invite parents and family members to spend as much time as they like in the room interacting with their child and also getting to know the Educators.
We provide a range of experiences, which helps early developmental milestones, and we also offer a flexible routine, which allows us to keep as close as possible to your child’s home routine. Your child will be introduced to the joys of painting, water play, sand and play dough along with many other experiences. As your child grows we also have opportunities for them to climb, jump, crawl and dance – all this is delivered in a safe supervised environment.
2 – 3 years: Starfish Room
The Starfish Room children are aged between 2 years to 3 years. This room offers a safe environment where we encourage a lot of curiosity, enthusiasm, co-operation, confidence, creativity and imagination. Children in our Starfish Room enjoy using their creativity throughout the day whether it is getting involved in painting, drawing, pasting or play dough. Our room offers an indoor/outdoor program in which our children have opportunities for longer periods of uninterrupted play enabling them to engage in areas of interest and extend on their learning. Our children are at the age where independence plays a big part and as Educators we do our best to promote this as much as we can throughout the day.
