About Our Rooms

Where Independence & Curiosity Grow

Our curriculum is centred around creating a safe, engaging and stimulating environment where children can explore, plan and learn while developing essential skills and achieving important milestones.

They receive a developmentally appropriate program tailored to exactly where they are in their journey.

🏃
Physical Development
Moving, Running & Climbing

Children are refining their fine and gross motor skills — learning to walk, run and climb while improving hand-eye coordination through drawing and stacking.

🧠
Cognitive Development
Curiosity & Problem-Solving

Cognitive abilities are rapidly growing. Children become more curious about their surroundings — simple problem-solving, language development and memory skills are all emerging.

🤝
Social & Emotional Development
Empathy & Independence

This age is marked by growing independence and social interactions. Children begin to show empathy and develop attachments to caregivers. Separation anxiety is a normal part of development.

💬
Language Development
Words & Conversations

Vocabulary expands quickly. Children start using basic sentences, follow simple instructions and engage in conversations with others.

🎨
Creativity & Play
Imaginative & Pretend Play

Play is a vital aspect of their development. Children explore the world through imaginative and pretend play, enhancing creativity and problem-solving skills.

"Our Quokkas & Possums rooms focus on providing a nurturing and safe environment that promotes development in physical, cognitive, social and emotional domains. We aim to foster independence, curiosity and a love for learning through play-based activities while maintaining open and effective communication with parents."
