Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Kindergarten year,children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Georgina, and I am the Centre Manager here at Chelsea World of Learning 2. I started working in early learning in 2000. My passion for being around children started when I was about 10 years old, and I've known ever since that early education was the job for me. Throughout my career, I've learned that children absorb everything like sponges. Our role is to teach them and give them the very best start in life. Understanding that children are highly intelligent, I challenge them, encourage risky play, and integrate them into our wider community every day. My approach is to understand each child's individual personality and needs, build a relationship, and guide them on their learning journey. I believe that giving children knowledge while they are young empowers them to change the world. 

I often explain to families that children learn best with their peers. Our centre offers opportunities for children to grow alongside friends while learning about literacy, STEM, the environment, geography, and different cultures. They learn to share, engage in various activities, and gain experiences that are hard to replicate at home. 

My team consists of long-serving educators who share a passion for our profession and dedication to the children. They do their very best every day, and I am proud of each of them. To support our families, I work different shifts to greet them in the morning and say goodnight in the evening. I am always available in person, on the phone, or via email. This approach has resulted in many wonderful friendships and families staying with us for years. 

I look forward to welcoming your family to our Chelsea early education and kindergarten centre.
