I’m Belle Spillman, and I’m proud to be the Executive Leader and Owner of Forever Learning Kindergarten and Childcare. With more than 25 years of leadership experience across the Early childhood and Education, as well as the professional business sectors, I am deeply passionate about our teams delivering exceptional care, meaningful connections, and inspiring learning experiences for all children.

My journey began as an educator through to a centre director, and has evolved into mentoring early learning services across the Nation, setting up high-quality centres, and supporting educators to be their best. Holding a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, an Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management, with extensive leadership certifications, I bring a unique balance of educational expertise and strategic leadership to Forever Learning.

At the heart of everything I do is a genuine belief that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and inspired. Families can feel confident knowing that our service is led with integrity, excellence, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring that your child’s early years are filled with wonder, growth, and strong foundations for their future.

I am passionate about ensuring our teams are fostering a connected community where families feel welcomed, heard, and supported. It is my privilege to work alongside an incredible team to build a place where every child can thrive and where families are true partners in their child's early learning journey.

At Forever Learning Kindergarten & Childcare, we nurture your child’s growing independence, confidence, and curiosity in a safe and engaging environment.

Our Toddler Program Focuses On:

• Encouraging Independence – Children are supported in making choices about their activities and developing self-help skills like feeding themselves and washing their hands.
• Imaginative Play – Our dramatic play areas, including play kitchens and doctor’s offices, encourage role-play and help little ones make sense of the world around them.
• Early Literacy & Communication – Through teacher-led conversations, storytelling, and early writing experiences in the literacy corner, we foster language growth and expression.
• Sensory & Creative Exploration – Messy play activities like finger-painting, water and sand tables, and hands-on discovery continue to engage and stimulate the senses.
• Social Growth & Play – As toddlers begin to play alongside and with their peers, we support the development of friendships, cooperation, and early social skills.
• This stage is all about learning through play, building confidence, and encouraging a love for exploration and discovery.

At Forever Learning Kindergarten & Childcare, we support your child’s growing independence, curiosity, and social skills in a warm and stimulating environment.

Our Pre-Kinder Program Focuses On

• Building Social & Emotional Skills – Through play and guided interactions, children learn to share, cooperate, express emotions, build friendships, and develop self-regulation.

• Creative & Fine Motor Development – Activities like drawing, painting, and ball play help refine hand-eye coordination and self-expression.
• Active Play & Physical Growth – Running, jumping, and climbing strengthen balance, coordination, and overall physical development.
• Encouraging Curiosity – We nurture a sense of wonder through questioning, exploration, and hands-on experimentation.
• At this stage, we provide rich, play-based learning experiences that build confidence, encourage creativity, and support a lifelong love of learning.

At Forever Learning Kindergarten & Childcare, we provide an enriching, play-based learning environment that fosters creativity, independence, and school readiness.

Our Kinder Program Focuses On

• Problem-Solving & Critical Thinking– Play areas like the construction corner and manipulative play zone encourage building, organising, and experimenting with different materials to develop problem-solvers and independent thinkers.
• Social-Emotional Growth – As cooperative play deepens, children practice turn-taking, conflict resolution, and teamwork with gentle guidance from educators.
• Creative Expression & Fine Motor Skills – Arts and crafts expriences support self-expression, communication and imagination, while strengthening fine motor development.
• Early Literacy & Numeracy – Play-based learning in the literacy and discovery areas introduces pre-writing skills, letter recognition, counting, and simple math in fun and engaging ways.
• Physical Coordination & Strength – Outdoor play includes more advanced climbing equipment, running, and movement activities to build strength and coordination.
• Imaginative & Dramatic Play – Role-play scenarios become increasingly complex, often connecting to learning themes, enabling children to craft and perform detailed stories that enhance memory recall as they interact with the world around them.
• Building Independence & Responsibility – Children take on greater responsibility in daily routines, such as setting up activities, managing transitions, looking after their physical well-being and contributing to class discussions.
• Science & Nature Exploration – The discovery area offers hands-on experiments and observations connected to real-world learning experiences.
• Inquiry and project-based – Children actively inquire, question, investigate, and explore, making significant contributions to decisions and ideas related to their curriculum.
• Music & Movement – Songs, rhythm, beats and patterns enhance language development and thinking skills.
• Cooking – Cooking fosters cultural appreciation and enhances understanding of math concepts like numbers, measurement, and sequencing.
• At this stage, we nurture a love of learning, curiosity, and confidence, preparing children for the transition to school in a supportive, engaging, and fun-filled environment.
