The Future Super Stars program builds on the children’s needs and interests to provide them with challenges to stimulate their growing minds. The weekly Bush Kinder program helps the children to connect with nature and learn about caring for the environment. The educators plan weekly incursions and arrange excursions as appropriate.

The educators at Future Super Stars are dedicated to understanding the needs and interests of every child in their care. They stay abreast of the latest developments and thinking in the sector and share their knowledge across the team. The Kinder program is also taught by a teacher with a University qualification.

Future Super Stars has an open door policy to facilitate collaborative relationships between educators and families. The centre fosters a strong community and offers a diverse and inclusive environment where all families feel welcome. 

Every child has a learning portfolio, which includes their goals, progress notes, assessments, reflections and art samples. The children can also choose to add their own pictures to the portfolio. The children can take these home to share with their families. The content is also loaded to the secure StoryPark platform, accessible by the families.

The educators at Future Super Stars ELC follow a play-based curriculum that nurtures the children’s development across a range of skills. This includes emotional, social, physical, sensory and cognitive skills. The children participate in both structured and spontaneous learning activities in the indoor and outdoor learning environments. 

The curriculum aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and shows respect for the children’s voices. They have opportunities to guide their own learning and contribute to the curriculum through their interests and strengths. 

The educators also build reflection into the curriculum. This includes their own reflection on the learning outcomes as well as the children’s reflection on their own learning. They do this through floor books with photos of the different activities. The children cut and paste the photos into the book while they discuss them with their peers and educators. The children can also paste their own images into their individual learning journal.

Morning 

Zac is 10 months old and in the Nursery room at Future Super Stars. He starts his day at the centre with some outdoor play with his peers. He loves to dig in the sandpit and tries to fill a bucket with sand.

Lunch 

The educators follow Zac’s home routine so he has a nap before lunch. After lunch he sits with his educator and reads some books that he chooses from the bookshelf.

Afternoon

Before he goes home, Zac enjoys doing some finger painting. While he was tentative at first, he soon starts gleefully dipping his fingers into the paint and then putting the paint onto the paper.
