“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.
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, role playing and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddlers 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 skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years
Preschool 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 has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning and 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 Preschool children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.
Throughout the Preschool 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, are supported through group learning experiences. 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. Our goal in the Preschool year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.
Morning
Jesse is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Jesse is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Jesse has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Jesse a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Jesse and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Jesse’s favourite book.
Morning
Nick is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Nick is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Nick identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Nick is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Nick is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Nick picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Nick and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Nick enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Nick is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Nick’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Daniela is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Daniela and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Daniela is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Daniela sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Daniela takes part in the centre’s sports program. Daniela loves sports. Sports helps Daniela improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Daniela is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Daniela and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Our centre chef prepares and cooks 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 across a wide variety of food.
Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.
I’ve been working in Early Childhood Education since 2005, and my journey has taken me through a variety of roles, including Lead Educator, Educational Leader, and Assistant Centre Manager. Now, as the Centre Manager at Great Beginnings Oran Park, I am passionate about leading a team of dedicated educators who share a consistent pedagogy of teaching and learning.
I believe that children thrive when they are given the freedom to make choices in an environment that is both enriching and stimulating. When children feel empowered and supported, they become motivated to learn and explore. As a leader and mentor, my goal is to guide my team in creating experiences that challenge children while remaining achievable, helping them build confidence and a love for learning.
At Great Beginnings Oran Park, fostering curiosity is at the heart of what we do. We place a strong emphasis on building meaningful relationships with our children and their families because we know these connections are vital for development. We also value our relationship with the local community, as it helps children develop a sense of belonging and connection between their home and our centre.
I am incredibly proud of the warm and welcoming environment we’ve created at Great Beginnings Oran Park early education centre. When you visit, you’ll be greeted with a smile and introduced to a space filled with opportunities for your child to thrive. I’m confident you’ll see all the wonderful things we have to offer and feel assured that your family is in caring and capable hands here.

We’ve had such a lovely experience at Great Beginnings Oran Park! My daughter only started there at the beginning of this year, but we have loved it since. The educators have always made her feel so comfortable and welcome, it is so reassuring knowing she’s in such caring hands.<br><br>The whole team is amazing and we’re so grateful for all the care and support they’ve given her. I’m honestly sad she’s graduating this year, as it means saying goodbye to such a wonderful centre. Would definitely recommend! 😊

My daughter started attending this centre three months ago, and honestly, it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and supportive of all the children.<br><br>My daughter has developmental delays, and I am especially grateful for the way the staff take the time to work with her, understand her individual needs, and support her development. They always keep me updated about her day when I pick her up and regularly upload photos and updates on the app, which I really appreciate.<br><br>The centre is by far the best I have ever experienced. I no longer feel anxious or worried about my daughter while I am at work because I know she is in safe, caring, and supportive hands.<br><br>I am extremely grateful to all the staff and the manager for everything they do for my daughter. Thank you for making such a positive difference in both her life and mine. ❤️
