About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

“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 by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water 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 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.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

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.

Hello, my name is Nicole. I started my career in Early Childhood Education and Care in 2004 and have completed an Advanced Diploma of Early Education and Care. Even though I am new to World of Learning Croydon in 2022, I have been working with childcare in a variety of roles including Assistant Educator, Lead Educator, Assistant Centre Manager and Centre Manager for other child care centres.

Early education is my passion. I have always wanted to work with children from a very young age and have always felt that working in early learning is where I could make a difference as I feel the first years of a child’s life are the most important.

Through personal experiences with my own children, I was inspired to make a difference in not only children’s but families' lives as well. I strive to create an environment where children are loved and nurtured, where they are given opportunities to become courageous and confident learners but also a place where parents fell that the Centre and Educators are an extension of their family

I believe that the formation of great relationships between children, educators and families is the foundation of early learning and education. It’s our role as educators to introduce and develop an absolute love of learning in children. Early education should be a great big fun adventure every day that allows individuality for children to learn and grow at their own pace and to be themselves, to celebrate the successes and work together through challenges in a supportive trusting environment where children are eager and confident to keep trying and take on new challenges.

Social and emotional development is such an important part of children’s learning. At early learning centres we can provide opportunities to children that might not be available to them at home. They will have the opportunity to learn and practice skills that they will take with them their entire life.

What makes our team special is the bonds that we form with the families. We create meaningful relationships with all our families and provide that community feel here at the centre that is like a home away from home for your little one.

We aim to support families by striving to be a centre that is an extension of the child’s family, where parents are involved and consulted in all aspects of their child’s day. We endeavour to be available for families and work together for great outcomes for their children.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you do for our daughter. She absolutely loves coming in every day and always comes home with a smile (and lots of stories!). We’ve seen such great progress in her learning and confidence — and it’s clear she feels safe, happy, and cared for with you all. We really appreciate the warmth, patience, and fun you bring into her day. Thanks again for being such a special part of her early years!

Response from the owner 23 Jun 2025

My daughter started at Croydon World of learning when she was 3 years old. We are very happy with the centre and staff. Our daughter loves going, she always comes home happy. She has learnt so much there, they are very engaging. There have a great range of extra activities like music and Spanish. The food that is provided is fresh and healthy. The children that attend get to try a variety of cuisines. The staff are very caring, they provide daily feedback, and work together with you about any concerns. I have seen a massive improvement in my daughter’s social skills since attending Croydon World of Learning. I would definitely recommend this centre to other parents.
