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.

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 Tori, and I am the Centre Manager here at Chancellor Park World of Learning. I began my career in early childhood education and care in 1990 and started working at World of Learning Chancellor Park in 2014. I hold a Bachelor of teaching and a Bachelor of education in early childhood. I am registered with the Queensland Teachers Collage. 

I began my career as an assistant supporting an OOSH service. Completing my Diploma, I stepped up to room leader in a long day care setting, where I took on my first position as centre manager for a period of 5 years, as well as studying at university for 3 years. I have travelled with my husband’s work and went back into the position of lead educator. Moving to Townsville 8 years ago, I completed my fourth year at University, whilst being employed as a ECT. Moving to the Sunshine Coast, I took up a contract with the QLD Education Department as a teacher for a short time. Concreting my passion for the early childhood sector, I transitioned back into an ECT role at Chancellor Park World of Learning for the last 6 years. I recently stepped up to the Centre manager role.

My philosophy on teaching in the early childhood sector has evolved over the 30 years in the industry. I believe play needs to be preserved and that children need to be empowered and seen as capable, confident learners within an environment that allows for discovery, inquiry and investigation. I’m excited and passionate about being able to be apart of the children’s learning journey. Valuing their uniqueness in their growth, learning and development. It is a privilege to be apart of and building relationships with the families. 

I value and respect all children. I mentor and support learning in a fun, play based learning environment that fosters uniqueness and inquiry-based approach. 

The learning environment fosters wellbeing and allows children to build up social / emotional skills and build on their resilience in social situations. It fosters friendships and partnerships. 

Our amazing team is diverse with knowledge, skills and backgrounds, who work collaboratively, with passion for and with children and the families for best possible outcomes. They are dedicated and highly motivated in working together to provide high quality programs for children. 

Our team understands just how important your children are to you and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. World of Learning Early Education Centres has extensive policy and procedures in place to assist our team in protecting children in our care.

Meet and greet times are valuable ways to connect with families. We stay connected with families through our Xplor online platform where we communicate to families about their child’s day. Especially valuable for our families who parents work away form home. It keeps them involved in their child’s learning and day. 

We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions one by one. We walk families through all the forms and administration that need to be done, this includes enrolment forms, Child Care Subsidy (CCS), explaining subsidies, government caps, centre schedules, our centre menu and more.
