My son Krithik started at the daycare when he was just 8 months old, and from the very beginning the staff cared for him as if he were their own. The love, attention, and gentle guidance they gave him made us feel completely at ease. They have taught him so much and supported him in every way. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care and affection they continue to show our child.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

The educators at Mayfield Sydenham understand that for children, the first eight years are fundamental in establishing core values, sense of identity, and self-worth. 

They see parents and families as the first educator, and that their role is to work together in a collaborative and supportive way on a child’s learning journey.

The educational philosophies at the centre are based on the Reggio Emilia approach to learning which supports enquiry and play-based learning opportunities in natural and responsive environments. The learning programs are designed to be emergent in nature and guided by the children’s interests and needs.

The centre’s learning programs are informed by both the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) which is based on the fundamental belief that children’s lives are characterised as “Belonging, Being and Becoming”; and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) which identifies five learning outcomes for children that the centre strives toward:

  • Children have a strong sense of identity (IDENTITY)
  • Children are connected with and contribute to their world (COMMUNITY)
  • Children have a strong sense of wellbeing (WELLBEING)
  • Children are confident and involved learners (LEARNING)
  • Children are effective communicators (COMMUNICATION)

There are five rooms at the centre covering the following age groupings:

  • Nursery: 6 weeks -  18 months
  • Toddler 1: 15 months - 2.5 years
  • Toddler 2: 2.5 years - 3 years
  • Pre Kinder: 3 years - 4 years
  • Kinder: 4 years - 5 years

I have been in the early education sector for 20 years, stopping briefly to have 2 children. I have an Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services and strongly believe in working, and building relationships with the children and families of my service, collaborating together to to ensure that all children have the best opportunity for development. Through nurturing a child's mind, creativity and interests, in a safe, caring and fun environment, we, as educators, support the development of all children into the amazing young people they will be in the future.

Our family have been attending this centre for a number of years as we have transitioned from nursery right through to 4 year old kinder. It feels more like a welcoming family than a daycare centre as every educator knows each child and parent and it genuinely feels like they truly care for each and every child. Open and honest communication throughout. Most importantly my kids LOVE going. It isnt chaotic with over full rooms which is another reason why we love this place! Such a relief to know they are really well cared for in such a warm and nurturing environment.
