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.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the Centre Manager of this vibrant and nurturing learning community at Springvale 1 World of Learning. My journey in early childhood education began in 2013, fueled by a passion for fostering young minds. With a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and a Bachelor of Business Administration, I have had the privilege of working as a Child Protection Champion, Occupational Health and Safety advocate, and Educational Leader in the early learning sector.

I believe every child is unique, bringing their individual interests, personalities, and diverse cultural backgrounds into our community. Together, these differences create a rich tapestry of authenticity and wonder. At our centre, we celebrate each child's learning journey, offering positive interactions and experiences that help them reach important milestones on their path to success.

In our dedicated early learning environment, children learn every day from their peers, teachers, and surroundings. Our team is passionate about creating a safe, welcoming space that truly feels like a home away from home. Here, children engage in meaningful learning experiences that enhance their understanding of the world around them.

We are fortunate to have a culturally diverse team of educators who speak a range of languages, including Vietnamese, Punjabi, Hindi, Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Indonesian, Bosnian, Serbian, Macedonian, and Croatian. This diversity enriches our centre and helps us connect with families from various backgrounds.

We work in close partnership with families to understand and support each child’s unique needs. Together, we create an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to thrive.

Thank you for choosing our Childcare and Kindergarten as a part of your child’s learning journey. We look forward to working with you and your family to make this experience a truly memorable one.
