Programs

Programs

Arkie Wahroonga aims to change the trajectory of children’s education through fun learning opportunities, interactions and experiences. 

Music has been linked to positive emotion, aiding wellbeing and self-regulation. The centre has an amazing studio space, inspired by its association with The Rolling Stone Australia magazine, where children can express themselves through the joy of music. Dance activities also help children refine motor skills and develop personal expression.

Sensory experiences give children the chance to actively use their senses to explore their ideas and imagination. The open-ended opportunities for sensory play include activities that engage all the senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste). This helps children develop physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language skills, as well as creativity and independence

The Bush Kinder program provides children with rich opportunities to learn through outdoor free play. Activities include using real tools, climbing trees, playing with mud and sticks, bare feet time and playing with fire. The children enjoy outdoor play in all weather conditions with the philosophy that “there is no bad weather, only bad clothes” .

The passionate team of educators strive to live sustainably as guardians of the environment for future generations. The centre’s sustainability program provides wonderful opportunities for children to discover and connect with nature, while also learning about the importance of caring for the planet.

Meet the team

Meet the team

Arkie Wahroonga’s qualified and experienced educators work collaboratively to deliver the highest quality early education. Proudly passionate and curious with a drive to make things better, the team nurtures and empowers every child to be independent, creative and confident.

A leadership development program ensures educators have access to continued educational opportunities. Team members enjoy expanding their knowledge and experience not only within early childhood but also across a diverse range of areas.

These skills then enhance all educational programs, providing an even more enriching experience for children.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Arkie Wahroonga proudly partners with parents to inspire confidence, health and happiness in every child. Understanding that every child is unique, the team recognises the importance of parental involvement to deliver its tailored learning programs. This collaboration helps build the social and emotional literacy of every child in preparation for kindergarten and life beyond school. 

Family founded, the centre truly appreciates the importance of family. While the team believes in the importance of play, the educators are also committed to the highest level of safety, care and education for every child.

The team also keeps parents up to date via the Arkie App. This includes regular updates about a child’s day, photos of different activities and events plus information on the children’s routines. It’s also very easy for parents to contact the team with questions or to share important information.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

We love Arkie and our children love coming here. The care our children receive is exceptional. The educators are all wonderful, kind, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s wellbeing and development. The communication is excellent, the environment is welcoming, and it has one of the best playgrounds with so many different areas to explore. All the staff are amazing and are always so helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Our eldest has just completed two amazing years at Arkie before heading off to school. The calibre of the team is exceptional across the board, and the educators are so wonderful and nurturing. The nutrition is excellent and the facilities are outstanding. So happy our youngest is now in such brilliant hands also!

Our little one has been at Arkie Wahroonga since they first opened, and we honestly could not be happier with the care and support our family has received. From day one, he has been genuinely loved and cared for by the educators. It’s clear how much effort the team puts into creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where children feel secure and happy to learn and play. A special thank you to Carly, who was absolutely amazing during a difficult time for our family. Due to health reasons, we could no longer rely on family support and needed to find extra days of care. Carly went above and beyond to help us navigate this and made what could have been a very stressful situation so much easier. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, flexibility and professionalism of the whole team. Arkie Wahroonga truly feels like a community, not just a daycare, and we feel very lucky to be part of it. Highly recommend to any family looking for a caring and supportive early learning centre.
