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.

Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years

Preschool 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 Preschool 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 Preschool 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.

Meet the team

Hi my name is Kimberley and I am the Centre Manager at Kindy Patch Forresters Beach. I started working in the early childhood education sector at the age of 16. I hold a diploma in early childhood education and care. I have many years’ experience as a room leader until the opportunity came up to be a Centre Manager.

I have now been involved in the childcare and education sector for over 21 years and have loved it every day, especially having a fantastic team of educators that have helped our centre grow and improve with our programs and opportunities we offer for the children and families. Offering a warm, nurturing and safe environment comes naturally as we make sure each child and family member feels a sense of belonging in our centre.

What I love about my job the most is that I get to play a huge part of the children’s lives and an important part of our local community by helping the children explore all aspects of the environment we offer them. We learn new things every day and as a team we provide the best quality of care to each and every child allowing each learning outcome to be achieved.

I welcome you to drop in any time to find out more about our centre and the quality of care we offer.

We are very disappointed with the centre. We had to pull him out due to a number of issues that were reported to the Department of Education. They have visited the centre multiple times this year and the fact that they have not made any serious changes is terribly concerning. Other parents have expressed their concerns and have had to pull their children out of this centre as well.

Daycare review I’m not sure who’s giving this daycare good reviews because this place is terrible!!!!! Grime and mess in the rooms from the day before, incident reports not being filled out properly or at all!!!, the children constantly have empty water bottles, teachers not acknowledge the children on arrival which is just like… cmon… like really… a simple hi wouldn’t hurt Teachers look like they want to give up, I don’t see any motivation or enthusiasm which trickles down to the children Obviously happy to take the money but not put any real work into our children. If you want all the good work you put into your kids to go down the tubes, send them here. They’ll mess things up for them real good 👍🏽
