With a holistic focus, the program at Eden Academy ensures the children grow in all areas of their development. This includes social, emotional, physical and cognitive skill development. 

Nature is an important part of the program, teaching the children to respect and care for the environment. The children learn how vegetables grow and enjoy nature play activities. They understand the calm of spending time outdoors and enjoy all of nature’s creations.

Health and wellbeing is another focus of the program. The children learn about healthy eating and nutrition through the meals prepared by the centre chef. The centre also worked with allied health professionals, including speech pathologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to ensure the children have every opportunity to thrive.

The educators at Eden Academy work in a supportive and caring environment. With a higher educator to child ratio than required under the national quality framework, the educators have more time to dedicate to individualised attention. 

In addition to annual First Aid, Anaphylaxis, CPR and Asthma training, the educators are also encouraged to participate in ongoing professional development. This ensures they are across the latest thinking and research in the sector. The educators work collaboratively as a team, sharing their knowledge and skills with each other.

The relationships between educators and families at Eden Academy are professional and respectful, based on open communication. The centre fosters a strong sense of community and values the role families play in this.
