6 weeks - 12 months
Our Educators partner with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The nursery children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment and enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, they enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in our light-filled learning hubs. Under the guidance of their Educators, the nursery children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals. During rest time, the nursery children have a nap under a twinkling night sky, accompanied by tranquil music which creates the perfect ambience for quality rest.
2 years - 3 years
Our toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day such as music and movement, yoga, culinary lessons, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities. As they learn about the wider world around them, the toddlers are guided by our Educators to cherish and protect the natural world through the centre’s sustainability program. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun encourages toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. During mealtimes, the toddlers enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
3 years - 4 years
Our Pre-Kindy program is designed to provide curious three-year-olds with a well-rounded play-based learning experience. Supported by qualified and experienced Educators, the children learn key skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, as well as early literacy and language skills - which lays the groundwork for success later in life. Throughout the day, the children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. During mealtimes, the children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
4 years - 6 years
Foundational life skills are pivotal in our Kindy curriculum and underpin the Positive School Transition programs we offer our children. Our Kindy learning journey celebrates the children’s individuality and encourages their love of learning through inspiring and quality play-based opportunities to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children also enjoy yoga, visits from special guests, and regular excursions to local parklands. Mealtimes are an opportunity for the children to enjoy social interactions with their friends and Educators, as well as learn about body awareness and nutrition. Practicing independence, the children help to set up, serve, and clear away their dining area. Throughout the day, the Kindy children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, outdoor fun, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The active Kindy children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track, building volcanoes in the sandpit or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.
All included as part of the daily fee:
Nutrition plays a vital role in childhood development. At Green Leaves Early Learning, the centre Chef prepares nutritious meals based on seasonally crafted menus to nourish active growing bodies.
As part of their learning journey, babies, toddlers, and children will take part in Chef-led culinary classes, where they will learn the importance of nourishing their bodies while preparing wholesome snacks.

We would highly recommend Green Leaves Forest Springs to any family in need of Childcare. Our daughter comes home each day mentally fulfilled and her development has been incredible since she started at the centre. Initially we were at another centre in town 2 days and Forest Springs the other 2 days a week, I shed tears of happiness when I received the phone call offering the 4 days we were after at the Forest Springs centre. The staff are all approachable, friendly and highly skilled. We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter is in each day.
Thank you for the great review, Jenna 🥰. We’re incredibly proud of the welcoming environment our team has created, and that you and your daughter is having such a wonderful experience at our centre. Warm regards, Tara – Green Leaves Forest Springs Centre Director

This centre was well worth the wait and is still worth every cent paid. The kids thrive and absolutely love all the educators and staff members. The free coffee every drop off is a beautiful kickstart to the morning also
Emma Hird
Wonderful team of educators and admin staff. They've made it very easy to transitioning into care as we communicate every step of the way all milestones and development updates. It's easy to relax knowing the centre is one big family 🥰
