Programs

Morning

Sally is eight months old and she starts her day off crawling around and exploring the outdoor play area. Her Mum grabs a coffee and chats to her Educators about her sleep patterns before she heads off to work.

Lunchtime

It’s nearly nap time and Sally and her friends are sitting with an Educator who is reading some books outside in the shade. Sally loves it when her Educator reads in a funny voice.

Afternoon

The children are enjoying some painting and Sally is using her fingers to make a picture that she can take home to show her family.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

At Imagine Childcare and Kindergarten Southport, the Educators believe that children learn through opportunities where they can discover, create, and imagine.  They encourage each child to be an active participant in their learning through intentional teaching and play-based learning. At the centre, every child is recognised as being unique and able to learn in their own individual way. The Educators value collaboration with families to find strategies to adjust to each child’s individual needs and development. 

They build caring relationships with children which enables them to make curriculum and learning experiences relevant to each individual child, and provide opportunities for children to develop their own unique skills, knowledge and abilities. Children are confident and capable learners and should always be challenged in their learning. The Educators build upon children’s knowledge and development by referring to the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines. 

The centre offers care for children in the following groups:

  • Nursery
  • Tiny Tots
  • Toddlers
  • Junior Kindy 1
  • Junior Kindy 2
  • Pre Kindy
  • Kindergarten 1
  • Kindergarten 2
Health & Nutrition

Health & Nutrition

The centre understands that nutrition plays an important role in each child’s physical development as well as their attitudes towards healthy food.

All meals and snacks are prepared onsite by professional qualified chefs every day. The children work alongside the Educators to care for the centre’s vegetable patches, and these vegetables are then used in the kitchen or for cooking experiences with the children.

The Educators use meal time as an opportunity to share positive experiences around food and to help children develop social skills such as sharing and turn taking. They role model positive behaviours and attitudes, and involve the children in the menu planning.

All food allergies, intolerances, cultural requirements and family preferences are taken into account by consulting with parents when meal planning for the children.

Our child had a wonderful experience at this centre. All of the educators and staff were warm, kind and welcoming.<br><br>A special thank you to Swati. She was always so friendly, quick to help, and made everything easy whenever I had a question. Her support really helped us settle in.<br><br>My child absolutely loved the snacks and lunches made by the cook. As a parent, knowing your child is eating well at daycare means a lot.<br><br>I also really appreciated how much the centre focused on hygiene, especially teaching the children to wash their hands properly. My child didn't get sick once while attending, which was amazing.<br><br>We only left because I changed jobs and the location was no longer practical for us. Otherwise, we would have happily stayed. We're very grateful for the care our child received and would definitely recommend this centre to other families.

Highly recommend Imagine Childcare & Kindergarten Southport. Having sent three of my children to this centre, I couldn't be happier with the care they have received. The educators are fantastic and consistently go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. A big thank you to Sharon and the amazing team at Imagine!

We have watched our children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and thrive during their time at the centre. We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication of the entire team and highly recommend Imagine to other families.

We absolutely love this childcare centre. After experiencing several issues at another centres, we made the decision to move our son here and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Sharon, and her senior management team is truly exceptional. Sharon is accommodating, genuine, approachable, and always willing to help find solutions whenever needed. We initially left due to moving to a different area, but returned because we simply weren’t as happy elsewhere. Although it means a longer commute for us, it is absolutely worth it to see our son settled, happy, and thriving. Not going to lie, I’m a bit of a clean freak, and the cleanliness of this centre really stands out. It’s exceptionally well-organised, systematic, and always spotless compared to other centres we’ve attended. The centre continuously invests in creating engaging learning experiences for the children. The recently introduced science room is a fantastic addition. Our son loves exploring and discovering new things, and this hands-on environment is wonderful for supporting children’s curiosity, learning, and development. There events are well organised and amazing. The educators are professional, caring, and highly experienced. They genuinely understand children’s needs and create a nurturing environment where children can grow with confidence. As working parents, we also greatly appreciate the centre’s communication and reporting system. It is simple, informative, and keeps us well updated on our child’s day and progress. We are incredibly grateful for the care, dedication, and support provided by the entire team and would highly recommend this centre to any family looking for high-quality childcare.
