We’ve designed a unique early learning program that encourages children to learn, explore and discover the world around them. It’s based on the principles of the National Early Learning Framework but goes well beyond these standards, to give your child the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to thrive.
Have a look inside our centre to see our recent learning projects, celebrations and milestones.

Our Pillars
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
We believe that childcare should be an extension of your home. Each space within our four centres is creatively imbued with colour, artworks, books, toys, building materials, photographs, art supplies and natural materials. We encourage the children to interact and feel connected to the physical environment around them.
LOVE OF LEARNING
Our educators wholeheartedly believe that each child is capable, inventive and imaginative. We take on a holistic approach allowing independence, exploration and self-expression to develop. Each child at Care for Kindies is given endless opportunities to discover, learn and feel accomplished throughout the day. Our philosophy is focused around inspiring knowledge in a genuine, engaging yet playful manner.
PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Our program has a strong focus on scaffolding the children’s knowledge. We love to plan experiences around their interests and to extend their learning via ongoing projects. We also include many intentional teaching opportunities.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
We value the strong relationships that we build with our local community. We offer children many opportunities to experience the diversity and interact positively with others. We support the children to build their confidence in new situations and to extend their knowledge through outside learning.
