Children Playing Games in Childcare

Foundations for life long learning  

Core Learning Areas

Words and numbers in motion! 

 

Reading time to support vocabulary building and learning new sounds. Children are exposed to a variety of topics to broaden their horizon and introduce them to new ideas and concepts.

 

Maths is introduced as the concept of 'numbers in life' so that children grasp the relationship between maths and daily life as early as possible.  

Literacy & Numeracy

Supporting the development of healthy relationships with others. ​

 

Social well-being is about ensuring children develop the right communication skills that will help them build positive, healthy relationships with others throughout their lives. It teaches children meaningful social interaction, communication skills and the importance of regulating their emotions. It also teaches the importance of care, empathy and respect.

 

Healthy social connections is pivotal to a child's growth and well-being.

Social Wellbeing

Kids learning about science in early learning centres in Sydney.

Nurturing a child’s interest in the natural world. 

 

Children undertake exciting science projects that promote a sense of adventure and curiosity whilst learning about problem solving and the basic elements of scientific reasoning. 

Children are introduced to different plant life, and they get to meet cute little creatures, such as chicks and turtles, which are hosted annually at every Kidzspot Centre. ​​

The wonders of science come from those who wandered. 

Science & Nature

Active bodies for active minds. ​We participate in the NSW Government’s Munch & Move Program.

 

What is Munch & Move? Munch & Move is a play-based program that supports child development by promoting healthy eating and physical activity. The children are taught about healthy living by practicing a new physical skill every week. Munch and Move runs throughout the year and involves fun games and activities as the children practice kicking, balancing, jumping and more. Healthy minds need healthy bodies, let’s keep them munching and moving.

Physical Health

Our Arts & Creativity curriculum includes activities in the core areas of music & dance, drama, and  arts & crafts. 

Music and dance to develop gross motor skills, awareness of movement and body, social skills, emotion and thought expression.

 

Drama to unleash unleashes expression, imagination and creativity.

And arts and craft to help children identify new shapes, colours and textures.

Arts & Creativity

Construction play involves working with ‘things’ and getting young minds and hands to stack assemble, disassemble, sort, mould and shape.

 

Constructive play helps children develop their fine and gross motor skills as they master control and manipulation of objects. It's like mini project management. Children get to think, plan, prepare, do and review. It also requires problem-solving as well as working as part of a team. ​

 

Constructive play is project management in action. There is no right or wrong in creativity; there is just individual self expression.

Early Learning and Childcare

​​Studies show that a child's brain develops more between birth to age 5 than at any other time in life. We also know that children who do not attend preschool are 50% more likely to start school behind their peers. Early learning programs will escalate a child's skills and abilities in key social and cognitive functions, such as:

  • Fine and gross motor development

  • Healthy eating and wellness habits

  • Problem solving

  • Increased vocabulary

  • Scientific thinking and enquiry

  • Speaking in sentences/conversation

  • Emergent writing

  • Mathematical thinking, counting and measuring

  • Planning and reflection

  • Eagerness/curiosity for learning

  • Persistence

  • Social skills with peers and adults

  • Greater identity of who they are

  • Understanding of people, places and environments

STEM Learning

Science I Technology Engineering I Mathematics

STEM learning in early education is crucial to the successful transition to school because STEM is important for all children. It’s not just for kids who have natural abilities in maths and science. STEM learning is vital for the development of skills such as critical thinking, observation, problem-solving and planning. STEM is about applying knowledge rather than just remembering it.

 

STEM subjects helps children construct meaning of the world around them as they engage in hands-on explorations in co-constructed environments.
