Our nurturing and engaging Nursery Classroom exudes warmth and security, assuring you that your child will thrive under our care, safe and content. There is an emphasis on the children forging trusting bonds with our Educators, while engaging in age-appropriate activities.

Building trusting relationships is paramount during these early years, and our Educators actively promote this through routine, one-on-one interactions, and by demonstrating affection, empathy, and respect to each child.

Routine holds a significant role in our Nursery Classroom, as adhering to a child's established routine fosters a sense of security and trust. Working in collaboration with our families, the Nursery Educators tailor their activities around each child's individual schedule, seamlessly integrating learning experiences and playtime with their rest and meal times.

Throughout the day, your child will engage in activities tailored to their specific learning needs and developmental stage. These activities encompass sensory play, musical sessions, outdoor exploration, artistic endeavours, storytelling, and meaningful one-on-one interactions with our dedicated and qualified Educators.

The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) emphasises the importance of language in cognitive development. By focusing on daily, intentional, one-on-one conversations between Educators and children, our Nursery strengthens the foundation of language acquisition and literacy skills. This fuels both critical thinking ability and a strong sense of curiosity and wonder for learning.

Additionally, our Nursery children have the opportunity to participate in enriching extracurricular lessons.

Between the ages of two and three, children's imagination and independence blossom as they embark on a journey of exploration and understanding of their world.

Our Toddlers kickstart their day with outdoor play guided by their own interests. This helps foster a connection with the natural environment and nurtures their innate sense of wonder and curiosity.

As they transition indoors to our classroom setting, our young learners engage in activities designed to enhance their fine motor skills, encouraging imaginative play and "make-believe" scenarios where they emulate everyday situations and practice newfound skills. Story time is a cherished activity for our Toddlers, nurturing their emerging listening skills.

Establishing independence is important in our Toddler Classrooms. Our Educators facilitate experiences that empower children to develop vital self-help skills, fostering a sense of independence and self-reliance.

At this stage, our Toddler children's social skills flourish as they form their first friendships with peers. Regular group gatherings and collaborative play based on shared interests, create a sense of belonging and community among them.

Our Educators engage with each Toddler in conversational reading, learning games, language priority, and enriched caregiving. These interactions from The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) provide abundant opportunities for children to build a strong language foundation, enhancing their cognitive, social, emotional, and linguistic development.

In addition to these enriching experiences, our Toddler children eagerly participate in weekly scheduled incursions and extracurricular activities. These adventures introduce them to new environments and experiences, fosters connections within our community and expands on their classroom learning.

In our older classrooms, we prioritise a structured daily routine. This approach lends to consistency in the children’s day-to-day activities, equipping them with crucial skills for a seamless transition to school. These skills encompass literacy, numeracy, and fine motor abilities.

Within the framework of the routine, we actively encourage children to express their unique individuality. We do this by empowering them to embrace their natural learning styles and nurture their interests through play. Group activities play a pivotal role in fostering a sense of belonging, nurturing teamwork skills, and facilitating interactions with their peers.

Our commitment to enriching the learning experience extends far beyond the classroom walls. We seamlessly incorporate daily incursions and extracurricular activities into our curriculum, further enhancing the children's educational journey. Through our weekly scheduled activities, children actively engage with the community, elevating their learning experiences. These extracurricular activities may encompass fitness classes to promote physical development, yoga lessons to encourage balance and mindfulness, language lessons to enhance communication skills, and even hands-on cooking and gardening lessons, providing a comprehensive and well-rounded educational experience.

In our Pre-Kindy setting, we're excited to incorporate the proven benefits of The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) for our older children, shaping a structured yet thoroughly engaging educational environment. This approach enriches our structured daily routine, turning every interaction into an opportunity for cognitive, language, and psychosocial development. As each child exerts their individuality in learning, the 3a strategy taps into their unique style, promoting substantial literacy, numeracy, and fine motor skills progress.

To facilitate this transition, our Kindergarten Teachers arrange several visits to local schools, allowing the children to become familiar with the primary school environment. These visits help ease the transition process and provide children with a sense of confidence and comfort.

As the Kindergarten year nears its end, we schedule a formal discussion that serves as an essential opportunity for families and Educators to collaborate. During this discussion, valuable information is shared, and together, we work to support each child's successful transition to school. This collaborative effort results in the creation of a transition statement, summarizing each child's learning journey and accomplishments throughout the kindergarten year.

When we prepare for school transition, the Abecedarian Approach is instrumental — not just in the visits to local schools but in discussions that create our transition statement. We consider each child's journey and accomplishments throughout the year, using the 3a approach to inform our understanding of their growth, strengths, and areas to support in ensuing academic transitions.

Our overarching goal is to ensure that by the conclusion of the Kindergarten Program, each child possesses the skills and knowledge necessary for a seamless and successful transition into the formal school environment.
