We feature a dedicated outdoor play area, offering unique elements such as a sandpit, garden area, bike track, and vegetable patch. These spaces provide ample room for self-directed play and creativity. Indoors, our age-based spaces are designed to foster children’s learning and growth, emphasising safety and natural elements. Planned excursions and activities connect our children with the local community, building on their interests and learning.
Our program instils a sense of responsibility by inviting children to be active community members – taking responsibility for ourselves, our belongings, each other, and our world. We encourage philanthropy and have an active partnership with The Smith Family. Encompasses sustainability, focuses on nature and our connection to the earth and the environment. The program is the birth idea of a group of parents, educators and healthcare professionals who bring to early education a new model of dedication to nurturing and supporting life long, curious learners in a stimulating, “home away from home’ environment. Each child learns to love learning and gaining Knowledge, where Kindness becomes the heartbeat of every gesture, and where recognition of the smallest achievements is celebrated (Kudos). The name derives from the word eduKare, Latin for education.
Preschool (3-5 year olds):
In a co-operative and non-competitive environment, the 3- to 5-year-old, experiences the joy of learning and acquires real self-discipline. We focus on each individual child and prepare the environment carefully, according to their interests, so that with the right guidance, your child can be free to explore and experiment with their world. Spontaneous activity and play in a respectful environment will foster independence and develop your child’s social skill repertoire.
Toddler (2-3 year olds):
Movement is at the very centre of life at the toddler stage of development. Your child will be involved in the exciting task of learning to move efficiently in their world. Movement, aids discovery – it reinforces a variety of perceptual motor and academic concepts. The strong correlation between movement and brain development is central to the activities we choose to place in our toddler environment for the children.
Nursery (0-2 year olds):
Our children are provided with a cosy, warm and nurturing atmosphere that is calm and mirrors characteristics of a usual home environment. The layout of our centre helps each child to feel secure. All your child’s requirements are catered for with designated areas for play, sleeping, active time, nutritious meals and physical care such as toileting and nappy changing.
