How we operate

Children are grouped according to age, needs and anticipated school entry year.

Guwing/Suns: 0-2 years (15 children to 5 educators)

Yanada/Moons: 2-3 Years (15 children to 4 educators)

Birrung/Stars: 3-5 Years (20 children to 3 educators)

We are proud of retaining long term and experienced educators. We have a mix of permanent and regular casual educators who provide relief for programming; breaks and ratios; and staff leave to ensure continuity of care for our children. We have a full time Director, Assistant Director and Educational Leader. Two Cooks and a part time Office Administrator.

Daily routine

Our days begin and end with family grouping, where all children are together to maintain ratio requirements. Each room has a different routine which takes into account the age and developmental stage of the children. All rooms run an indoor-outdoor program in the mornings until lunch time, which allows children to choose where they wish to play and learn. The children are given opportunities throughout the day for small and large group learning experiences. Breakfast, morning tea and afternoon tea are offered progressively. Children and educators come together in their rooms for a shared meal at lunch time.
