Why Choose Us
Our Class Programme
Under ones and toddlers operate as individuals and need to feel loved and nurtured. Babies and young toddlers experience strong emotions but they express themselves through their actions and body language. They are, as yet, unable to put those feelings into words. Our educators help them on this particular journey by offering them empathy.
We encourage children to have conversations and ask questions and support children’s emotional development by actively listening to build on their social skills. This age group loves hands on play materials and experiences, and we encourage them to take increasing initiative in choosing or creating play opportunities. It is important to encourage play, as that is how children learn, and for the educators to join in the play.
In the Platypus preschool room, we believe every child is entitled to a good education and this is fundamental to the success in laying the foundations to future learning. We endeavour to foster a “love and desire” for learning through hands-on meaningful play-based activities. The classroom and outdoor environment includes specific learning areas to promote imagination, creativity, language and literacy, cognitive and physical skills.
We provide a delivery and pick up service to local schools during school terms and a holiday programme during the school holidays. The children who attend Before & After school care have a programme based on the children’s voices and interests. They develop the programme in collaboration with their main Educator. The children have their own classroom and also have access to the outdoor playground.
We provide a holiday programme during the school holidays where children get to enjoy lots of activities such as; regular excursions, arts and crafts, cooking and more. Vacation care is an opportunity for your child to meet new friends, enjoy fun activities and socialise with other children. Meals are provided for the children who attend our vacation care programme.
Our Preschool Programme is designed to prepare your child for the transition to school. Our Preschool Programme focuses on a mixture of children learning through open ended play and structural learning. We have a qualified Early Childhood Teacher who will run the Programme, it will consist of Gross/fine motor skills, literacy, numeracy, science, dance, mandarin, excursions and violin.
