Centre Highlights
Our child care centre in Frenchs Forest is designed to be a home away from home that encourages every child’s exploration. Our state-of-the-art, resource-rich early learning environments includes a dedicated art studio, library, STEM room, and a yoga room, and have been carefully designed to immerse your child into a world of exploration, curiosity, and learning.
In our Frenchs Forest centre, each learning space extends onto our beautiful outdoor environment, which encourages endless opportunities for play! Our outdoor environments include cubby houses, slides, sandpits, a rainbow bike track, a water play area and a vegetable garden for children to safely develop their strength, balance, and self-confidence through play-based learning.
Our team of passionate educators make up the heart of our Frenchs Forest early learning centre. We know each child has unique talents and interests. Our experienced educators are passionate about helping every child succeed in discovering their identity and become confident, happy, and resilient learners.
Play is essential to every child's learning and development. It enables children to make decisions, learn, take risks, and have fun. At our Frenchs Forest child care centre, our experienced team of educators and teachers plan play-based learning activities in line with national standards. The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is designed to engage in your child’s interests and allow them to experience each day in a new way, supporting their learning in the lead-up to primary school.
Our Early Learning Curriculum also provides children with:
- Real Life experiences: Children participate in fun and exciting experiences such as woodworking, harvesting the veggie garden and basic cooking skills.
- Sustainability Program: Each age group in our child care centre participates in a sustainability project that help children embed sustainable practices into everyday life. Children learn about recycling, conserving water, growing food and the importance of looking after and protecting our planet.
- Movement program: Our movement programs have been designed to help develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration.
- Community engagement activities: Our child care centre often has visits from local community guests and emergency services in Frenchs Forest to help familiarise the children with their local community. We also have excursions to our local businesses such as Wizzy World Play Centre and to our local kids’ gym ‘My First Gym’.
Our early learning centre provides children with nutrient-rich, fresh and seasonal whole foods that meet the requirements of NSW Health's initiative "Munch and Move". For variety, our menu is seasonal, with our chef catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child.
Here at our Frenchs Forest child care centre, we believe that by encouraging active participation in food preparation (such as growing & harvesting the fruit and vegetables, preparing, and helping cook the meal) - children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
For added convenience, we also offer our families a grab-and-go breakfast snack and coffee.
We look forward to partnering with you and your family to provide information, support, and high-quality early education and care in your child’s formative years.
