Our Educational Programs

FROM BIRTH TO SCHOOL

Our educators deeply care for children and love to watch them grow from babies to "big kids."

We have many programs that enhance the learning experience of our children and make childcare fun.

Winston Mall Children's Centre is divided into 3 age-based rooms - Joeys, Wallabies and Kangaroos - to cater for all needs and learning stages of the children.

As the children develop their skills they will progress through the rooms and eventually be ready to move onto indpendent learning at primary school.

OUR CURRICULUM

Our curriculum is approved by ACECQA and follows the Australian guidelines.

The program follows the National Quality Framework (NQF) and WMCC received a "Meeting Expectations" rating in 2014, validating our service as compliant with all childcare guidelines.

Our compliance is always improving and we are striving for "Exceeding Expectations" at the next review.

OUTDOOR LEARNING

In 2018, WMCC invested in a custom designed outdoor learning space for the children.

The new area is a unique asset to the centre and was funded by a government grant.

It offers an understanding of sustainability, nature, Indigenous culture and sensory learning to encompass a multitude of learning experiences for the little ones.

The completely refurbished space includes a state of the art:

mudpit

sandpit

totem poles

water tank

play boat

natural stepping stones

garden beds

wind chimes

cubby house

a sensory path of different textures

OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

WMCC understands that children thrive on a fun environment.

Activities are fun and educational.
