We partner with you to provide a safe, quality, family-centred learning environment where every child is respected and nurtured. We continually develop our skills and explore new ways to enrich your child’s early learning experience.
Indoor and outdoor play based experiences are an integral part of our program. Educators plan a diverse range of experiences to create opportunities for your child in both structured and spontaneous play.
Our programs are inspired by the wisdom and teachings of early childhood theorists and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and aim to develop children’s emotional, social and cognitive intelligence.
The Kindergarten curriculum continues to emphasise play based learning, however offers additional intentional learning times where the focus is on literacy and numeracy, socialisation, self-regulation and independence.
What led you to a career in the childcare industry?
My love and passion for wanting to play an active role in children’s learning journey along with their families and the community.
What are your favourite memories within the workspace?
Children learning about the different ways in which families celebrate Christmas. It was so heart warming to hear them share their stories, listen to other stories and watch the learning and joy happen there and then.
Who Inspires you and why?
I am inspired by my co-workers and peers as there is always something new to learn from others. We are in this together and for the children which is something my team clearly shows.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about assisting children to grow into confident, inclusive, happy, challenged and resilient people on a holistic level who are happy within themselves.
What type of leadership style do you have?
Overall I lead by lead by example. Ensuring I practice what I preach and also to ensure that I am firm but fair with all educators. I like to take in all information before making decisions and also know that everyone acts and reacts in different ways.
What makes your service such an amazing service?
The relationships that we have with the families, children and communities. It is a home away from home and a place to feel safe, have fun with a lot of learning along the way.
What are your goals for the service over the next 12 months?
To have a service that continues to be full of life, learning, a team environment and full of passion for learning and fun. This will also in turn ensure a high occupancy and being a part of the greater community.
A new kitchen servery is dishing up home cooked goodies and sport is back at the service this week with Phil and Zoe from Little Sport Heroes – find out how they focus on large muscle movement..
Yoga helps strengthen growing bodies through improving flexibility, gross motor strength, and agility. Silent yoga helps with eye contact and focus and was the best class yet!
Did you know that children begin to develop cause-and-effect thinking skills as early as eight months of age? The children at Black Rock took the opportunity to experiment with the concept of cause-and-effect.
Our centre welcomes families from surrounding suburbs including Sandringham, Beaumaris, Mentone and Hampton. We offer a state-of-the-art facility boasting beautifully renovated environments, spacious play areas, and modern educational materials.
Our aim is to provide a secure and happy environment where children can develop their intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and language skills to become competent and confident individuals. And for you to feel safe knowing that your child is receiving the best possible care.
We are situated in Black Rock North, nestled between the Sandringham Hospital, Tjilatjirrin Reserve, the Sandringham Golf Links. And a stones throw from the beautiful Bayside Beaches where you’ll sometimes find us going on a beach kinder excursion.
