Centre Based Care

Pippi (2–4 years)

Supporting growing independence

The Pippi room educators focus on supporting toddlers and preschoolers to follow their emerging ideas and interests through play.

We provide many open-ended, exploratory and sensory resources and experiences that encourage children to use their imaginations, experiment, and use trial and error to discover how things work.

Building confidence and social skills

Learning for this age group is closely linked to their developing sense of autonomy and emphasises self-help and social skills.

This includes taking care of their bodies and belongings, making and keeping friends, communicating their needs, sharing information, and using communication and the joy of shared play moments to establish relationships with educators and peers.

Pelican preschool group

The Pelican Preschool Group extends early literacy, numeracy and creative experiences through play-based learning.

Children begin the group with an Acknowledgement of Country, greet one another as they sing the Jingi Walah song, and share ideas and suggestions for learning within the group.

Learning through play

Our daily program is shaped by children’s interests and encourages curiosity, exploration, and creativity.

Through a balance of open-ended experiences and guided learning, children are supported to build confidence, develop relationships, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
