What Do The Children Do?
Our trained staff provide a child centred, free play environment where  children learn and play together.
The core programme is offered at all times of the day.  This includes : blocks, puzzles, books, dough, family/dramatic play, music and movement, painting, collage, science, constructive, natural materials, puppets, carpentry, sand, water, junk, climbing equipment, balls, obstacle courses,  group time regular routines etc.

Centre activities include both active and quiet, planned and spontaneous, small group and individual activities, both in and out of doors, with children able to make choices about the degree, type and manner of their 
participation. We provide creative activities where individual expression is 
encouraged.  A structured ’group time’ is provided before morning and afternoon tea, when children enjoy music and movement, stories, chants and other literary activities.


Flying Start Programme
The older children are involved in an extension programme designed to help children learn the physical, social skills and independence necessary for a successful entry to school. Activities help children develop concepts related to science, reading, writing, maths and vocabulary skills. They will know how to make choices, hold a pencil correctly, and pay attention to the teacher.
