Nursery<br />
Our Nursery provides a peaceful<br />
and nurturing environment for your<br />
0-18 month old child. Our high<br />
teacher to child ratio ensures your<br />
baby receives full attention and<br />
individual care consistently each<br />
day. An inspiring environment<br />
offers a range of safe equipment<br />
and activities are provided that<br />
allows babies to explore, excite,<br />
discover, stimulate and experiment through their sensory play. Importance<br />
is placed on creating a strong bond between teacher, baby and<br />
environment. A primary care-giving system enhances this importance.<br />

children aged between 18<br />
months and 2-year-old children<br />

Preschool<br />
Our Preschool learning<br />
programmes are designed to<br />
support children aged 3 to 5<br />
years old as they discover who<br />
they are so that they can learn<br />
to express their own opinions and<br />
nurturing ideas. Our environment<br />
offers stimulating, challenging<br />
and accessible resources that<br />
are inviting and aesthetic to the child. This specially created environment<br />
entices the child to explore, discover, manipulate and learn. The resources<br />
and materials offered represent a wide curriculum, including literacy,<br />
numeracy, science, computer, technology, geography, music, drama,<br />
practical art, art appreciation, and physical.<br />

specifically designed environment<br />
set within the centre designed for<br />
children over 3 years.<br />

diverse learning approaches of each child. We are able to provide an<br />
educationally, creative and evolving curriculum supported by the following<br />
curriculum areas in which each child is able to choose freely from; literacy,<br />
numeracy, visual arts, music and movement, study of science, computer<br />
and technology, geography, cultural skills, study of topics, physical<br />
education, health and safety.<br />

part in your child’s life<br />

Our Programme / Curriculum<br />
Heathcote Valley Preschools’ programme is inspired by the Reggio Emilia<br />
philosophy. The Reggio Emilia philosophy views every child as strong and<br />
competent and encourages us to embrace each child's strengths, interests and<br />
differences through documentation of their thoughts, ideas, theories and learning<br />
processes. The documentation of these aspects gives the child a feeling of<br />
empowerment and a sense of pride in them selves as capable of constructing<br />
their own knowledge.<br />
