Taking time out to unwind and relax is great for children’s mental health and overall wellbeing. The children will participate in yoga, deep breathing, and meditation exercises to support their ability to self-regulate and practice mindfulness.
Mini Masterchefs
Our on-site qualified Chef and team of Educators work together to enable children to contribute and learn about healthy food practises and enjoy nurturing their bodies with healthy, yummy food.
Second Language Program
In consultation with our families, we choose an additional language to learn throughout our week. Learning a second language has been shown to improve children’s cognitive abilities, including concentration, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
School Readiness Pre-School Program
Whilst school-readiness starts from when children begin with us at Nurtured Beginnings, we have a dedicated program for our 4-5-year-olds heading to “big school” the following year.
We cover everything from social and emotional wellbeing, conflict resolution, care of belongings, as well as literacy, numeracy, phonics, and basic writing skills.
Excursions and Incursions
We have a strong connection with our local community and love taking a walk around our area. Children will go to the Fire Station, Police Station, and Library, as well as trips to the local shops, parks or supermarkets.
We also value our visitors to the centre and will organise incursions from services such as reptile shows, petting zoos and other in house educational services.
