The Wonder Approach
Providing Enriching Learning Experiences that Build Communities
Connecting with our Families
We understand your desire to stay connected with your child and keep up to date with their learning and progress. The use of digital technologies should always enhance learning experiences, and never detract from the interactions between the educators and children.
Our focus is on providing authentic, one-one-one assessments on your child every six months in line with The Early Years Framework (2009). Relationships are at the core of everything we do. We use moments during drop off and pick up to keep you informed of your child’s day.
What Makes us Wonderful?
Enriching learning experiences that help build communities and provide opportunities for children to learn about their neighbourhood, including engagement with local businesses and local walks in the surrounding suburbs, which is a regular adventure at our centres in Canberra. We encourage families to explore our approach to quality care and early years learning framework tailored to each age group – infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
Parents are welcome to come in and share their own skills, such as music education or cultural experiences, with the children.
We are committed to do our part for the environment by utilising sustainable classrooms and teaching the children about responsibility and accountability. We have recycling programs in place along with composting, worm farms and limiting food wastage.
Creative arts are promoted and supported so your child will have opportunities to express themselves through music, movement, painting and sculpture.
All of our meals are made from scratch and cater to all children from our commercial kitchen. The menu is in keeping with Nutrition Australia and modified to meet our children’s dietary and cultural needs.
