Taree Nursery/Toddler Room

This cozy and inviting space is to welcome children aged from 6 weeks to 3 years of age.

This may be your babies first transition from home to care and that is a pretty big deal for everyone in the family. We aim to make our nursery feel like a home environment so your baby feels comfortable and settles in nicely. Families are welcome to spend time with their baby to help settle them in and get to meet our educators during the orientation process.

We ask families a range of questions around the routine of your family and your baby so we can help with a smooth transition into care. Your babies routine is visible so that you and your babies educators can frequently discuss any changes has they grow, from breastfeeding, formula and cows milk as well as starting solids, purees or a change in sleeping patterns. 

Sheets are provided at our centre and are strictly for your babies days they attend. Sheets and blankets are removed on their last attending day of the week and replaced with clean bedding for the following week. Above your babies cot will be a little sign to remind each educator the best way your baby likes to sleep, this might involve rocking, patting, a comforter, dummy or special soft toy from home. 

We provide all meals at our centre depending on their needs. Our cook will provide smooth and chunky purees on site with a mix of fruits and vegetables for a varied diet. We ask families to provide their own formula but we provide cows milk for older children. 

In between the day to day routine educators and babies will spend time often engaged in reading, singing, floor activities and outside play so that strong attachments between the educator and babies can develop. We understand the importance of choosing a centre for your baby and leaving them in our care. There is a deep level of trust required and we encourage daily conversations to help build strong relationships for all.

We look forward meeting your family!This cozy and inviting space is to welcome children aged from 6 weeks to 2 years old.
 

Our Toddlers

There is so much growth during the toddler age, in both body and mind. You will begin to notice more physical development, the need to try and run, hop and climb. You'll also hear more mimicking of sounds and attempts at more communication with themselves, family and peers.

Toddlers will be encouraged to become more independent through the day to day routine, this is something they often strive for too. Learning to use utensils for self -feeding, putting on their own sunscreen, trying to put their shoes and even showing interest in toilet training. Our toddlers are given plenty of opportunities and time to achieve their own goals.

There are activities and learning opportunities for educators to role model social play within their peer group to help toddlers with their social development. There are a lot of big feelings that they start to feel at this age and social opportunities can allow for emotional development to grow too. 

There is a strong focus on literacy through songs, stories and the arts in the day to day routine. The more opportunities toddlers have to listen and engage with literacy rich experiences, will assist with their desire to start verbally communicating their needs and interests as well as with those around them.
