Our Learning Journey Curriculum is designed to be emergent in nature and is guided by the children's interests and incorporates their voice in decision making of experiences provided in our indoor and outdoor environments. We run a fully accredited kindergarten program and have a local community connection to build strong relationships. We provide early learning and care for children from infancy (6 weeks) through to kindergarten age (6 years).
