Our innovative approach to education and learning fosters children becoming independent learners in a well-supported and encouraging environment. This will ensure that your child will have the skills necessary to transition through their educational journey and be equipped for our ever changing fast paced world.   

At the Early Learning Hub we acknowledge the culture and history of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, especially the Dharawal and Gundungurra people, who are the traditional owners of the land in which our service is situated.

Our innovative approach to education and learning fosters children becoming independent learners in a well-supported and encouraging environment. This will ensure that children will have the skills necessary to transition into their educational journey and be equipped for our ever changing fast paced world. Our philosophy is built around engaging children in real life learning experiences based around STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in a sustainable environment to foster lifelong learning and enrich children’s awareness and appreciation of their environment.

We feel it is vital to immerse children in activities to drive their future passion for exploration and learning in life. Our creative natural play based learning approach and strong emphasis on incorporating innovative STEM based technologies will engage children in higher order thinking and encourage ongoing exploration through the design process. We offer a safe environment of high quality standards and incorporate the Early Years Learning Framework into our curriculum.

Our curriculum is developed in a way that is gender neutral, inclusive and shows no bias, offers multiculturalism and shows diversity as equal value. We offer full inclusion of all children and their families and provide honest open communication. We respect their rights and opinions and encourage them to become involved in the development and delivery of our unique educational program. Our children are encouraged to express themselves through creative and performing arts, a core aspect in their learning and development, nurturing imagination, exploration, developing problem solving, creative thinking and motor skills.

natural outdoor environment.

Our natural outdoor learning environment promotes play based learning and measured risk taking within a mixed-age sustainable natural environment. Our children have the opportunity to grow, care and cook using herbs, vegetables and fruit from our gardens through cooking experiences and our outdoor fire pit. Studies have shown children who grow their own food are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables and show higher levels of knowledge about nutrition (Waliczek, & Zajicek, 2006). They are also more likely to continue healthy eating habits throughout their lives (Morris & Zidenberg-Cherr, 2002).

nutritious meals @ warhol café.

The Warhol Café is an onsite service that provides all nutritious meals whilst the children are in attendance. All food catered for is of high nutritional standard in accordance with Australian Dietary Guidelines, Get up and Grow: Healthy Eating and Physical Activity for Early Childhood, Menu Planning Guidelines for Long Care and Food Standards Australia. All food catered for is cooked onsite by our cooks who develop a strong connection with all our children.

Our menus are guided by Munch and Move to ensure all five core food groups are met. Our daily menus are on display outside the Café for parents and children to view. Some of the lunch meals provided are Tacos, BBQ Chicken Stir Fry, Mexican Beef and Spaghetti Bolognese. Our four weekly rotating menus are available to view outside the Warhol Cafe.

Families of children who are taking milk as part of their daily intake are required to provide their child’s individual formula/breast milk and bottles for each day. If children have a dietary requirement, intolerance or allergy our cook will provide a meal that caters for the specific dietary requirement.

We love to celebrate special occasions, when our children celebrate their birthdays we celebrate with them! The Warhol Café provides the birthday child, their friends and educators cupcakes to share after they sing happy birthday. Special moments like these are shared with our families on our app Kinderm8.
