Age Groups
Nursery
6 weeks - 15 months
During the nursery stage, infants and young toddlers are in the early stages of their development. The focus of a childcare centre in this stage is primarily on providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Our team prioritise building secure attachments with each child, fostering a sense of trust and emotional security. Activities often focus on sensory exploration, fine and gross motor development, language acquisition, and social interaction.
Toddler 1
15 - 24 months
In our two Toddler Rooms, we understand that the toddler stage is a time of rapid growth and exploration. Children at this age are developing their independence, language skills, and social abilities. At Mayfield, our focus shifts towards fostering self-help skills, promoting language development, and encouraging social interactions and play. Our activities are thoughtfully designed to include imaginative play, early literacy and numeracy experiences, sensory exploration, and physical activities that enhance coordination and motor skills. We provide a nurturing environment where toddlers can thrive and make progress, all while having fun and building a strong foundation for their future learning
Pre-Kinder
2.5 - 4 years
In our Pre-Kinderroom, we recognize that this stage marks a crucial period of cognitive, social, and emotional development. Here, your child's natural curiosity is nurtured, and they're eager to engage in structured activities. At Mayfield, we focus on developing early literacy and numeracy skills, fostering problem-solving abilities, and promoting social-emotional development. Our aim is to provide a well-rounded experience that prepares your child for their educational journey ahead.
Kindergarten
3.5 - 5 years
In our Kindergarten program, the final stage before formal schooling, children have already developed foundational skills and are eager for more structured learning experiences. Our center aligns its programs with the early years of schooling, with a strong focus on preparing children for a smooth transition. We emphasize the further development of literacy and numeracy skills, nurturing critical thinking, promoting social skills, and encouraging independence and self-regulation. Our goal is to ensure that your child is well-prepared for the exciting journey ahead in their educational path.

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide most of the essentials that may be needed throughout the day. We ask that you pack and label; spare clothes, water bottle, comfort items/dummies. And if your child requires a sleeping bag, milk bottles, formula, or breast milk.
We offer orientation sessions for families to come along before the first day to have a short play with us. These sessions are usually close to the first day and act as a good lead in. It gives you, your child, and the educators time to get to know each other and the opportunity to ask any questions or provide important information. These sessions are usually organized once enrolment is confirmed, they last for 2 hours and are free of charge. Talking about it at home is also a great way to get your child excited for all the amazing experiences they will get to be a part of.
Be positive! Make the drop off a happy experience and take a few minutes to help your child to settle in. The mornings can be busy, but taking some time to find an activity your child enjoys and saying goodbye can help for a smoother start to their day. There will always be a warm and caring educator on hand to help. You are always welcome to give the centre a call after you have left for an update.
The educator to child ratio varies depending on state and territory, we meet or exceed this ratio. 0 to 24 months the ratio is 1:4 in all states and territories. 24 to 36 months the ratio is 1:5 in QLD and SA, and 1:4 in VIC. Over 36 months the ratio is 1:11 in QLD, SA and VIC. You can find out more on the ACECQA website.
It is important to take the time to find a centre where you feel confident and comfortable and know your child will be safe, happy, and protected. Find a centre that provides a learning environment where careful guidance and role modelling by educators can help children become competent, independent and develop valuable life skills. It is also important to consider aspects that will impact your family such as location, cost, and inclusions.
All Mayfield Early Education centres aim to meet or exceed the National Quality Standards and Regulatory requirements of an early childhood service.

Reviews
Friendly staff, always communicating on how my daughter's afternoon was, from the time they pick her up from school, to when i pick her up, she loves coming to care for before school and after school. The parents app is a great way to be informed about my child's morning and afternoon events and activities.
