Paradise Kids Children's Centre

During the nursery stage, infants and young toddlers are in the early stages of their development. Our primary focus at this stage is to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Our Educators prioritise building secure attachments with each child, fostering a sense of trust and emotional security. We will collaborate with the families to build shared knowledge of their child to resemble home routines. Activities often focus on sensory exploration, fine and gross motor development, language acquisition, and social interaction.

The Toddler stage is a time of rapid growth and exploration. Children at this age are developing their independence, language skills, and social abilities. We will aim towards fostering self-help skills, promoting language development, and encouraging social interactions through a play based approach towards learning to maximise your child's development. Activities may include imaginative play, early literacy and numeracy experiences, sensory exploration, and physical activities that enhance coordination and motor skills.

The Junior stage is a time of further growth and development. In keeping with their growing needs for learning and growth, The Junior Room provides children with diverse learning opportunities offering open-ended involvement and questions, encouraging children to discover the excitement of 'how and why' things happen, enabling them to use resources and imaginations to investigate and discover. We look at ways of further embedding self-help skills, promoting a wider language development range, and encouraging stronger connections through social interactions and play. Activities may include imaginative play, literacy and numeracy experiences, sensory exploration, problem-solving abilities, promoting emotional regulation and physical activities that enhance coordination and motor skills.

The pre-kindergarten stage marks a significant period of cognitive, social, and emotional development. Children in this stage are curious, eager to learn, and ready to engage in more structured activities. In keeping with their needs, we focus on self-dependence skills, emotional regulation, fine and gross motor skills, fostering problem solving skills and encourage and support all individuals who show an interest in early literacy and numeracy development. The room is equipped with age appropriate areas and resources with the children's learning visible within the room. The Program reflects the children's interests and development.

Kindergarten is the final stage before children transition to formal schooling. At this stage, children have developed foundational skills and are ready for more structured learning experiences. We focus on aligning our programs with the early years of schooling, focusing on preparing children for a successful transition. Our Kindergarten offers vibrant spaces to suit the interests of the age group where children develop a sense of mastery through achievements in cognitive, social and motor skills in preparation for the school years ahead. Our Early Childhood Teacher together with her Assistants will emphasise on further developing literacy and numeracy skills, fostering critical thinking, promoting social skills, and encouraging independence and self-regulation. Activities may include phonics and reading instruction, basic math concepts, problem-solving tasks, science exploration, creative arts, and collaborative projects.
