Community Kids Greenacres Early Education Centre

Community Kids Greenacres is designed to be a home away from home that encourages every child’s exploration. Our early learning environments have been carefully designed to immerse your child into a world of exploration, curiosity, and learning.  

Each learning space extends onto our beautiful outdoor environment, which encourages endless ways and opportunities for play! Our outdoor play spaces include a bike track, climbing fort and a vegetable garden. We offer purpose-built indoor spaces including interactive whiteboards and natural resources designed to encourage exploration and learning.

Our team of passionate educators make up the heart of the child care centre. Our experienced educators are passionate about helping every child succeed in discovering their identity and become confident, happy and resilient learners. We are a multicultural early learning centre with several languages being spoken across our team including Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, Gujarati, Bengali and Sinhala. We are a small centre, so all educators know all the children and families.

Play is essential to every child's learning and development. It enables children to make decisions, learn, take risks, and have fun. At our Greenacres child care centre, our experienced team plan play-based learning activities in line with national standards. The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is designed to engage in your child’s interests and allow them to experience each day in a new way, supporting their learning in the lead-up to primary school.  

Our Early Learning Curriculum also provides children with:

• Real Life experiences: Children participate in fun and exciting experiences such as woodworking, harvesting the veggie garden, caring for our worm farm and basic cooking skills. 

• Sustainability Program: Each age group participates in a sustainability project that help children embed sustainable practices into everyday life. Children learn about recycling, conserving water, growing food and the importance of looking after and protecting our planet. 

• Music and movement programs: Our music programs have been designed to help develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory and concentration.  

• Community engagement activities: We have excursions to our local park, local library and shopping centre to assist our kindergarten children with their transition to "big school". 

We provide children with nutrient-rich, fresh, and seasonal whole foods created to please even the fussiest of eaters. For variety, our menu rotates with the seasons, with our cook catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child.  

Here at Community Kids Greenacres, we believe that by encouraging active participation in food preparation (such as growing & harvesting the fruit and vegetables, preparing, and helping cook the meal) - children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
