A Day in the Life
Our daily schedule is designed to provide a balance of structure and flexibility, allowing children to develop independence while feeling secure in the predictability of their day. Each day includes time for individual work, group activities, outdoor play, meals, and rest.
8:00 AM – Montessori Work Cycle
Children begin the day with a three-hour Montessori session guided by trained educators. During this time:
- Children work independently using hands-on Montessori materials
- They enjoy progressive morning tea
- Participate in the Munch & Move physical activity program
This uninterrupted work cycle promotes focus, autonomy, and purposeful learning. Children are free to choose activities that interest them, working at their own pace and developing concentration and independence.
11:00 AM – Early Years Learning Framework
After Montessori time, we shift to the EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework), which includes:
- Group activities and guided learning
- Child-led exploration and interests
- Creative expression through play, projects, and collaboration
The EYLF complements our Montessori approach by emphasizing play-based learning, social interactions, and creative expression. This framework helps children develop a strong sense of identity, connection to their world, and confidence as learners.
Yoga & Mindfulness
Children have the option to participate in yoga sessions to support emotional and physical balance. Those who opt out continue with enriching activities suited to their interests.
Our yoga program is designed specifically for young children, incorporating playful poses,breathing exercises, and mindfulness activities that help develop body awareness, concentration, and emotional regulation skills.
Technology Time
Technology is integrated responsibly, offering children the opportunity to use educational software on laptops in short, guided sessions. We partner with Crayons Lane Cove to ensurehigh-quality, age-appropriate digital tools.
Our approach to technology emphasizes active rather than passive engagement, with carefully selected programs that support learning objectives and develop digital literacy skills while maintaining appropriate limits on screen time.
Family Participation
Parents are always welcome to participate and enrich our environment — whether it's storytelling, teaching a language, or sharing a cultural craft or recipe.
We believe that strong partnerships between families and educators create the best outcomes for children. We encourage family involvement through regular events, volunteer opportunities, and open communication channels that keep you connected to your child's learning journey.
