At Dot Kids Greenmeadows, we provide a setting where children and families feel welcomed and know they have a place within our centres.
We have an onsite cook who provides nutritious, warm cooked meals for both the Nursery and the Preschool each day, which are well balanced to ensure children receive good nutrition throughout the day.
Our nursery provides a warm and safe environment for children from birth to 3 years.
We strongly believe that children need teachers who are passionate, caring, loving and responsive adults, confident in their abilities and respond appropriately to children’s needs through child initiated learning.
Our goal is to provide a safe, caring, positive and high quality educational environment.
We value and respect the richness of individual learning styles by educators ‘noticing’, ‘recognising’ and ‘responding’ to children’s interests, strengths, likes and dislikes. We foster thinking and problem-solving, exploring, communicating and co-constructing with others. Listening is valued and taking challenges builds on a child’s known competence.
All children are encouraged to find answers out for themselves, to problem solve and inquire. Play is child-initiated and teachers listen with their eyes and ears providing support and guidance through research and nurturing.
Our preschool centre offers age specific activities that are designed around developmental stages.
The programme supports independence, group and individual learning experiences. We have a strong focus on assisting children in discovering who they are, so that they can learn to express their own opinions and nurture their ideas.
Our preschool learning programme is designed to encourage children to new levels, preparing them for the next important stage in their life (primary school).
Programmes are planned by careful observation of the child’s interaction with the environment as this reveals what is individually appropriate for each child.
We provide stimulating, challenging and accessible materials that are inviting and aesthetic to your child. This specially created environment entices children to explore, discover, manipulate and learn.
We place a high value on our ability to improvise and respond to children’s pre-disposition to enjoy the unexpected.
