Being and becoming
Two-year-olds are working out how to be part of a group — how to share, take turns, express big feelings and bounce back. Our 2 to 3 years program gives them the support and the space to practise all of it.
Educators celebrate each child’s personality while gently building resilience and independence.
The environment encourages exploration, imagination and creativity: dramatic play, construction, art, sensory experiences and plenty of time outdoors.

Questions from families
Not quite. This is the year before our funded 3 year old kindergarten. It builds the social and self-help foundations that make kinder a success.
We staff to meet or better the Victorian ratio of one educator to five children for children under three.
Not at all. Many children in this room are still learning. We partner with you and follow your child’s pace.
With predictable routines, a consistent key educator, comfort items from home and honest, frequent updates to you during the day.
