Our childcare difference
Early learning environment
Our early childhood learning environment has been designed by award winning architects. Our centres are fitted out with high quality finishes and resources to provide a premium experience for Aurrum Kids to learn, play and grow.
Convenience for families
Aurrum Kids is all about convenience for families. Not only do we care for your children, we care for you too. Planning, partnerships and services for families are key considerations for us when selecting locations for Aurrum Kids childcare centres.
Intergenerational learning program
We are incredibly proud of our close ties to Aurrum Aged Care and the opportunities this provides to establish our Grandfriends intergenerational program across all Aurrum Kids centres.
Our childcare program
Early childhood education
A child’s earliest years set the foundations for their entire life.
At Aurrum Kids, we closely follow the Early Years Learning Framework within our play based curriculum. This style of education emphasises the importance of instilling positive lifelong habits into our young learners by supporting their growing independence and natural curiosity. To better cater to the diverse needs of children, we tailor our Early Years Learning Framework according to age groups.
Nursery (0-2 years)
The nurseries at Aurrum Kids are beautifully designed to provide babies and infants with a peaceful environment that fully supports their sleep schedule. Our nursery educators take an open approach when it comes to providing children between 0-2 years of age with personalised and flexible learning experiences.
Toddlers (2-3 years)
The toddler years are an exciting time in your child’s life as they begin to exercise their independence and take a more proactive role when interacting with their surroundings. During the toddler years, our childcare team focuses on developing the confidence, problem-solving skills and curiosity of our burgeoning learners by offering safe and stimulating indoor and outdoor activities.
Preschool (4-5 years)
When your child reaches preschool age, they are constantly seeking out new information about the world, while also discovering the unique role that they play within it. To support their natural appetite for learning, our educators provide preschool-aged children with fun, engaging educational opportunities that encompass everything from literacy and numeracy to social engagement and emotional development. All of this helps to ease the transition from childcare into formal schooling.
Nutrition
At Aurrum Kids, we are passionate about the health and wellbeing of our little people. Our childcare nutrition program is reviewed by our partner paediatric dieticians to guarantee that we are properly fuelling your child’s mind and body. With fresh and organic ingredients – some of which are even harvested by the children in their on-site kitchen gardens, our meals encourage kids to enjoy healthy and balanced eating.
