Services
All our educators are highly trained and bring their wealth of experience to provide a nurturing environment for the children in their care. They have developed a holistic learning curriculum, that uses a play based approach to support and enhance learning. Mother Duck Child Care, Gaythorne is committed to building collaborative relationships with parents to provide the best experience for all children. We see each child as an individual and strive to encourage them to develop at their own pace, in their own unique way. We ensure that children maintain ongoing links with the community, by excursions and incursions. This includes working closely with the local library to provide literacy based opportunities that foster a love of reading and books. Our education programmes are designed to help children transition confidently and easily into primary school when they finish Kindergarten.

Our indoor space is designed to inspire, stimulate and relax the mind. Three spacious outdoor play areas offer plenty of shade with a sandpit and playground designed to extend children’s physical confidence. Younger children have a separate play area and we also have a garden to help the children maintain their connection with food as part of nature.

Grounds

Our grounds feature both natural and man-made resources, creating a connection between our indoor and outdoor environments. Where possible, we invite children to be involved with and contribute to our outdoor setups.

Including open spaces, a sandpit, and a large playground, our centre offers plenty of opportunities for children to build confidence in their physical abilities.

Communication

At Camelia Avenue Childcare Centre, we recognise that strong, positive connections with families can have excellent effects on a child’s early development. We value the involvement and participation of parents and caregivers in our little community.

Via our specialised app, parents can stay up-to-date about their child’s learning and progress. This app allows families to access their child’s portfolio, community posts, learning cycles, and other vital information. Every six months, we provide a summative assessment based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

Adeona believes that in order to create effective and authentic programs and practices, we first need to have a deep understanding of the holistic child. Through responsive, respectful and reciprocal relationships we are able to create an environment where children feel safe, secure and supported to learn. We believe the children should be agents in their own learning and have control over the environments, creating a life long love of learning.

We are located in a quiet leafy residential street in Ferny Hills. The playgrounds at Birralee are natural with grass, trees and sandpits in each play area, reminiscent of your own childhood experiences.

We are committed to teaching the children about caring for our environment with the use of water tanks for watering vegetable gardens, worm farms and composting. The children at Birralee are encouraged to spend time outdoors and enjoy tactile experiences.

The centre is fortunate to have long term staff members with very low staff turnover.

We believe the opportunities for children to play in an unhurried and relaxed environment is the best way for children to explore, learn and engage in meaningful experiences with adults and peers.
