ELLA Program
ELLA (Early Learning Languages Australia) is a digital, play based language learning program for Kindy aged children that we will be offering in 2021 teaching Chinese, Mandarin.
Young children have the capacity to learn a second language very easily through immersion and play. Kindy aged children will have access to self paced learning via the use of a iPad daily as they build upon their knowledge and speech in Mandarin.
Buttercups has five beautifully appointed classrooms all with botanical names.
The Baby Room is known as the Poppy Room.
In this room we care and nurture babies with a staff ratio of 1 educator to every 4 babies. We also have a separate cot room in which the sleep times are recorded and the babies are checked every 10 minutes to ensure their safety and wellbeing. We work in partnership with families to maintain the routines that are currently embedded at home to ensure consistency of care and supporting your home routines.
The Wobbler Room is known as the Lavender Room.
This room caters for children with a ratio of 1 educator to every 4 children. The Lavender environment promotes exploration and building upon the children’s gross motor capabilities from both indoor climbing structures to our nature play outdoor yard.
