For over 20 years, Uniting Kids Care Early Learning Springwood has supported families in their community with education and childcare, including a preschool program. They are open long hours for children from two to five years.
Conveniently located near leafy Buttenshaw Park and in the spacious grounds of the Springwood Uniting Church, their service offers warm and welcoming indoor learning spaces and stimulating outdoor environments that are designed to inspire and engage. They value every child as an individual with a unique personality, interests and needs, so they can best help them to unlock and achieve their potential while enjoying their time in their care.
Care for toddlers: safe, nurturing and reassuring
Their care-based approach to very young children helps establish the building blocks for learning using play, singing, touch and reading to encourage their communication, physical development and social and emotional skills.
Along with feeding, sleeping and change time, these reassuring interactions and routines provide important learning experiences that nurture the cognitive development, communication and social skills that meaningfully contribute to your child’s wellbeing, character and future achievement.
Preschool program: developing a love of learning
Through open-ended play and structured activities, their preschool program teaches your child the essential skill of learning that will meaningfully help them in their transition to ‘big school’, and far beyond.
They involve your child in tailoring their own learning experience with stimulus that’s relevant to their interests, abilities, ideas and personality. By inspiring their creativity and self-expression, they pave the way for ongoing literacy, numeracy, problem-solving and language development.
The positive, rewarding interactions with their staff and other children enhance the social and communication skills that will evolve them into a confident, thoughtful and well-rounded individual.
