Program Details

The program offers:

• A supportive and enriching environment that develops each child's emotional wellbeing, social skills, and independence.
• Opportunities for pretend play, musical experiences, foundational maths, language and literacy, and physical development.
• Group care with a staff-child ratio of one to three.

Objectives

The program aims to:

• Create a calm, safe, and nurturing environment in the nursery.
• Provide positive opportunities for learning and time for sensitive and social engagement.
• Foster a sense of community that the nursery team cultivates in its daily engagement with the children.

Family Involvement

Families and staff need to communicate openly and regularly to ensure:

• Your child's emotional and care needs are met.
• Plans can be made for your child's growth, development, and education.
• Infants, as curious and active explorers, are well supported while their need for investigative and experimental learning is emerging.

• Other programs for older children (2-3 years, 3-5 years, and outdoor programs).
• Opportunities for connecting with the university community.
• Resources and publications for families, students, academics, and educators.
