Buggles Child Care – Spearwood

In our nursery room, we are privileged to support your baby through their earliest milestones. From grasping and rolling to crawling and walking, our educators plan experiences that build fine motor, gross motor and balance skills. We work closely with each family to follow the individual routine they have established, offering continuity and comfort for your child.

Up until around 14 months, your child remains in the nursery room following their personalised routine. Once they begin climbing and showing signs of readiness, we will discuss transitioning them to a toddler bed and gradually support their move into the Toddler 1 room.

The educators in the Toddler 1 room are passionate about planning a range of developmentally appropriate activities to stimulate children’s fine and gross motor skills, as well as their communication and social skills. Daily experiences like singing rhymes, reading stories and playtime help children explore and learn in a safe, loving and nurturing environment.

All activities are open-ended and creative, giving children the freedom to explore and express themselves in their own way. We respect each child’s individuality and follow their unique routines and needs. We believe a thoughtful and engaging environment is key to supporting their development.

The Toddler 2 educators are passionate about supporting each child’s personality, independence and individuality. We focus on scaffolding children’s learning and interests through sensory play and arts and crafts, encouraging creativity and curiosity.

We also help children develop self-help skills, learn about numbers and colours, regulate their emotions and build social connections with peers. Toilet learning is available in this room and encouraged by educators to support both independence and a smooth transition into the Kindergarten room.

In the Kindergarten room, we aim to provide a safe, healthy and inclusive learning environment. In our Kindy room, we love to create various opportunities for children to play and explore, all inspired by their interests and strengths. We love to see all the children confident and enthusiastic within their learning settings, and we scaffold various skills and competencies to help create the best version of themselves.

Our program aims to implement a variety of learning experiences that support school readiness skills, while fostering independence and promoting resilience.

Your child will be welcomed by our team of educators, who will ensure the morning transition from home to centre goes as smoothly as possible. On arrival, share information about your child’s specific needs for the day.

Our centre chefs prepare a nutritious menu for your child to sit down and eat. This is a great time for everyone to share stories from the day. Educators model healthy eating practices, social behaviours and support children’s growing independence with mealtime routines.

If you have an infant, we spend one-on-one time with them to establish a connection. Educators talk gently and respond to babies’ cues. We use songs, games, and conversations to strengthen relationships and build language skills.

Your child is naturally curious. They want to learn and explore, which is why we teach through play-based learning. It supports language, motor skills, memory, emotions and social relationships. Educators plan play-based learning experiences based on children’s interests and goals.

We match routines to your child’s individual needs. Opportunities for rest and relaxation help make them feel safe. Play-based learning experiences are provided for older children who no longer don’t sleep in centre.

As your child prepares to head home, this is your opportunity to speak with our friendly educators about your child’s day and everything they learnt. We look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow.
