INTERACTIVE SCREEN
Interactive screens are now installed in our Pre-Kindy room and Pre-school/Kindy Rooms. Our centre is always looking for ways to enhance children’s learning. High quality education and care is our number one priority. Although we are classed as for ‘profit’, we really are ‘not for profit’ as money is streamed back into the service for resources and upgrades.
Preschool teachers widely agree that preschool education should be fun and engaging, not stressful, and should emphasize play over academics.
Early childhood education researchers and policymakers stress that young learners need to start getting used to academic learning early on so they’ll have an easier time learning how to read and write. To introduce children to academics in a way they find motivating and fun, early childhood education needs to combine learning and play. To do this, teachers can use teaching tools like interactive whiteboards.
Interactive whiteboards can improve outcomes in early childhood education across many subjects, from literacy and English language learning to math and science. In literacy, for example, teachers can use interactive whiteboards to share multimedia ebooks with text, sound, images, colour, and animation. This motivates children to learn and helps them concentrate.
New playground coming in 2025
We are exciting to announce that we will be building a new playground as well as upgrades to our current nature playground.
We are currently in our planning stage which the kindy children have been actively involved in with designing and documenting their dream playground space.
Climbing Tree will be building our space and with awards received for best playground design, we are excited to see our completed space. Check out their website to view their current and past designs.
Australian Dental Foundation Visit
The ‘My School Dentist’ Program proudly provides onsite mobile dental treatment and education for your child. You will receive a report on the dentist findings and they also provide follow up care at their onsite dentist rooms. These visits tie in with our education and policy around dental hygiene where the children will brush their teeth after breakfast all supplied by the centre.
At Woodville Day Nursery we have the dentist visit our children every 6 months which is covered under your Medicare or your Private Health Insurance.
The children are very excited to take a new toothbrush home provided by the dentist.
New Shade Sail
We are thrilled to announce the installation of a new shade sail at our early learning centre, marking a significant enhancement to our outdoor environment. This innovative addition not only provides much-needed sun protection but also creates a comfortable and safe space for children to enjoy outdoor activities throughout the day.
Nestled amidst our play areas, the shade sail offers a cool retreat where children can engage in imaginative play, socialise with peers, and explore their surroundings with added comfort and security. Its vibrant design complements our commitment to creating a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring that every child can thrive while benefiting from the joys of outdoor play in a protected setting.
Eyes and Vision
We have partnered with eyes and vision to provide yearly visits to our service to examine our children’s eyes. In South Australia, only 10% of children receive an annual eye exam. However, it’s crucial to note that 80% of learning is visual. Hence, early detection and treatment of visual impairments are essential for providing children with the best possible start in their educational journey. Teachers play a pivotal role in this process as they are often the first to notice visual difficulties among their students in the classroom.
Love Heart AI
We have begun to use Love Heart AI to ensure each child’s educational journey is catered for, individualised, meets all necessary curriculum outcomes and is an assisted tool for educators to help streamline their curriculum. Love Heart AI is an innovative platform designed to help educators create personalized, developmentally appropriate curriculum plans for early years children. By leveraging artificial intelligence, it helps teachers tailor learning experiences that nurture children’s cognitive, emotional, and social growth. For families, this means greater confidence in knowing their child is receiving a curriculum that is both engaging and suited to their individual needs. With Love Heart AI, educators can track progress, adjust learning paths, and ensure every child has the best possible foundation for future success.
