At Aussie Kindies, we nurture your child’s development through every stage of their early years with our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum — a proven, research-backed approach that grows with your child from birth to school age.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and Relationship Practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
