BOWRAL STREET CHILDCARE
About Us
About Us
We’re a family owned and operated childcare centre located in Bowral, with long operating hours, providing your child with the best early learning development and education, social skills and a nurturing approach to their overall progress in preparation for kindergarten.
Our Learning Environment
Bowral Street Childcare provides extended hours to suit your busy work life. We offer a homely environment, loving care, and an educational program to children aged 2 to 6 years. We take pride in providing a space that allows for the growth of your children and an overall nurturing and encouraging lifestyle for them to grow up in. Our centre provides your children with plenty of outdoor playing space and room to explore with their friends.
The indoor learning rooms are designed specifically for each stage of your child’s growth and development and they allow for your children to move through each room as they grow up. Our rooms are well equipped with a variety of resources for learning and play. We strive for a positive learning environment and we’re a thriving centre with an excellent reputation and lifestyle that we’ve built in the Southern Highlands.
OUR PROGRAM
Our program
We believe in interest based learning here at Bowral Street Childcare and we have implemented this mode of education in our programs making them age appropriate and play orientated.
Our programs cater to the current interests and abilities of all children; this assists in empowering children to view themselves as successful, capable and competent learners. In addition to this, we’ve adopted some home-based principles from the Reggio Emilia approach, to support children to understand and contribute to their daily routines at home.
At Bowral Street Childcare, children are engaged in a variety of experiences, which include opportunities to explore and discover their environment, work together, problem solve, engage in sensory play, engage on their own or with educators, and participate in quiet or vigorous experiences.
When we are outside, children play with children of all ages, we call this family grouping. It’s lovely to see the diversity of friendships that develop; young children look up to and learn from the older children and the older children develop care and compassion for those who are younger. When we are inside, children are separated into their rooms where they are grouped age appropriately. Bowral Street Childcare has three separate rooms, the Koala Room (2-3 years), the Echidna Room (3-4 years), and the Kangaroo Room (4-6 years). This enables us to provide a routine and educational program that is appropriate to children’s age and emotional development.
