The morning, when everything and anything is possible.

As parents and children arrive at our centres, our educators are there to welcome them and help each child transition into the day. A nutritious breakfast is served before 8:30 am to kickstart the day! This is just the beginning of our wide range of childcare activities that encourage confidence and belonging.

Play is an important part of our morning and children spend time connecting with educators and engaging in free play before morning tea. Free play helps children build a range of skills and is a vital tool for achieving holistic development. Our educators encourage free play and ensure there are blocks of time throughout the day where children can freely engage in their own self-driven play.

The mid-morning, a time to explore new ideas together

After time spent building relationships and playing freely, we have the chance for a healthy morning tea together to give us lots of energy for the day. The rest of our morning is spent learning and exploring together. After morning tea, the children often participate in a group learning session. Group sessions add to children’s sense of belonging and typically feature educational childcare activities involving nutrition and sustainability.

Children are then invited to explore a range of engaging, interest-based activities designed to build each child’s development. Families looking for engaging childcare activities in Geraldton will find our programs focus on creativity, music, movement, science and more.

The middle of the day, time for lunch and a well-needed rest

Respectful mealtimes are an important part of our day. We often share a family style meal where educators take the opportunity connect with the children and share thoughts and ideas. This is also an opportunity for older children to practice self-help skills. Children are encouraged to serve and feed themselves with the assistance of our educators. 


Following lunch, the children have the chance to rest. After a stimulating and busy morning so rest time is an important opportunity to rest physically and unwind emotionally. For the older children rest occurs in the middle of day, for younger children rest time varies depending on their needs.

The afternoon, an opportunity to learn and connect

When children wake up from their sleep or finish their rest, some exciting new childcare activities will be waiting for them. The afternoon is a time to slowly transition back into learning and play.

Educators set up new educational activities that will often follow on from what has been taught that morning to create continuity of learning. Our educators carefully tailor childcare activities to suit each age group, so every child feels supported while still being gently challenged. For younger children, this may include sensory play or simple group games, while older ones dive into early literacy, problem-solving and hands-on science. It’s all about nurturing curiosity, confidence and joy in learning for every child in Geraldton, WA.

We have some time to share afternoon tea together before the children participate in child-driven play. During child-driven play, children are supported to navigate their social and physical environment while learning about the world, constructing their own realities.

In the late afternoon, we make the most of the rest of our time

As the day draws to an end, the children have the opportunity to participate in planned or spontaneous childcare activities. We like to make the most of the rest of our day, so the late afternoon is usually filled with music, dance, stories, outdoor play and more.

There is time for a snack for children who stay a little later. This is a particularly nice time to focus on building emotional awareness and resilience as we reflect on our day together. For parents, our Parent Resources provide helpful insights into supporting learning at home too.
