The Brook Early Education and Care - Education - 6 week - 15 month

Nest and Bud: 6 weeks to 2 years

Your infant’s wellbeing is our first priority, and we deeply value the trust you place in us. In our warm, positive environment, educators build strong, nurturing relationships that help each child feel safe, secure, and connected.

Within this caring foundation, babies are encouraged to explore and engage in meaningful experiences that support early communication, social awareness, sensory development, and confidence. With us, your infant is not only cared for—they are cherished and guided as they grow and develop.

Our 12 months to 2 years environments are designed to give children the confidence to explore and thrive. Educators get to know each child as an individual, providing the trust and support they need. Through hands-on, age-appropriate experiences, toddlers build self-help skills—like using a spoon and practicing hand-washing—while beginning to understand the world around them.

Sapling and Spring: 2 years – 3 years

Play is essential to the development of 2–3-year-olds, as it is the primary way they explore and make sense of the world. Through hands-on experiences, children begin to understand concepts such as size, weight, length, volume, texture, and colour. They benefit from educators scaffolding their learning through thoughtful questioning, which inspires curiosity, experimentation, and problem-solving.

Active physical play helps children develop coordination, strength, and confidence as they explore their surroundings, while encouragement and praise nurture self-assurance and a love of learning.

Flourish and Blossom: 3 years – 5 years

Every child is a unique individual. Between three and five years, children engage enthusiastically in imaginative and role-based play, exploring make-believe worlds and imitating everyday life. They take on roles such as firefighters, police officers, teachers, and parents, developing creativity, social skills, empathy, and problem-solving skills.

As part of our Government Approved Kindergarten program, our Bachelor Qualified Early Childhood Teachers also focus on preparing children for school by building early literacy and numeracy skills, as well as developing independence and self-help skills to help prepare children for school. Through a balance of teacher-led learning and play, children gain the confidence and skills needed to thrive as they transition to school and beyond.
