Great Beginnings Aveley

Our Aveley child care centre is designed to be a home away from home that encourages every child’s exploration. Our brand-new, state-of-the-art, resource-rich early learning environments have been carefully designed to immerse your child into a world of exploration, curiosity, and learning.  

Each learning space extends onto our beautiful outdoor environment, which encourages endless opportunities for play! We have plenty of undercover play areas with climbing equipment for children to safely develop their strength, balance, and self-confidence through play. We have our centre chickens that children help take care of and our vegetable garden which we use for our sustainabiliy program.

Play is essential to every child's learning and development. It enables children to make decisions, learn, take risks, and have fun. At our Aveley child care centre, our experienced team plan play-based learning activities in line with national standards. The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is designed to engage in your child’s interests and allow them to experience each day in a new way, supporting their learning in the lead-up to primary school.  

Our Early Learning Curriculum also provides children with:

• Real Life experiences: Children participate in fun and exciting experiences such as woodworking, harvesting the veggie garden, feeding and caring for our chickens, recycling, and basic cooking skills. 
• Sustainability Program: Each age group participates in a sustainability project that help children embed sustainable practices into everyday life. Children learn about recycling, conserving water, growing food and the importance of looking after and protecting our planet. 
• Music and movement programs: Our music programs have been designed to help develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory and concentration.  
• Yoga Program: The children enjoy regular yoga sessions at the centre, where they learn about posture, strength and mindfulness.
• Community engagement activities: We often have visits from local community librarians, local police, and other community services in Aveley to help familiarise the children with their local community. We also have excursions to our local parks.
  
   

We provide children with nutrient-rich, fresh and seasonal foods created to please even the fussiest of eaters. For variety, our menu rotates every four weeks, with our cook catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child.  

Here at our Aveley early learning centre, we believe that by encouraging active participation in food preparation, such as growing & harvesting the fruit and vegetables, preparing, and helping cook the meal, children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
