Environment and location

Our wonderful community of local families tell us how much they value the incredible care and love their children receive at our centre. Our smaller-scale centre has a quieter atmosphere and fewer children where we meet their individual needs.

If you have a particular aspect of school readiness or social skill development you would like to focus on, this centre is perfect for your child.

Our ‘Body Break’ room is ideal for children who need quieter activities during the day. The space features calming images, cushions, yoga mats and sensory resources. It's a valuable place to help children self-regulate their needs and emotions.

We also take advantage of our beautiful natural surroundings and enjoy weekly Bush Kindy walking excursions to discover and learn from our natural environment. The video above showcases some of the children's regular learning and enjoyment.

Spacious outdoors

Children love spending time in our huge and newly renovated outdoor playground. They enjoy this large space to run, play games and sports, climb trees (yes, we climb trees!), garden, ride bikes, make music and more. We even have our own mini Bradman Road 'petrol station'!

We’re located in a beautiful bush setting.  We take full advantage of our location, with the children enjoying regular walking excursions and experiencing the joy of nature in our neighbouring bushland.

Sports program

The children enjoy regular sports run in-house by one of our Educators, who also happens to be a former Sydney Swans player. It's fundamental movement, fitness and fun featuring sports including AFL, acro gym, basketball and more.

Our team

Some of our Bradman Road Educators have been with us for many years. They’re among the best in the business - loving, caring and genuinely proud of their work. Their own interests and talents also help to create exciting and engaging extracurricular activities for the children.

Preschool program

Our quality preschool program includes a deliberate combination of intentional teaching and spontaneous learning. It also reflects the children’s interests and each child’s learning goals.

We foster every child's love of learning. Children who are inspired to learn will thrive in every aspect of their development.  They will ask questions, process information, try new things, be happy to share and collaborate, develop friendships, join in games, and know they belong to a community of learning.

Our creative early education programs follow the Australian Government's Early Years Learning Framework, the only government-approved learning framework for children under school age.

Our preschool program fosters:

• Language (learning new words, following directions, sharing news and stories etc).
• Cognitive growth (concepts such as time, advanced memory games)
• Pre-literacy
• Pre-numeracy
• STEAM experiences (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths)
• Fine motor skills (pincer grip, cutting, pasting, holding a pencil, drawing, writing name)
• Gross motor skills (hopping, jumping, skipping)

Social and emotional skills are also important for primary school. We focus on children's development in these areas:

• Emotional resilience (self-regulating emotions, expressing emotions in a way that others would expect)
• Self-care skills (e.g. caring for belongings, tying shoelaces, toileting by themselves)
• Making and maintaining friendships
• Starting conversations with others
• Problem solving skills
• Developing resilience
• Sharing and taking turns
• Compromising, cooperating and working in a group with other children.
• Learning to adapt to changes in routines
• Knowing when and how to ask for help
• Empathy and caring for others.
