Emu’s Room 🦤
3 – 5 years (3 & 4 Year-Old Sessional Kindergarten)

Our Emu Kinder Class is a mixed kindergarten program for children aged 3 to 5 years old. In this model, children of both ages learn and grow together in the same environment, creating a vibrant and supportive classroom community. This approach offers many benefits, including: Stronger social skills – younger children learn from their older peers, while older children develop empathy and leadership by supporting younger classmates. Academic growth – children are exposed to a wider range of ideas, experiences, and perspectives, enriching their learning journey.

✨ Routine & Learning
Children follow a familiar daily routine with active play, focused STEAM sessions, meals, outdoor time, and quiet reflection. Our STEAM educational program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Maths) runs both morning and afternoon, alongside early literacy experiences to help prepare children for school.

💖 Educator Support
Our Kindergarten Teachers guide children through hands-on activities, helping them develop social skills, problem-solving, creativity, and self-confidence. Daily yoga sessions teach breathing techniques to regulate emotions and support wellbeing.

🌿 Daily Experiences
Children enjoy:

  • Multi-step art projects & painting with colour and texture

  • Music, singing, and playing instruments

  • Drawing themselves and their families

  • Hands-on STEAM experiments

  • Pretend play and imaginative activities

Children also have quiet spaces to rest, read, or engage in calm play when needed.

🤸 Outdoor Play & Physical Development
Our gardens and playgrounds encourage running, climbing, digging, riding bikes, and exploring. Highlights include:

  • Sandpit for sensory and imaginative play

  • Monkey bars and climbing equipment for strength & coordination

  • Swing area nestled among trees

  • Purpose-built traffic school for active play and learning

🧘 Wellbeing & Mindfulness
Children are supported to manage emotions and develop self-awareness through yoga, breathing exercises, and structured play experiences.

🚶 Community & Excursions
Weekly walking excursions help children build stamina and explore the local community, including parks, libraries, and shops. All excursions are carefully planned with clear learning outcomes, risk minimisation, and parental permission.

🏊 Extra-Curricular Activities
Optional activities like swimming lessons and Pit Gym are available for children over 3 years old (additional cost). These programs promote physical development, confidence, and fun learning experiences.

🍎 Nutrition & Care
Children bring a packed lunch box full of healthy food ready for the day. This helps them prepare for school and teaches independence and responsibility as they manage their own lunch.

Our School Readiness Program is designed to give children the confidence, skills, and independence they need as they transition to primary school. Through play-based and intentional learning, we focus on the key developmental areas that set children up for success in their first year of school. The program includes: Early literacy and numeracy skills – recognising letters and sounds, developing vocabulary, exploring numbers, counting, shapes, and problem-solving. Self-help and independence – encouraging children to manage their belongings, follow routines, and take responsibility for their learning. Social and emotional development – building resilience, confidence, and positive relationships with peers and teachers. Fine and gross motor skills – activities that strengthen hand control for writing and drawing, as well as balance, coordination, and physical confidence. Inquiry and curiosity – fostering a love of learning through hands-on projects, group discussions, and exploration. Our educators work in partnership with families to support each child’s individual readiness, ensuring they feel excited and prepared for the big step into school.
