A person’s a person, no matter how small.

Nursery

Kids on Carrington’s Nursery education and care room has 12 infants each day between the age of 6 weeks to 2 years.
We have three educators each day, the group leader has a diploma in early childhood education and care and the two assistants will have either a certificate III or diploma of early childhood education and care. We provide consistent educators in the nursery throughout the week and use the same pool of relief educators when our full-time educators are on annual leave or sick leave.

Educational Programs

Educators at Kids on Carrington take a holistic approach to observing and planning for young children. We use influences from sociocultural theorist Lev Vygotsky. Vygotsky believes that children learn by engaging with adults and more capable peers. We achieve this by interacting with children on an individual basis as well as small group and large group experiences.
Each child in the Nursery is observed on a regular basis and an individual experience is planned for them. Their observations and planned experiences are kept in their individual learning journal which is available to be viewed at any time in the education and care room.

Your child’s routine

When your infant attends the Nursery at Kids on Carrington, their educators will follow the routine you have created for your child. We have an individual routine record for families to complete upon enrolment, this will be updated each time your child moves education and care rooms. This record is kept in your child’s education and care room for educators to reference when needed.
We understand that each day is different when caring for an infant so we also have a daily routine record which is completed each morning by families in regards to the upcoming day for their infant. Our educators also complete the daily routine record so you are aware of your child’s food/milk intake, sleeps and nappy changes for the day.
