LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
Babies
Positions available for enrolment in 2023
6 weeks - 2 years
In our Babies Room we provide a nurturing environment for our youngest children, with the added benefit of trained teachers who lead an enthusiastic and dedicated learning environment. We have consistent staff from 8am to 6pm, supporting a deep understanding and secure relationship with your child from arrival to departure. We know babies are intuitive and react negatively to high stress environments, so it is vital that we place an emphasis on creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere in our Babies Centre, through music, calming colours, and more wooden toys.

Our Toddlers Room is our toddler focused learning environment, Toddlers are making a transition from being babies to preschoolers and they need educators who are supportive of this exciting, but sometimes challenging, period in their lives. Toddlers need to have predictable routines and consistent expectations, both of themselves and others. They are constantly testing their own limitations and learning to consider their place in the world as an individual, whilst establishing a social context outside of their home environment. Belonging to a larger group, whilst still having the security of trusted educators and an educational program tailored to their specific requirements, is what we believe to be the best learning environment for our toddlers at Pinjarra.
Pinjarra Early Years, this age group are our oldest children at Gordon and they share their time together in the outdoor playground. Preschool room provides an educational program which is responsive to pre-schoolers highly inquisitive minds and supportive of their remarkable ability to problem solve to find solutions in order to make sense of their world. Pre-Schoolers need educators who understand they have a strong desire to test out their theories and who provide a learning environment which enables this self-discovery to occur. Social relationships with their peers play a vital role in pre-schoolers lives and their confidence to participate in learning experiences. The Pre-school program allow educators to guide each child appropriately with pro-social skills of negotiating, turn-taking and consideration of different perspectives as they learn to share their world with each other.
Pinjarra Pre-School at Pymble
​

Pinjarra Pymble caters to children in the year prior to school catering to children 3-5 years of age.
School Readiness Program promote the importance of learning and developing children's social and emotional skills. With an emphasis on PLAY-Based Learning, children can lead, contribute and question, be curious, explore and discover at their own pace and follow their own interests.
​
There are spaces to sit and learn quietly as well as places to use their large muscles.
The children can re-enact familiar stories like The Three Little Pigs; move to songs they enjoy and tell stories through their play.
By engaging their senses, children are able to explore and discover the world around them, likely to make a mess and even get messy!
The children will learn how to become independent, work with others as a team and recognise and regulate their emotions. They will explore culture and self-identity and how the world around them works.

The Garden @ Pymble
We are very lucky with the abundance of space in our outdoor environment, with many garden beds (Fairy Garden, Vegie Patch with Scarecrow, and Dinosaur Garden) that are continually growing and flourishing just like the children who help care for them. SUSTAINABILITY plays a large part in who we are as a service. The children will learn about the ‘reuse, reduce and recycle’ initiative, composting, water conservation, caring for the environment and the living organisms within it and the inclusion of natural resources, promoting a positive learning approach. Our outdoor environment provides a vast array of possibilities to climb, run, dig and dance or quietly read a story with our lovely local grandmother.
