Your baby’s learning journey. As we know, each baby learns differently.
The key development areas start from the very beginning: language, cognitive, emotional, social and physical.
Our specialty is to provide a safe, warm environment that allows your baby to feel secure, loved and to build their confidence.
Our Educators at Greenland value all family input, share suggestions and gather information about your baby’s needs, strengths, progress, wellbeing and development.
We take special care at Greenland with each baby and family so that you feel confident that your baby is in the safest of hands, whom deeply care about your child’s wellbeing, and happy to know that your child is learning and growing in a peaceful and stimulating environment.

Your toddlers’ learning journey changes dramatically from 2 to 3 years of age as they become more active, bursting with energy and curiosity, flourishing and thriving as they become more independent and develop valuable self-help skills and absorb the world around them.
During a toddler’s development each toddler grows and learns at his or her own pace. Our Educators observe closely to accommodate and plan for each child’s abilities, strengths and interest and to enhance all children’s developments.
Our qualified Educators specialise in Early Childhood Development and support this through a program of play-based learning activities, following the Australian Early Learning framework, “Belonging, Being and Becoming”.
At Greenland we love making your child’s time with us fun and a positive experience.

– Emotionally preparedness and learning to become resilient individuals
In our Kinder Program children are encouraged to be independent and confident life-long learners who feel empowered to explore their curiosity. We enhance on the children’s development and abilities involving gross and fine motor skills.
In this way the children are prepared for their first year of school with a range of developmental skills linking to what they will be covering in their foundation year of school, which builds the foundations for success.
