“My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that children are naturally curious and capable learners, discovering the world through play and exploration. “

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that children are naturally curious and capable learners, discovering the world through play and exploration. Each day, I learn alongside them, observing their interests, questions, and problem-solving skills as they engage with their environment.

I value the spontaneity of learning moments that arise through hands-on experiences, fostering a sense of wonder and joy in discovery. By creating a nurturing and responsive environment, I encourage children to take the lead in their learning, developing confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for exploration. My goal is to provide rich and meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity and encourage children to express themselves in a way that feels natural and exciting to them.

I believe that by respecting each child’s individuality and supporting their unique learning journey, we can help them build strong foundations for lifelong learning. Through play, meaningful interactions, and a warm, inclusive space, I strive to guide children in discovering their full potential.

“Play is essential for fostering problem-solving, creativity, and social connections, allowing children to grow in a way that is both natural and meaningful.”

I am passionate about providing young learners with a nurturing and supportive environment where they feel a strong sense of belonging, care, security, and safety.

My teaching philosophy is deeply inspired by the Early Years Learning Framework, which highlights the importance of recognising each child’s uniqueness. I believe that every child has their own learning style, beliefs, and abilities, and I value the role of play in all aspects of a child’s development. Play is essential for fostering problem-solving, creativity, and social connections, allowing children to grow in a way that is both natural and meaningful.

As an educator, I am committed to working collaboratively with families, recognising the importance of open communication and shared understanding in supporting each child’s learning journey and overall well-being. By building strong partnerships between educators, families, and the community, I aim to create an environment where children feel empowered to explore, learn, and thrive in a space that values their individuality and potential.

Our Werribee Kindergarten’s Philosophy

At Little Blossoms in Werribee, our kindergarten program is guided by a child-centred, play-based philosophy. We believe that children are capable and inquisitive learners who thrive through exploration and active engagement with their environment. By observing and learning from children each day, we design experiences that are responsive to their interests and developmental needs.

Our values of respect, inclusivity, and lifelong learning create a welcoming environment where every child feels valued and empowered. Through play, children build creativity, problem-solving abilities, social-emotional skills, and confidence, preparing them not just for school, but for life.

Our innovative early learning programs

At our Kindergarten n Werribee, our kinder programs for three-year-old and four-year-old children focus on key developmental areas that build strong foundations for future learning:

Literacy and numeracy

We nurture children’s love for language and mathematics through hands-on, play-based experiences. Storytelling, conversations, songs, and engaging activities help children develop strong early literacy skills, while playful numeracy experiences encourage number recognition, counting, and problem-solving. These skills form the foundation of confident school readiness and lifelong learning.

Social and emotional development

We create a nurturing environment where children feel safe to express their emotions, develop resilience, and build positive relationships with their peers and teachers. Through guided interactions, group discussions, and emotional literacy activities, children learn to manage their feelings, solve conflicts respectfully, and develop empathy, independence, and a strong sense of belonging.

Cognitive development and problem-solving

Children’s natural curiosity is encouraged through inquiry-based projects, open-ended questions, and discovery-driven play. They are supported to make predictions, experiment with ideas, and develop creative solutions to challenges. These experiences foster a love of thinking, reasoning, and lifelong learning, preparing children for future academic success and adaptability.

Physical development

Physical development is supported through a variety of engaging activities designed to strengthen both fine and gross motor skills. Children climb, balance, draw, cut, build, and participate in group games that enhance their physical confidence, coordination, and body awareness. Active outdoor play and creative indoor activities ensure that every child grows strong, capable, and ready for new challenges.

Enriching extracurricular activities

At our Werribee kindergarten, we offer a variety of enriching activities that enhance children’s learning and appreciation for culture and community:

  • African Drumming Sessions – Children develop rhythm, coordination, and a love for music.
  • Sports Day (fortnightly) – Encourages teamwork, physical activity, and confidence through fun, age-appropriate games.
  • Aboriginal Music Sessions – Introduces children to the rich cultural heritage of First Nations peoples through storytelling, traditional songs, and instruments.
  • Cooking Classes – Every Thursday, children have the opportunity to explore healthy eating, develop kitchen skills, and participate in collaborative cooking experiences.

These activities foster creativity, inclusivity, physical well-being, and a deep connection to the wider world.

Local school connections

We partner with local primary schools in Werribee to support a smooth and confident transition from Kindergarten to primary school.

Throughout the kinder year, you and your child will have access to:

  • School visits: Through transition visits and classroom experiences, children meet their future teachers, explore new environments, and build familiarity.
  • Kindergarten information evenings: We invite school teachers to share their insights on ‘school readiness,’ offering families valuable guidance on how to best prepare their child for the move to primary school.
  • School transition statements: Our Early Childhood Teachers prepare detailed Transition Statements for each child, outlining their strengths, interests, and learning progress. These statements are shared with families and schools to support a seamless transition into school.

These opportunities ensure that both children and parents feel informed, supported, and well-equipped for this important milestone in their educational journey.

Frequently asked questions

In Australia, sessional kindergartens or preschools are usually operated by local government, religious organisations, schools, private organisations or the community. They usually run during school term and school hours, meaning the program runs for 40 weeks per year, with most sessions finishing up around 2 pm, over 2-3 days per week.

The kindergarten or preschool program is also offered in long day care centres. Most long day care centres are open from 7:00 AM. to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday with flexible drop-off/pick-up times to better accommodate busy working families. Long day care centres run 52 weeks per year, meaning your child would not miss out on valuable learning opportunities during school holidays.

Nutritional meals and snacks are covered in long day care centres, so you don’t have to worry about packing lunches.

Child Care Subsidy still applies when your child attends the kindergarten or preschool programs offered in long day care services. Depending on your state or territory, different funding options can be combined with your Child Care Subsidy savings, making kindergarten or preschool more affordable for your family.

Essentially, there is no difference between the curriculums adopted by long day care and sessional kindergarten or preschool providers. They are both run by qualified early childhood teachers, and they all align with Early Years Learning Framework, focusing on supporting individual children’s development, interests and needs through play-based and intentional learning experiences.

If your child is already settled at a long day care centre, they have the opportunity to stay in a familiar environment, transitioning together with their friends.

To receive the Best Start, Best Life Kinder subsidy, your child needs to turn 4 years on or before 30th April 2024 and enrolled in a funded Kindergarten program in 2024. For 3 year old Kindergarten, to be eligible your child must be 3 on or before 30th April 2024 and enrolled in a funded Kindergarten program in 2024. Your child must attend a minimum of 2 days of Kinder per week, across which can be applied over 52 weeks of the year.

The government subsidised kindergarten hours apply to 15 hours a week which can be applied over 52 weeks.

The 7.5 hours free kinder is delivered during our long day care hours at our centres. The VIC Government is subsidising 7.5 hours of your long day care Kinder day, therefore there will be a reduced out of pocket cost on these days.

All our kindergarten programs run every day of the week. This means families have the flexibility for their child/ren to receive the highest quality learning experiences on days that best support them.

The benefit of attending a G8 Education long day care centre is our enhanced learning program combines play-based long daycare programming plus the government approved Best Start, Best Life Kindergarten program. Our program runs 5 days a week for 52 weeks of the year. During the period where the government funded kindergarten does not apply, your CCS will reduce your out of pocket expense.

The Victorian Government will subsidise 15 hours per week over, 600 hours per year which can be applied over 52 weeks (minimum 2 days per week). As a long day care provider, we offer a 5 day per week program and your child can attend more than 2 days per week. If you are eligible for the Childcare Subsidy (CCS), the CCS will apply on these additional days and reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Attending 2 days or more supports your child’s learning, development and wellbeing to experience a successful school transition as a more confident and engaged learner.

Attending Kindergarten at G8 Education centres means your child will benefit from our enhanced learning program that combines play-based long daycare with the VIC Government funded Kindergarten.

Busy families will be reassured with year-round care that develops holistic school readiness. More than numeracy and literacy, our program fosters emotional and social development and resilience and self-regulation for healthy bodies and minds.

No, you can only access funding at one centre for 15 hours a week, which can be applied over 52 weeks.

This is an additional subsidy from the Victorian Government that will apply to a portion of your fees after the Childcare Subsidy is applied. The percentage of CCS your family is entitled to for non-funded Kindergarten program hours will not change.

We have good news for families who are not eligible for CCS.

The VIC Government will subsidise the 15 hours per week of free Kindergarten, which can be applied across 52 weeks. Outside of these subsidised hours, full fees will be applied.

All our kindergarten programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), a national learning framework for Australia. These programs are informed by qualified and passionate Early Childhood Educators and Teachers. Our Curriculum accommodates each individual child’s learning, development, and well-being.
