PHILOSOPHY OUR PEOPLE

about us

At Chifley Early Learning Centre we aspire to our vision of providing children with the best possible start in life.

NUTRITION SUSTAINABILITY

about us

Nutrition plays a vital role in childhood development. Active, growing bodies require excellent nutrition and our menus have been designed by our Chef with this in mind. Our menus are specifically prepared to ensure that children are offered a wide range of delicious, healthy meals that meet daily nutritional requirements and fuel little bodies for play.

Our Chef freshly prepares meals that will entice even the fussiest of eaters. As part of their learning journey, children will learn how to make healthy food choices and come to understand the importance of nourishing their bodies.

A Sample Menu is available to view on our website.

We recognise the importance of our role in guiding children to protect and cherish our natural world for all to enjoy now and in the future. This has laid the foundations for the unique design of our premium early learning centre and innovative play spaces.

A focus on beautiful indoor plants, gardens and natural materials will inspire and delight children of all ages.

Through our curriculum and sustainable surroundings, children develop an appreciation and love for the natural environment in which they will flourish.

In 2014 Chifley Tower completed their extensive green retrofit program and was later recognised for their efforts with an International Sustainability Award. The buildings continued dedication to energy efficiency, marries perfectly with our Corporate sustainability practices.

a day in the life

Each child is warmly greeted and we begin our morning together. We share a special book and sing welcoming songs to help the children transition from home to Chifley Early Learning Centre. Parents can take the time to enjoy a barista-made coffee and ease into their day in our beautifully designed parents lounge.

Beautiful learning spaces encourage the children to explore freely and investigate. Their natural curiosities and skills are cultivated as the children build, create, imitate, imagine, design and dream all while practising invaluable communication and social skills.

Uplifting music and children’s instruments are used by our enthusiastic educators to invite the children to get moving with creative dance and movement exercises. Children develop their perceptual motor skills and burn energy before it’s time to rest and rejuvenate.

Gentle music signals to the children that it’s rest time. For some, this will mean a well needed nap. For others, this is a time for quiet independent activity such as reading or completing a puzzle.

Children engage in free play as they choose from a wide range of purposeful age appropriate play spaces. Limited only by their imaginations, children may choose to create a piece of art, swing and climb on the play equipment or host a tea party with some treasured toys.

As children continue to engage in their free play, exercising their imagination and creativity we begin to farewell until tomorrow. Each child leaves the centre feeling valued and eager to return.

Children have the option to participate in organised activity. This may take the form of a craft activity, a social game or a language activity inspired by a wonderful story.

Wholesome, nutritious food baked in-house by our very own chef delights the children’s senses and provides them with the nourishment needed for play and learning. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and snacks are lovingly prepared and provided throughout the day.

EARLY LEARNING

curriculum

At Chifley Early Learning Centre we embrace the Early Years Learning Framework and subscribe to the philosophy that ‘play is child’s work’. Our highly trained educators understand that play is instrumental in shaping the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of each child.

The significance of the early years in relation to future learning as well as physical, behavioural and social development is recognised and our curriculum has been designed with this in mind. Our approach is child-centred, where children learn in a safe, supportive and caring environment which fosters positive relationships and a strong sense of belonging.

Our state of the art Learning Environment promotes a sense of curiosity, inquiry and wonder from even the youngest of children. Every corner of every space has been designed with a purpose, and provides children with rich and meaningful learning experiences. Through play, inquiry, exploration, discussion and investigation, children develop their authentic selves and strengthen their thinking, communication and social skills.

Our registered Kindergarten Program taught by four-year university-trained Early Childhood Teachers offers children the opportunity to express their individuality through their natural learning style.

We are fortunate to have on our doorstep, access to a diverse range of cultural learning experiences, our calender of events includes trips to the galleries, museums, libraries and much more.

EXPLORE OUR NATURAL WORLD

EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY

curriculum

At Chifley Early Learning Centre, we believe the learning environment plays an integral role in a child’s learning. The use of natural materials and neutral colours promotes a sense of calm and allows for open-ended creativity.

Our unique and exclusive Sydney CBD location provides the children with amazing opportunities to experience all the natural elements and concepts such as the wind, rain, mud, bugs and much more.

Chifley Children have regular access to Sydney’s Botanical Gardens, which is conveniently located across the road as well as many other CBD parks.

Not only do our children get to explore with and experience the very best the city has to offer, but can bring these experiences back into the classroom.

As a futures-orientated Early Learning Centre with a focus on providing high quality education, we embrace and integrate technology into our curriculum. Appropriate and safe use of technology such as Early Years Math, Literacy and Science programs delivered through Interactive Whiteboards and classroom iPads aims to expand, enrich, extend and differentiate the curriculum.

For parents, digital kiosks are located at the entrance of the facility, making the process of signing your children in and out of the centre each day quick and easy.
