At Ducklings Early Education, we are committed to knowing and offering an individual experience for you and your child. Each child is offered an environment which will foster their creativity, self-confidence and ensure a meaningful, valuable early childhood education experience.
Our Standards
It all starts with your child’s individual wellbeing
We commit to knowing each child and their family and to incorporate this knowledge into the educational program
Each child will be supported in becoming creative, socially competent and to discover an individual love of learning
We will offer a safe, challenging, interesting and considered environment for your child to experience their learning
Our Structure
Our centre has been designed and built around offering children the best possible learning experiences from their environment – otherwise known as ‘the third teacher’.
We have created a sense of ‘indoor/ outdoor flow’, inviting children to engage with their space whatever the weather and enable them to follow their own inspirations and interests.
Our educator team will ensure spaces are set up to inspire, provoke, invite, engage and challenge the children – ensuring maximum enjoyment and learning from their time at the centre.
To encourage and support a ‘sense of belonging’ we have created 3 Pods (Infant/ Toddler/ Pre-School) to contain our 9 studios. Strong, supportive relationships can be built as these pods develop.
Our APPROACH
At Ducklings Early Education Centre we are passionate about the learning journey the children and Educators go on every day while they spend time in our environment.
Our Curriculum is grounded in the Early Years Learning Framework and inspired by Reggio Emilia & RIE approaches.
