Programs
At Canterbury Childcare Centre, we provide a nurturing and engaging learning environment designed to support every stage of your child’s early development. Our play-based curriculum blends structured learning with hands-on exploration, fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
With a focus on early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional growth, our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and delivered by passionate educators. From interactive indoor activities to outdoor adventures, we ensure each child develops essential skills while having fun in a safe and supportive space.
A Nurturing Start in Our Babies Room
Our Babies Room provides a warm and caring environment, with only four babies per day, ensuring plenty of quality time with our dedicated educators.
We tailor our care to each child’s unique needs, focusing on feeding, sleeping, and gentle exploration as they grow.
Our goal is to create a nurturing space that is both stimulating and supportive, helping little ones reach key developmental milestones through engaging, age-appropriate activities.
When the time is right—usually around 14 - 18 months—babies transition to our Toddlers Room. This move is carefully planned in collaboration with parents and educators, considering each child's individual needs and readiness for the next stage of their learning journey.
TODDLERS
Encouraging Independence in Our Toddlers Room
In our Toddlers Room, we embrace this exciting stage of development, where children are becoming independent and capable young learners.
Our dedicated educators support each child’s growth by nurturing their emerging personalities and encouraging self-help skills that prepare them for the next stages of life.
We believe in the power of learning through play, fostering a relaxed and engaging environment where toddlers can explore, create, and connect with the world around them. Through sensory experiences, hands-on activities, and unstructured play, we provide endless opportunities for discovery, problem-solving, and self-expression.
Our program is guided by the children’s interests, incorporating their curiosity into daily activities while valuing input from parents and families. By creating a space where toddlers feel confident to explore and learn, we help them develop into enthusiastic, inquisitive learners ready for their preschool journey.
Inspiring Young Minds in Our Kindergarten Program

We provide a nurturing environment where children can build confidence, develop essential skills, and express their creativity.
With a holistic approach to early learning, our play-based curriculum incorporates music and movement, art, sensory experiences, and engaging projects that spark curiosity and imagination. We embrace diversity, catering to children from various cultural backgrounds and developmental needs, ensuring every child feels valued and supported.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our program is thoughtfully designed to enhance each child’s strengths and individuality, preparing them for a smooth transition to school. Through hands-on experiences and collaborative learning, we inspire young learners to become confident, capable, and eager to take on new challenges
