Babies Room
6 weeks - 18 months
We aim to provide children with a safe environment that they can enjoy and explore. We want for the children to feel safe with their carers while they are developing.
We provide children with art experiences, outdoor play and sensory activities. We are continuously working on each individual child’s self help skills. The staff promote the development of skills such as feeding themselves, sitting at a table, wiping their faces after meals, settling themselves at sleep time and walking.
Toddler Room
1 - 2 years
We aim to provide children with an effective and stimulating environment that they can explore freely and extend on their developmental areas. We extend on self help skills and language communication encouraging positive behaviour between peers. We have group times throughout the day, encouraging children to interact and communicate with carers and other children. We encourage all children to take part in art and craft experiences and messy play. Outdoor play is a big part of the day with children extending their gross motor skills, through climbing, riding bikes and digging in the sand pit.
Pre-Kinder Room
2 - 3 years
Every day we continue to work on all developmental areas ensuring that all needs are being attended to, nurtured and encouraged to extend competently. We encourage toilet training, table manners, self help skills and forming positive relationships with -peers and carers. We learn new songs through group times and implement stories using puppets and a range of different props.
Kinder Room
3 - 5 years
Foxkids Kinder Room offers a developmental program that incorporates children from the age of 3 through to 5. This provides the opportunity to gain strong social interaction skills, older children modelling skills to those younger and in turn, developing a caring attitude of their own. The room is grouped in-line with developmental needs.
Foxkids Kinder Room offers a stimulating and creative program designed specifically with your child in mind. We achieve this through observations and constant interaction, to provide appropriate experiences that meet all the developmental needs of the child. While we focus on various aspects of development, cognition, language, social and motor development, we also encourage creative open play, to allow the child to explore the world around them. We also provide a school readiness program for those older, providing one on one attention, more structure and access to developmentally appropriate computer programs including Letter Land which concentrates on the alphabet lower and upper case recognition as well as sounds and words and much much more.

- Observations are made on each child to gather information on their development, interests and strengths for programming
- Our child-centred approach includes an emphasis on community and parental involvement to assist carers in learning about their children’s background and individual needs
