Blue Room
2 - 3 years
Blue Room provides our children with a caring and nurturing atmosphere. We recognise the importance of developing children's self awareness and confidence whilst also developing their awareness of others. We place a lot of value on the development of social and language skills throughout our program. They have their own outdoor play area providing enough space to develop important relationships with their primary carers and other children. Indoors, the children have access to a range of materials programmed to meet their current interests and needs. Our learning Centres include a Book Nook, Construction Area, Dramatic Play Area, Art and Craft Area, Cognitive Area and Motor Skills Area. The room also has a daily Music and Literacy group experience to enhance their interests.
