Extra Activities

Language Program

Right now, your child is in the inside of their Golden Age of Learning. The window for your child to acquire a foreign language as quickly as they can now, begins to close at 6 years of age. The 3 – 5 years room is exposed to Spanish, Italian, Korean, Japanese and Irish native-speaking teachers at Lane Cove Learning Centre every week. To reinforce and consolidate the children’s learning, Lane Cove staffs have the centre children learn words and phrases from these languages on a daily basis. Mainly this is through the songs, art, and games learnt during the lessons, to make sure it’s all fun and ‘play-based’.

Letterland - Successfully teaching your child to read and write

Letterland is a unique, phonics based approach to teaching, reading, writing and spelling for 3-8 year olds. Letterland provides a link between letter sounds and letter shapes.

At Lane Cove Early Learning Centre we believe it is essential that our preschool children are given a solid foundation in phonics before moving to primary school. Letterland helps to build this foundation in a unique play based way.

Your preschool child has free access to computers at Lane Cove Early Learning Centre. This well established and successful system will help teach your child
• to listen and use spoken language
• explore and experiment with language
• sustain attentive listening and respond to what they have heard
• extend their vocabulary and explore the meaning of sounds and new words
• hear and say initial sounds and words
• link sounds to letters, name sounds and letters of the alphabet
• know that print carries meaning and is read from left to right 

At Lane Cove Early Learning Centre we like to encourage our staff to utilize their skills and talents that they have in other areas of interest other than the childcare industry, this giving them the opportunity to engage the children in extra curricular activities that they also have a passion in.
