Celebrating Early Learning Matters Week at Scotts Road Childcare in Darra
At Scotts Road Childcare in Darra, we see the power of early learning every single day. The first five years are a time of incredible growth – shaping confidence, curiosity and a love of learning that lasts well beyond the early years.
Early Learning Matters Week is a national celebration that shines a spotlight on just how important these years are. It’s a reminder of the value of high-quality early learning for children, families and communities.
Why early learning matters at Scotts Road
Early learning is woven into everything we do at Scotts Road Childcare. Each program is designed to create meaningful opportunities for children to explore, create and grow.
Through play, children test ideas, solve problems and develop essential skills.
Through relationships, they build trust, resilience and confidence.
Through rich experiences, they expand their language, thinking and social awareness.
These moments may look like fun – and they are – but they are also building the foundation for lifelong learning.
How learning happens in our programs
At Scotts Road, learning doesn’t happen in a single moment or lesson. It’s in the everyday experiences children engage in throughout our programs:
Outdoor exploration builds physical skills, risk awareness and connection to nature
Creative arts and dramatic play encourage imagination, self-expression and problem-solving
Group discussions and storytelling grow vocabulary, listening skills and social confidence
Hands-on projects develop persistence, curiosity and collaboration
These experiences are guided by educators who understand that learning is most powerful when it feels meaningful and enjoyable for each child.
Families as partners in early learning
Early Learning Matters Week is also a celebration of families. At Scotts Road, families are partners in the journey. Every story shared at home, every question explored together and every curiosity encouraged builds on what children experience at the centre.
By working together, we create a learning environment that extends beyond the walls of Scotts Road Childcare and supports every child to thrive.
Celebrating Early Learning Matters Week at Scotts Road
While Early Learning Matters Week is an important national campaign, the principles behind it are part of what we do all year. Our programs at Scotts Road are designed to give children the best possible start – nurturing confident, capable learners who are ready for the next stage of their journey.
