At Green Gables, our motto is: "Learning for Life." We are committed to providing children with the best possible start to life and working collaboratively with parents to best meet the needs of each child. Our educational programs equip children with knowledge and skills fundamental for success at school. Our nurturing and supportive environment ensures children develop essential social skills and abundant self-confidence which makes them active participants in their own learning and development. By incorporating Munch and Move into our daily curriculum children learn about a healthy and active lifestyle. The importance of physical wellbeing is embedded within our daily practices and are supported by our incredibly healthy menu. Meals are prepared on-site daily, from scratch and all natural ingredients, by our qualified chefs. Special attention is paid to ensure that the food is rich in protein, vegetables and calcium and low in salt, sugar and preservatives. The basis for our educational program is the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which emphasises five key learning goals for children: - a strong sense of their identity connections with their world - a strong sense of wellbeing confidence and involvement in their learning; and - effective communication skills. We are a family owned and operated Kindergarten and Pre-School that has continually served the local community since being established during the 1960's.
