YOUR KINDY ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE!
WELCOME TO ROBERTSON STREET KINDY
We aim to create an educationally progressive yet home-like environment at our small (42 place) independent long daycare centre in Helensburgh. We have the time and space to genuinely engage, listen and respond to the needs of each child. It's a place where children trust our dedicated educators, finding security in the predictability of our routines. We take great pride in our community's high regard for us and in being rated as "Exceeding" against the National Quality Standards.
Here, everyone – families, educators, and management – has a voice in shaping a joyful play-based learning community. Our organisational structure is intentionally small and clear, built upon extensive experience and personal pride in the work we do. Parents often remark on how well-adjusted, socialised, and prepared their pre-schoolers are for their journey into school life.
OUR ROOMS
As committed owners for 22 years, we are dedicated to providing high quality childcare across our two rooms, and supporting a stable team of professionally qualified educators, including Early Childhood Teachers, Diplomas, Cert III, and trainees. We employ more than ratios require which means there are always familiar faces for the children.
Possum Room
The Possum Room for 2-3 year olds – capped at 15 children – is the “bridge” between home and school where we nurture their rapid development. We guide each individual through toilet training, sharing, language, first friends, sleep and rest, gross motor skills and fine motor skills, but above all create a warm, secure environment.
Wallaby Room
The Wallaby Room for 3 years to school age is capped at 27-30 children with lots of choice of free play activities, plus a more structured preschool learning curriculum based on the Early Years Learning Framework.
Extension Activities and Inclusion Support are available to support each child's learning goals.
Learning, Development & Wellbeing
All age groups have individually tailored learning across indoor and outdoor programs. A varied selection of age-appropriate activities is provided in both programs.
We introduce a broad range of “beginnings” in literacy, science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics, news, spoken language, sustainability, along with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives.
Throughout the year we welcome a variety of educational entertainers, highlighting:
- Music
- Health and nutrition
- Fire brigade/ambulance roles
- Indigenous performers and world cultural experiences
- Chick incubators and insect pods
- Soccajoeys and ReadySteadyGoKids.
Educators observe each child’s learning so they can build on it and plan the next steps in partnership with families. Listening, watching and talking to each child enables us to record their progress in Storypark. This is an easy-to-use private online service which uses photos and stories to share “what happened at kindy” with families.
Before each child starts school, educators prepare a Transition to School report for families and for their primary school teachers.
