SouthportEarly Learning

Southport Early Learning sees the environment as the third educator, and understands that a quality environment responds to the many ways in which children learn, grow and develop.

The warm and inviting environment of the centre lets children and families know that they are welcome, with an aesthetically pleasing, ordered, peaceful space designed to support children's play and stimulate dynamic teaching.

There is plenty of space for children to run, jump, be loud and enjoy hands-on experiences — as well as spaces of beauty, and quiet areas to unwind and rest.

• Sustainability — at the heart of the centre. Research shows that the earlier children connect with nature and learn about their impact on the environment, the more likely they are to be environmentally responsible as adults. The centre is governed by a sustainability policy with embedded everyday practices.
• Language program — weekly Japanese lessons with Ms Masako through the Hello Tomodachi Japanese language program, with cultural activities, music, games, stories and singing, plus basic Japanese (counting, body parts, colours and more).
• Fitness program — the Happy Feet program focuses on movement, dance, and the joy of active play, with a new themed adventure each week in a non-competitive, happy environment where every child can learn, laugh and grow.
• Sports program — the Ginger Sports soccer program, where children build self-confidence and learn about teamwork in a fun and welcoming space.
• Regular excursions & incursions — experiences that engage children with the local community and give them a sense of belonging.
