Our Rooms

Posted by admin
The centre has two home rooms: The Lake Room and the Ocean Room. Both rooms are set up to provide stimulating and engaging experiences and interactions, integrating a variety of skills and interests into each experience. Children are offered a variety of choices that provokes them to engage in activities while encouraging them to explore a wide range of materials. There are many opportunities for children to represent and explore ideas using a multitude of media. Thoughtfully organised learning centres in each room  allow children to revisit equipment daily, building upon skills and developing knowledge. There are also periods of more structured, formal learning experiences that involve the children as a group.
Each learning centre is equipped and designed age appropriately to allow the children to self select materials to enhance their current interests. Provisions are made for moments of tranquillity and solitude, thought and reflection, collaboration and teamwork, exploration and movement.This enables children to develop and enhance social skills through interactions with peers, as well as allowing a retreat for quiet, individual activities. Our different types of learning experiences means that the individual learning styles of the children are catered for, thus ensuring a well rounded and  holistic developmental approach,with children learning  at their own developmental level.The Lake Room (2-3 Years)

  Lake Room

  
The Lake Room is specifically set up to meet the needs of our busy, competent, active and dynamic toddlers. The secure, welcoming atmosphere allows the children to explore their environment, whilst catering for their natural curiosity and high level of energy. With learning centres that cover all areas of child development, the Lake Room is always a hive of activity, with the children actively engaged and learning the skills needed to reach their full potential, reach their developmental milestones and have fun.

 

The Ocean Room

The Ocean Room caters for our 3-5 year olds, and includes a full pre-school and school readiness programme. With a broad range of activities that allows each child to put their skills, knowledge and ideas into practice. Children are allowed to choose from activities that cover all areas of early childhood development, whilst given the opportunity to use their new found independence. We have two formal group times (music and movement, language and literacy). In addition to this, there is also a school readiness group time for those children who start “big school” the following year.  Our daily calendar helps teach about the days, weeks, months, weather and seasons. The children have their own “Sign In Sheet”, and have significant input into the activities provided. This ensures a real sense of belonging, and fosters a high self esteem and sense of self worth. Children are given opportunities to cintribute their own ideas for the programme.All of this is included in each fun-filled day!

 

Our Outdoor Environment

At Arcadia Vale Care and Early Education Centre, we view  our outdoor area as an integral part of our learning environment. Outdoor play allows children to explore their surroundings., develop and enhance motor skills, use up energy and learn about he natural world. Our outdoor environment fosters each child’s individual abilities and current stage of development, whilst encouraging social skills and peer friendships. The range of outdoor equipment, freestanding obstacle courses and climbing structures, , and varying construction, creative and cognitive resources  supports children’s exploration and holistic development .The area also incorporates  permanent structures including  cubbyhouse , sandpit and children’s vegetable garden.There is also an outdoor art/craft experience each day.
