Our Education

Backhouse provides a nurturing, caring and safe environment for babies to learn, grow and develop with a responsive curriculum. Our qualified educators attune to each child’s cues, building secure and trusting relationships which provide the framework for infant development. Babies learn with and alongside educators, their family and community.

In the Crawley room, educators develop rich and responsive relationships with each child as they explore their world. Our qualified educators recognise the richness of play as the core of children’s learning and their engagement in authentic, meaningful experiences. Children at this age are competent and capable learners and are supported to make new discoveries, solve problems, explore and deepen their understandings.

Play is a catalyst for children’s learning. As educators in Garvey play with and alongside the children, they are actively involved in progressing their learning, engaging them with making decisions and actively inviting family involvement. Plans emerge continuously as the children and educators together co-construct opportunities. Our qualified educators propose deliberate, thoughtful and purposeful actions and responses to extend the children’s learning intentionally.

At Brookes Street Education, we employ a four-year university-trained early childhood teacher to implement the approved Kindergarten program, providing a quality educational program for preschool children. The Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines guide our planning and evaluation of children’s learning. They provide a basis for ensuring that our child-centred program, intentional teaching, relationships and practices and provide children with the optimum environment for learning.
