At Scallywags we provide early learning education and care for children between 6 months and school age. Our roster ensures that your child has familiar educators each morning and evening helping them to be comfortable.
The Hatchlings Room: 6 weeks - 2 years
Catering to our youngest age group, our Hatchlings room offers a nurturing environment where educators tailor the program around the individual routines and schedules of the children.
With a ratio of 1 educator to every 4 children. Our sleep room offers a quiet space attached to the main play room where your child can be safely monitored during their rest times.
Our spacious room and yard give our youngest the space to explore and develop and the opportunity to develop relationships with educators in the next age room.
The Triceratops Room: 15 months – 2 years
Moving into the next room, the ratio continues as 1 educator to every 4 children.
Children in this room often experience a lot of firsts – toilet training, being responsible for their belongings, playing with other children rather than beside them.
Our Triceratops room educators will patiently assist your child as their self-help and negotiating skills emerge and share the details of their triumphs with you.
The Raptor Room: 2 years to 3 years
Moving to this room is often referred to as “moving to the big end.”
Not only are children changing rooms, they are also changing into the big yard. Moving to this room is an exciting moment for the children and they enjoy their transitioning visits prior to commencing.
The ratio of 1 educator to every 5 children allows for greater supervision of children who are toilet training and nappy changing facilities are also available. A beautiful room with the outdoor art area situated just outside their door.
The T-Rex Room: 3 years to 4 years
Developing an awareness of environmental responsibility is a key focus within this room and preparing them for their future transition to the kindergarten room.
In this age group, we have 1 educator present for every 11 children over the age of 3 and 1 educator for every 5 children for those under 3.
The Kindergarten Room: 4 years to school age
This is our Kindergarten room. Our Government Approved Kindergarten Program runs during Queensland school terms and offers children access to a qualified early childhood teacher in the year prior to Prep.
Our teacher and experienced room assistant develop a program based on the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.
Each year there is a graduation ceremony to celebrate your child’s progression from kindergarten to school.
