Room Details and Transitions

Each room caters for selected age brackets to ensure all children are in groups where the program and resources best suit their development and learning.

When it is appropriate to move to an older age group, the centre will consult with families to ensure the transition process is stress free for both the child and family. The decision to move a child to the next room is based on the individual child's development and their current friendships.

Children “visit” their new room for a short play and gradually the length of their “play visits” are increased as the staff observe the child's reactions. Parents will be given feedback on how the transition is progressing and when their child will start in the new room.
As the year passes, the average age of each group of children obviously increases. As this occurs the staff in the room ensures the program they are providing is appropriate for this age group of children.
