Our Centre<\/h1><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”2.6em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]At Sandgate Kids Brighton Road, we build our programs with the belief that children learn through play, exploring the world around them and finding their own place in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our program includes the opportunity for a combination of self-initiated and planning experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our play-based curriculum is developed using the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)<\/a> which is founded on the same belief \u2013 children learn through play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our programs are well-structured and flexible enough to manage the developmental levels and interests of each child.<\/span><\/p>\n

No child goes hungry, here! Every day our children are given delicious and nutritious meals prepared by our own, in-house cook. This means we can continually monitor the food quality and variety and we can easily cater for children with special dietary needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our centre is open from 6.30am to 6pm each weekday.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_mobile=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column]

Why play is important<\/h1><\/div>[vc_row_inner content_placement=”top”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”3em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]We realise how important it is to encourage children to play. It\u2019s not just about fun; it\u2019s about learning. Through play, we can give our children some lifelong skills such as learning to play nicely with others, wait their turn, and negotiate with their peers.<\/span><\/p>\n

These skills are the foundation of a healthy, happy and productive life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research shows that play is an integral part of a child\u2019s growth and development.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”3em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_mobile=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”3em” alter_height=”none” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
