From birth, babies are primed and ready to soak up all the wonders life can offer. Every day is a brave new frontier and another opportunity to learn. Whether it’s moving, communicating or exploring their surroundings, their world is full of awe. What a privilege it is for us at New Leaf centres to help your child with this most important journey.
Unique Attention for Every Child
We aim to make the transition between home and our centre as seamless as possible. Your child will have his or her own special educator, or primary caregiver, who will be responsible for his or her care, activities and will support your child in feeling safe and secure in their new environment. Our educators work closely with you to find out about your home routine, your child’s sleep and feeding patterns. We’re also in constant communication with you as your child’s needs change. To support this critical and exciting stage of a baby’s development, we aim to provide a peaceful environment that is physically safe, cognitively challenging and emotionally nurturing through the sensitive observations of our caring and qualified Educators. On a practical note, we provide a sleeping nursery, crib/mat linen, cotton blankets, organic milk and healthy snacks. Of course, you can visit your child for cuddles during the day or to breastfeed – our open-door policy means you are welcome at any time.
A Safe Space for Growth
We take pride in providing the highest level of care. You can trust that your child is in good hands, with caregivers who understand their needs. Safety is our priority. We create a clean, safe, and enjoyable environment where infants and toddlers can grow up. We are here to support their development at every stage.
Toddler Program (2-3years)
What an incredible stage of development toddlerhood is. This curious, busy and energetic group of children are keen to take on challenges and develop their physical skills, sometimes at an astonishing rate. Our passionate Educators happily support them on this journey, guiding them and helping them form bonds and trust outside the home. Toddlers start to develop their independence at this age. As well as encouraging this important transition, we offer guidance on how to share, communicate with other children, and to participate in group activities.
Your child’s transition from being dependent to independent is strongly supported in areas such as toilet training, independence at meal times and following their Educator’s directions. Our Educators happily answer all the “why” questions and provide quality learning experiences that reflect your child’s current interests and gain feedback about your child, as change happens quickly.
