Hepburn caters for children aged 2 - years. The legislated educator:child ratio is 1:5 for this age group. All Educators in Hepburn hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (or equivalent) and have each had 5+ years experience in the industry. Kany and Hazel are both at almost 10 years service within the centre. |
Our forest theme provides an arrange of greenery and a natural feel to the room. Display shelves are often changed to the focus within the room and the learning that we endeavour to achieve.
This room is always full of activity and chatter, with the children learning every day and navigating their way through the initial stages of independence and social interaction. The children in this age group are very much egocentric and towards the end of their time in this room will begin to form friendships, rather than playing alongside. It is an exciting and noisy time in the children's development.
Hepburn runs a Focus Book Program which occurs at 10:15 daily. This program gives children the chance to explore a variety of books and experiences which is paired. We also provide a progressive morning tea to meet the needs of the children. The children have enjoyed being able to pick their own fruit and the responsibility of their health and wellbeing.

Hepburn's outdoor space is an area to further develop gross motor skills, social and imaginative skills. While outdoors, we explore the natural environment and care for our chickens. There is a lovely sandpit with Bali Hut and decking area for children to explore.
