At Acorn Acres, our approach to early childhood education is rooted in a blend of innovation and tradition. We embrace a play-based, emergent curriculum that adapts to each child's unique interests and developmental needs. This approach encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through hands-on, meaningful experiences.
At Acorn Acres, we are dedicated to providing a vibrant and nurturing environment where your child can thrive. Our approach centres around three key pillars: the Early Years Learning Framework, Play-Based Learning, and strong Community Connections. These elements are seamlessly woven into everything we do, sparking curiosity, building vital life skills, and instilling a lifelong love of learning in every child.
At Acorn Acres, we’re more than just a childcare centre – we’re a place where lifelong learning begins. Join us in nurturing your child’s curiosity, creativity, and love for learning. Together, we’ll build a foundation for their future success and happiness. Welcome to Acorn Acres – where every child’s journey is as unique and special as they are.
At Acorn Acres, we believe every child deserves to feel cherished and connected. From the moment they arrive, our warm and welcoming environment ensures your child feels secure and valued. Embracing the EYLF’s principles of Belonging, Being, and Becoming, we foster each child’s unique identity and support their journey of emotional, social, and intellectual growth, helping them thrive and build lasting relationships.
Fuel your child’s innate curiosity with our play-based and nature-focused approach. Our vibrant outdoor spaces and engaging activities spark imagination and critical thinking, allowing your child to explore, create, and problem-solve. Through hands-on experiences in our beautiful natural setting, children develop independence, wonder, and a deep connection to their environment.
We believe that the heart of learning beats strongest when families and communities come together. At Acorn Acres, we build meaningful partnerships with parents to provide exceptional care and education. We proudly honour the Gunaikurnai people, the Traditional Custodians of this land, weaving cultural respect and inclusivity into every aspect of our program. This fosters a deep appreciation for diversity and strengthens our community ties.
