Our service
We have two rooms – 0 to 3 years and preschool room for 3 to 5 year olds. The outdoor program includes mixed age groups where children play together with older and younger children and allow siblings to play together. However, we also have a dedicated outdoor space for the 0 to 2 years children.
Our service proudly embraces the Munch & Move program, promoting healthy eating, active play, and overall well-being for every child. Our natural environment supports children’s learning through exploration and sensory play. The outdoor area contains sandpits, outdoor play kitchen, a water pump, deck and undercover play areas. Indoor and outside programs are carefully planned based on children’s interests, strengths and needs.

How our team can support your child
At Alunga, our in-house Child and Family Practitioner specialises in Circle of Security and Attachment Theory, supporting families in strengthening their child’s learning potential. She is also available to provide referrals as needed.
Our early childhood educators apply the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF V.02) to create meaningful, play-based learning experiences that support each child’s development and well-being.
Transition to School program
At ECTARC, we ensure a smooth and confident transition to primary school by fostering essential skills in social development, independence, and early literacy and numeracy. Our play-based learning approach encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and resilience, helping children develop the confidence they need for their next big step. As part of preparing children for school, our educators are skilled in 3a Abecedarian approach which provides strategies that foster children’s language development from early childhood to preschool. Regular excursions to Albion Park Public School help make the transition to school smoother, ensuring children feel comfortable and confident in their new environment. With the support of our experienced educators, your child will enter school equipped with a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
