A multicultural environment with various cultures respected and integrated into daily activities and programs.

Each room has a weekly program prepared by trained Early Childhood Teachers. The programs and activities provided offer each child experiences that are appropriate to their stages of development, including a school readiness program for children in their final year prior to entering kindergarten at school. The school readiness program focuses on pre reading, pre writing, pre maths, pre science, music, creative arts and language development, all the building blocks required for future learning and getting ready for “big school” emotionally. Our Centres are fully licensed by the NSW Department of Community Services (DoCS) and registered with the National Childcare Accreditation Council (NCAC).

Our Philosophy

As our name suggests, Building Blocks believe that children learn through a variety of educational experiences that include respect, fun, nurturance, discovery and investigation.

Building Blocks Philosophy has been established to ensure all team members provide consistent high quality care to the children who are spending their time at our service. The Philosophy is a work in progress. We believe that this will be added to, improved, expanded upon and revised at various intervals. We welcome additions and contributions by parents and team members to our philosophy. Parents are also invited to participate in making of and the revision of Building Blocks Early Childhood Learning Centres policies. Team Members are encouraged to work with parents to ensure they understand the values and attitudes we place on the importance of their child’s learning and development.
