Our Rooms at Rouse Hill
Yellow Room
(0-2 years)
Our educators aim to create a loving, caring and safe environment with a homely environment for your little one. The outdoor environment fosters the children’s sense of exploration and encourages physical and sensory attributes.
The Yellow Room provides nappies, cot sheets and food from Kids Gourmet Kitchen that caters to your child’s developing tastes!
Red Room (3-4)
The Red Room children enjoy a large outdoor environment with a bike track and large sandpit. There is plenty of natural grass to kick a ball, challenge themselves to complete the obstacle course or develop their imagination on the large stage hut.
The Red room children participate in group times throughout the day to develop 'turn taking', receptive and expressive language skills and build their confidence.
Green Room
(2-3 years)
Our Green Room children are encouraged to develop their independence and confidence, whilst being supported and encouraged by their caring educators.
The Green room has a lovely shaded play area, with protective rubber surfacing.
Our large sandpit is a popular experience to foster their sensory awareness, whilst riding around on the small bikes. Both the indoor and outdoor environments are planned to foster the children’s interests and physical needs, but also to challenge their overall development.
Early Learning Centre (4-5)
questionsThe ELC consists of 4 rooms of 20 children with 2 committed educators in each room, one being a university qualified early childhood teacher.
