Each learning space in a 360 Early Education service is considered holistically. Our environments are inclusive and we celebrate diversity and make adjustments to remove barriers where ever we can.

Babies
Even before your baby starts to crawl, they are explorers at 360. In environments that invite sensory play and activity, babies will discover, build connections, and grow!
Our priority in the Babies room is ensuring consistency between each baby’s home life and their time at the service. We place strong emphasis on secure attachments and emotional wellbeing. As children progress between learning environments from birth to 3 years, we aim to ensure that the same group of educators remains with the same group of children. We follow a primary caregiver model, which nurtures relationships between a child, a family, and a specific educator. By maintaining consistency, we acknowledge that attachment is a fundamental ingredient for healthy brain development. Strong attachments lead to a strong sense of identity and a sense of security which increases very young children’s willingness to explore and learn…
Every element of our environment is carefully considered; with colour, light, texture, sound and scent intentionally incorporated. If you decide this could be the right centre for your family, and a position is available the infants room, you’ll see this for yourself when you come in to spend time in the room with us. You’ll teach us about your child and family, and we’ll share our programs, plans, knowledge and experience with you.
Our babies have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities including our Beyond the Classroom Curriculum, Munch Masterclasses and Imagination Library Literacy Program.
Our fees are inclusive of morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, late snack, nappies, cot sheets and sunscreen.
Toddlers
Our toddler room provides a tangible hands-on approach, with engaging routines utilising real-life resources that allow toddlers to discover how the world works, and how they can influence their environment. We understand that toddlerhood is a time rich in transitions and we strive to support families and children as these skills emerge and develop. Our toddlers have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities including our Beyond the Classroom Curriculum, Munch Masterclasses and Imagination Library Literacy Program.
Toddlerhood is a time of discovery and rapid learning; did you know that a three year old has over 1000 trillion connections in their brain? Our model of intentional teaching will see you partnering closely with the educators in the room to set goals, celebrate achievements and build your child’s understanding of how the world works. Even in toddlerhood, children will be supported with emotion coaching, independent self care and have a voice that is taken seriously in our programs!
Our fees are inclusive of morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, late snack, nappies and sunscreen.
