Baby Room - Kurtakas

Supporting every child’s learning journey

Baby Room - Kurtakas (0-2 years)

The Baby room(Kurtakas) at Warradale Community Children’s Centre provides a calm, secure and nurturing environment for children aged 0 to 2 years. At this early stage of development, strong relationships and consistent routines are essential, and our educators focus on building trusting connections with each child. Daily experiences are guided by individual needs, including sleep routines, feeding times and developmental milestones, ensuring every child feels supported and understood.

The space is thoughtfully arranged to allow babies and young toddlers to explore safely at their own pace. Soft areas for rest, sensory play experiences and age appropriate resources encourage movement, discovery and early communication. Educators observe closely and respond to each child’s cues, supporting emerging skills such as crawling, walking, language and social interaction in a gentle and responsive way.

Curriculum

Early Years Learning Framework.

At Warradale Community Children’s Centre we use the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) to extend and enrich your child’s learning from birth to five years and throughout their transition to school.

This learning is documented in a portfolio on Storypark that will stay with them throughout their time at Warradale. You will still be able to access this when your child finishes care with us.

We aim to work in Partnership with you the family and the local community to engage your child actively in their environment. We will identify your child’s strengths and interests and choose appropriate teaching strategies to facilitate learning through play.

We as educators give priority to nurturing relationships and provide children with consistent emotional support. We call this primary care giving.

When you arrive in the room

Sign your child in using the iPad.
Put any bottles your child needs in the fridge.
Put your child’s bag in the named tray provided.
Ensure that your child has a suitable hat in the ‘hat pockets’ or in their bag.
Next to the iPad is a communication book in which you can write down any information of a general nature about your child. We also encourage you to verbally communicate any messages about your child to the educators.

Reminders

Please make sure your child’s dummies bottles and clothes are clearly labelled, this helps reduce the chance of mix ups occurring.
As per our sun safe policy we apply sunscreen for outside play, please ensure your child has clothing that protects their shoulders from the sun – No shoe string dresses or tank tops.
The centre provides all the food your child needs throughout the day except bottles, these should be made up, named and stored in our refrigerator. Bottles are heated in bottle warmers NOT MICROWAVE.
Breast milk is most welcome and can be safely heated this way.
Please don’t bring any food into the centre to protect children who have allergies. Arrangements can be made for children with special dietary needs.
You are most welcome to phone us during the day to ask how your child is or pass on any forgotten information.

Family Photos

Family photos are valuable for strengthening the connection between home and care and add to children’s sense of belonging: We would like every child to have one; some ideas for them are photos of extended family, pets, parents /carers at work, family celebrations, your child’s outside activities e.g. kinder- gym, swimming etc.

Please ask Lauren or your child’s primary care giver if you would like more ideas, we are happy to laminate them for you and even put it together if you can’t find the time.

What to bring each day

In a small bag or backpack please supply the following:

Bottles, dummies and comforters.
A named sun hat.
At least one complete change of clothes

Our Testimonials

My family absolutely love this childcare centre. The staff are warm, kind and caring and have been retained for many years so the children have consistency in their carers. We love that our daughter is assigned one primary carer amongst the class who is our main point of contact and therefore in touch with our daughter's personal development needs. We cannot speak highly enough of Kayla who is so attentive with excellent communication! This centre has a great community vibe and a positive welcoming feel when you walk through the door. We tried a few other private centres before moving to WCCC, while the private centres looked appealing being shiny and new their staff, attitude and environment cannot compete with WCCC. Our daughter hated the other centres and cried everyday going there but from day one she fell in love with WCCC and became excited about going to childcare!

Love, love, love this centre. From day 1 my son has come home happy. At pickup I used to often find him sitting in a staff member's lap, which assured me that if he needed attention during the day, he received it promptly. The staff are all excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what they do. I really value the community feel of this centre, and that parents can be on the management committee. And my son loves the food that Roni provides. Couldn't ask for a better place to help develop my child.

My son has attended the Warradale Centre since he was 8 months old and he is now ready to leave for school. He has had incredible years at the centre and it was always encouraged to learn and to be himself. The centre has great educators and I highly recommend it.

Having toured a number of new centres on the area, we chose Warradale CCC for our daughter as it had large open outdoor spaces, specifically designed to suit the needs of each age group. The staff nurture and encourage each child’s social and emotional development through play based learning. Our daughter actively participates in setting the room up for lunch and helps by cleaning her space at the end of her meal. We love that her independence is encouraged and she bring much of this learning home. Quiet and calm routines after lunch allow for children to relax, rest and sleep. We are so glad we found Warradale CCC. Our daughter never puts up a fight to get in the car when she knows we are going to childcare.
