Blue Gum

Our Blue Gum Room is for children aged 3 and until they go to school. Legal ratios in this age group are 1:11, however the room is regularly staffed with a lower child to educator ratio (1:8).

The Blue Gum room offers the same opportunities for children in this age group to develop and thrive as the Red Gum Room.

With an Early Childhood Teacher employed in our Blue Gum Room, a rich and engaging play-based curriculum is offered to children from the age of 3 until they transition to school.

Children are able to attend their preschool year at CSCCC through the Universal Access funding. Please phone us for further information.

The interconnecting rooms allow children to flow freely between experiences, interact with a wider range of children and work in a way which is developmentally appropriate for the individual. The Blue and Red Gum Rooms also share a spacious, natural, outdoor learning space and vegetable garden.

Our outdoor space is very large and offers space for children to dig in the sandpit, climb on our new climbing structure, ride bikes or spend time in the veggie garden. There is also opportunity for children to choose between outside and inside play where creative and quiet experiences are offered.

Be prepared for your child at this stage to experience big emotional development, begin to form genuine friendships, explode in their language acquisition, expand their physical skills, and take more risks in their play and learning. Educators are there every step of the way to offer guidance, support and encouragement as these children become increasingly independent and competent.

As children become developmentally ready, we offer opportunities and experiences that encourage and develop the skills needed to prepare them for a successful transition to school.
