Programs Tailored for Every Age Group
We understand that children at different stages of life have different needs. That’s why we offer carefully crafted programs that cater to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, ensuring that each child gets the attention and education they need at their developmental stage.
Infant Care (6 Weeks to 2 Years)
The earliest years of life are critical for brain development. In our infant care program, we focus on nurturing these budding minds through sensory play and age-appropriate interactions. Our staff is trained to provide a safe and loving environment, ensuring your baby’s needs are met with the utmost care.
Toddler Program (2 to 3 Years)
Toddlers are naturally curious, and our program encourages that curiosity. With activities designed to foster early language development, social skills, and motor skills, we help your child explore the world around them. Our toddler room is filled with stimulating toys, books, and creative play opportunities to keep their minds engaged.
Preschool Program (3 to 5 Years)
In preparation for formal schooling, our preschool program focuses on structured learning. Children are introduced to early literacy, numeracy, science, and art through fun, hands-on activities. We aim to develop independent thinking, social cooperation, and problem-solving abilities, laying a strong foundation for future academic success.
After-School and Holiday Programs
For parents with older children, we offer after-school care and holiday programs packed with enriching activities. These programs are designed to provide a safe, fun environment while helping children build new skills and friendships.
A Typical Day at Mascot Child Care Centre
At Mascot Child Care Centre, no two days are exactly the same, but each day is filled with excitement and learning.
- Morning Welcome and Free Play: Each day starts with a warm welcome from our friendly staff. Afterward, children engage in free play, giving them the opportunity to choose activities that spark their interests.
- Group Time and Learning: After free play, children gather for structured group activities. This could be storytime, singing, or circle time, where they learn new concepts and socialize with their peers.
- Outdoor Exploration: Physical activity is crucial for a child’s development. We have spacious, secure outdoor areas where children can play, explore, and participate in group games.
- Healthy Meals and Snacks: Nutritious meals and snacks are provided throughout the day. We emphasize balanced, healthy eating to support children’s physical growth and well-being.
- Afternoon Rest and Creative Play: After lunch, children wind down with some rest or nap time. In the afternoon, they engage in more creative play, such as arts and crafts or imaginative games, helping to develop fine motor skills and creativity.
Technology in Early Learning
In today’s world, digital literacy is an important aspect of learning, even for young children. At Mascot Child Care Centre, we incorporate technology in an age-appropriate manner, allowing children to become familiar with interactive learning tools. However, we ensure that screen time is balanced with physical activities, social interactions, and traditional learning methods.
Social and Emotional Development
At Mascot Child Care Centre, we don’t just focus on cognitive development—we place equal importance on social and emotional growth. Children are encouraged to develop positive relationships, express their emotions constructively, and resolve conflicts with guidance. These skills are essential in fostering resilience and self-regulation, preparing them for the challenges of later life.
Parent Involvement: A Partnership for Success
We believe that a child’s education is a partnership between the centre and the parents. We keep parents updated on their child’s progress through regular reports, parent-teacher meetings, and an open-door policy. Your insights into your child’s personality, likes, and dislikes help us tailor our approach to meet their unique needs. We also provide workshops and resources for parents, helping you stay engaged in your child’s development.
