Nursery One and Two – Next Generation School of Early Learning

Nursery One and Nursery Two

Our Class Program

Next Generation’s Nursery education and care rooms have 12 infants in our Nursery One Room and our Nursery Two Room.

In both our our Nursery rooms, the Group Leader has a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and the three assistants will have either a Certificate III or Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. We provide consistent educators in the nursery throughout the week and use the same pool of relief educators when our full-time educators are on annual leave or personal leave.

Your Child's Routine

When your infant attends either Nursery One or Nursery Two at Next Generation, their educators will follow the routine you have created for your child. We have an individual routine record for families to complete upon enrolment, this will be updated each time your child moves education and care rooms. This record is kept in your child’s education and care room for educators to reference when needed.

We understand that each day is different when caring for an infant so we also have a daily handover form on our Xplor App which is completed each morning by families in regards to the upcoming day for their infant. Our educators also record in real-time on Xplor your child’s eating, sleeping and nappy changes so you are aware of your child’s food/milk intake, sleep and nappy changes for the day.

Educational Programs

Educators in our Nursery rooms focus their pedagogies on attachment and early bonds with caregivers, viewing children as capable and competent learners, the importance of using senses to explore and play in young children. These stem from an understanding of Cognitive Development theorist Jean Piaget and Mary Ainsworth & John Bowlby.

We achieve this by building strong rapports with each child and family and encourage learning through play through a variety of sensory experiences.

Each child in both the Nursery rooms are observed on a regular basis and individual experience is planned for them. Their observations and planned experiences are kept in their individual learning journal which is available to be viewed at any time in the education and care room.
