Welcome to Shorebreakers
The building is located adjacent to the Pambula Public School in Monaro Street, Pambula, and purpose designed and equipped to comply with industry 'best practice' guidelines. It is comprised of four separate children's areas that cater for pre-school (4-6 year olds) , transition (3-4 year olds) , toddlers (2-3 year olds) and babies (0-2 year olds) . Adjacent to the baby's room is a bottle preparation area and separate baby change room. All play rooms open out on to a large covered veranda where transition activities are set up leading out on to the playground . A feature of the equipment available is a network of 'state of the art educational computers that will allow the pre-school children to be introduced to computer technology and the after school children to continue with their computer studies. This is of-course additional to the provision of a wonderful range of toys and equipment and the large well-equipped playground . READ MORE
The Programme
To ensure that the educational program reflects the interests of the children, staff and parents our program is based on Emergent Curriculum. Emergent Curriculum emphasises the planning needs that emerge from the children and adults as they work together through out the day.
Within emergent curriculum the children's interests become the basis of the educational program, which allows the focus of the program to change as the children's interests change, develop and mature. To cater for the natural spontaneity of children, the program is completed on a daily basis rather than weekly or monthly.
Emergent Curriculum arises from the children's interests, the environment, resource material, living together, teacher interests, the community, unexpected events and from the values and cultures of the children and staff. When the program draws on the personal experience of the children it will become more meaningful and their interests will be prolonged.
