Inspired by Curiosity. Grounded in Research. Tailored for Every Child.
At Greenleaf Early Learning Centre, our curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child — supporting their physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and language development from infancy through to school age.
Rooted in the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) — Belonging, Being and Becoming — our approach is child-led, play-based, and enriched by strong family and community partnerships.
A Personalised Journey of Growth
We recognise that every child is unique. That is why our educators observe, listen, and respond to each child’s interests, strengths, and developmental needs. Our curriculum supports
- A strong sense of identity
- Confidence as an active learner
- Respectful and secure relationships
- Effective communication skills
- A connection with and contribution to their world

What Makes Our Curriculum Special?
Evidence-Based Foundations
Inspired by globally respected approaches such as Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Project-Based Learning, combined with Australian standards and research.
Wellbeing at the Centre
Our educators intentionally foster children’s mental health and emotional regulation. Through routines, storytelling, and role play, children learn to understand feelings, build friendships, and express themselves confidently.
STEM, Music, Creative Arts & Nature Play
Children engage in a rich variety of learning domains – from experimenting in our STEM corners and enjoying music and movement, to outdoor exploration in our veggie garden and play spaces.
Family Collaboration
We partner with families to create continuity of learning and care. Daily updates, progress stories, and shared celebrations ensure that parents stay connected every step of the way.
School Readiness, Every Day
At Greenleaf, we believe that preparing for school starts from day one. Through our dedicated school readiness program, children develop the independence, confidence, and foundational skills needed to thrive in formal schooling and life beyond.
