SUPPORT YOUR CHILD’S EARLY DEVELOPMENT AT OUR WARM AND NURTURING NURSERY SCHOOL | ALKIMOS SCHOOL OF EARLY LEARNING
6 weeks to the age of 2 years
Our babies room caters for children from the ages of 6 weeks to the age of 2 years, with transitions commencing shortly before. The babies room is designed to create a calming, nurturing environment for your child to develop their intellectual, physical, social, and emotional skills. Every child is their own individual and has different interests and needs, and routines will be followed as much as possible to allow your child to feel comfortable, familiar, and secure.
Located in the heart of Alkimos, our baby daycare offers group and individual experiences that are planned around children's routines, where children build on their social interactions and develop language skills. We provide a range of activities in our nursery rooms, where children can explore and develop their skills and senses. These include painting with a variety of media using our hands and feet to explore surfaces and how things feel different.
We encourage children to build on their self-help skills through hand washing, feeding, activities, and playtime.
If you are considering enrolling your baby in our daycare service in Alkimos, we recommend coming in for orientation/play sessions with your child to ensure they tour the centre and become more familiar and comfortable with their new surroundings and educators. This will allow for a smooth transition into care.
Our Baby Daycare Services
At Alkimos School of Early Learning, our nursery rooms are thoughtfully designed to support a wide range of baby daycare services, providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your child’s early development.
Infant Care (6 weeks to 6 months)
The first few months of a baby's life are both precious and critical. Our infant care services are tailored to offer a nurturing and stimulating environment that meets the unique needs of every baby.
Personalised Routines
We understand that every baby is different. Our passionate educators work closely with parents to ensure that each infant's feeding, sleeping, and diapering routines are consistently maintained.
Tummy Time & Sensory Play
Ensuring the right physical development is crucial at this stage. We incorporate daily tummy time sessions to strengthen your baby's neck, back, and shoulder muscles. Additionally, our sensory play activities are designed to engage your baby’s developing senses, promoting cognitive growth.
Safe Sleep Practices
At our baby daycare in Alkimos, your baby's safety is our top priority. We adhere to the latest guidelines for safe sleeping, ensuring that babies are placed on their backs in cribs free from toys, guarding rails, and blankets.
Baby Care (6 months to 12 months)
Our baby care program
As babies grow, their curiosity knows no bounds. Our baby care program is designed to foster that innate sense of wonder, all while ensuring they continue to receive the love and care they deserve.
Introduction to Solid Foods
With guidance from pediatric nutrition guidelines and parental preferences, we introduce babies to a variety of healthy solid foods to ensure a smooth transition from a liquid diet.
Motor Skill Development Activities
Whether it's crawling, standing, or taking those first few steps, our caregivers provide opportunities for babies to enhance their physical development through a range of fun and safe activities.
Language and Sound Exploration
Through songs, rhymes, and interactive storytelling, we encourage babies to explore the world of sounds and kickstart their linguistic journey.
Toddler Care (12 months to 18 months)
Stepping into toddlerhood
Stepping into toddlerhood, children are full of energy and eager to explore. Our toddler nursery school in Alkimos provide a structured environment where they can learn, play, and thrive.
Independent Play & Group Interactions
We promote both individual nature play – allowing toddlers to explore at their own pace – and group activities that teach sharing, patience, and other social skills.
Basic Language Development
By 18 months, many toddlers can speak several words. Our caregivers engage them with age-appropriate books, simple conversations, and activities to enrich their vocabulary and lay the foundation for their early education.
Structured Playtime and Nap Routines
Balance is key at this stage. While we offer plenty of play and learning activities, we also ensure toddlers get adequate rest through a consistent nap routine in a calm setting.
Safety and Hygiene
Health and safety
The health and safety of every child is our utmost priority. We have gone to great lengths to ensure our Alkimos nursery facility is not only a place of learning and growth but also a secure environment where parents can feel confident about their children's well-being.
Premises Monitoring
Our facility has 24/7 surveillance cameras, ensuring constant monitoring of all indoor and outdoor spaces. Secure access points ensure that only authorised personnel and parents can enter our premises.
Emergency Protocols
All our staff members are trained in first aid, CPR, and emergency evacuation procedures. Regular drills are conducted to ensure everyone knows their role in the event of unforeseen situations.
Child-Proofing
Every corner of our centre, from play areas to nap spaces, is child-proofed. Sharp corners, electrical outlets, and potential hazards have been meticulously addressed to ensure maximum safety.
Child Care Subsidy
