BABY ROOM
For many, this is where your family’s journey begins. Our Baby Room is a colourful and caring environment for little ones aged 3 months to 2 years.
Our Space
Our babies spend a lot of time outdoors, in a dedicated space that encourages exploration and learning. Amongst the sandpit, swing, wooden teepee and balancing equipment, there is always fun to be had! An interactive garden (featuring rosemary and flowers) is a regular favourite amongst the children, providing their first introduction to engaging with nature and learning about the environment.
Inside the Baby Room, your child will experience a range of engaging ‘corners’. From the ‘home corner’ and ‘rest & book corner’, to the imaginative play area and a spacious zone for free play, children are able to interact with the space in a way that suits their unique interests.
Play is our brain's favourite way of learning.

Play Based Learning
At Parkside Childcare, we follow a play-based learning approach, supported by intentional teaching and planned activities. Through this, we aim to create a holistic learning experience which builds on each child's unique abilities and interests. In addition to fostering creativity and imagination, our program focuses on developing essential self-help skills. Children learn to feed themselves using utensils, clean up after activities, wash their hands and faces, and develop other independent skills that support their growth and confidence.
Sleep
No matter if you have a catnapping king and queen, or a deep slumber enthusiast, our educators will help your little one get their rest in our separate, sleep-safe cot area. For children aged 18+ months, they transition to sleep on mats, with a focus on comfort and security. We will happily work with families and incorporate any sleep routine and soothing methods you use at home. During sleep and rest time, children are closely monitored, with regular checks every 5 minutes.
Meals
Our qualified and passionate full-time chef, Jade, cooks up a nutritious and age-appropriate menu for the children. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack are provided, and enjoyed either inside or outdoors. Your little one may be on breastmilk or formula, or only in the early days of their solids journey. Whatever stage your child is at, our team can follow your home routine and dietary wishes.
