      General Info

      An extraordinary life of unlimited opportunities begins with us.

      MORE THAN JUST CHILDCARE! We understand the importance of a child's early years and aim to develop confidence, self-esteem and emotional resilience in all children. We strive to create environments that inspire children to be active participants in their learning. At Skippy’s, play-based learning is supported by highly trained early childhood educators who create an environment that encourages exploration, creativity and learning through play. Our educators recognise that each child is unique and has their own way of learning, so they provide a variety of play-based activities that cater to different learning styles. Skippy’s provide an engaging and stimulating environment for children to learn through play.

      Our Curriculum As part of our care and education program, we develop Creative Memory Journals to document each child's learning and development journey. Creative Memory Journals (CMJ) are a collection of observations, samples of your child's work/achievements and anecdotes of your child's experiences and learning at Skippy's Early Learning Centres. CMJ's become a story of your child's developmental journey demonstrating skills they have developed, telling stories of play situations and highlighting interactions and friendships.

      Our Education Program - Numeracy & Literacy Our educators expose children to stimulating literacy and numeracy environments and support them as they begin to associate sounds with letters of the alphabet. We understand that this alphabetic principle is very important for our children as it is the foundation in learning to read, write and spell. We expose children to print in their environment in magazines, posters, catalogues and books and we talk about words which have the same letters.

      QLD Government Approved Kindergarten Program Skippy's offers a QLD Government approved kindergarten program delivered by a qualified Early Childhood teacher for eligible children in their year prior to attending Prep. Along with the recommended learning framework of the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline, our program includes our own designed School Readiness curriculum and the Write2Spell2Read Program. Write2Spell2Read authored by Sam Woods, a Rockhampton based OT and Certified Neurodevelopment Therapist is a multi-sensory program.
