FGA Seashells Childcare Centre Smiths Lake

At FGA we strongly believe that “All children deserve the best start in life to create a better future for themselves and for the nation.” The FGA educational program’s goals and outcomes align closely with the Australian Early Learning Framework “EYLF”. Our enriched Child Care Curriculum is designed to address all areas of child development and provide them with an opportunity to expand their learning experiences and be active participants in their environment.

Our enriched learning curriculum is academically focused, with emphasis on all developmental areas. The program is executed through implementing the best early childhood education practices and is refined with the latest research in behavioural and developmental sciences. It features a unique partnership of core subjects (such as Reading and Math), life skills and fine arts (such as music, movement) providing children with the freedom to learn and grow through play.

School readiness means each child enters school ready to engage in and benefit from early learning experiences that best promote the child's success. The development of school readiness skills also allows school teachers to expand and further develop a child’s skills in the specific areas of social interaction, play, language, emotional development, physical skills, literacy and fine motor skills. Without these basic skills already established upon entry to school, children can very quickly find themselves playing ‘catch up’ compared to their peers that are advancing more quickly.
