Glenroy & Dallas
Our commitment to the Reggio Emilia approach and alignment with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) ensures that your child receives a high-quality, holistic early childhood education.
In our Kinder Rooms, children aged 4 to 5 years engage in a rich array of activities. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring environment where your child can thrive. Our government-funded programs ensure accessibility for all families. We invite you to visit our Kinder Rooms to witness the magic of the Reggio Emilia approach and the EYLF in action — together, we'll embark on a journey of discovery and learning, preparing your child for a bright and promising future.
Our Philosophy
Reggio Emilia Approach
At ILIM Learning Sanctuary, we are deeply inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. This philosophy places children at the centre of their learning experience, respecting their individuality and encouraging their innate curiosity. Our Pre-Kinder and Kinder Rooms are carefully designed to spark wonder, exploration, and meaningful connections in our young learners.
Our Spaces
The Environment as the Third Teacher
In the spirit of the Reggio Emilia approach, our Kinder Rooms are thoughtfully curated environments that act as a "third teacher". Flooded with natural light and adorned with inviting colours, these spaces offer open, flexible areas that invite curiosity and play. We believe the physical environment plays a pivotal role in a child's development, and our rooms reflect this — they are adaptable, encouraging children to move freely and engage in activities that captivate their interest.
EYLF
Inspiring Curiosity and Learning
Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which champions play-based learning and recognises the uniqueness of each child. In our Kinder Rooms, we focus on the following key outcomes:
Belonging, Being and Becoming
We create a sense of belonging for your child in our Kinder Rooms. Here they can be themselves, explore their interests, and develop a strong foundation for future learning.
- Learning Through Play
- Respect for Diversity
- Holistic Development
- Partnerships with Families
