Our program is designed to meet each child’s individual needs, encouraging curiosity, emotional connection, and early development.
Program and Benefits
The Gumnuts Room program is carefully designed to stimulate and support the development of babies from approximately 6 months to 1 year. Key benefits of our program include:
Sensory Development
Babies engage with various textures, sounds, and colours to stimulate their senses, enhancing their understanding of the world around them.
Gross Motor Skills
From tummy time to crawling and early standing, experiences are designed to support physical development and coordination.
Social Development
Through responsive and blossoming relationships, babies develop early communication skills and begin forming secure attachments with both educators and peers.
Language Development
With a rich environment of stories, songs, and constant conversations, we help build the foundation for early language skills.
Learning Environment
The Gumnuts Room is thoughtfully designed to support infants in their exploration and development. The space is filled with soft play mats, sensory toys, and interactive resources that encourage movement and engagement. Cosy corners provide restful areas for naps, while sensory-rich activities like textured toys and gentle music stimulate the child’s senses. Our environment strikes a balance between active play and peaceful moments, ensuring a safe and comfortable setting for every child.
Relationship with Educators
Our educators in the Gumnuts Room form strong, responsive relationships with each child, offering gentle guidance and reassurance. Through nurturing interactions like eye contact, soft words, and comforting touch, they help build a secure foundation of trust. This relationship is key to fostering emotional development, where babies feel confident to explore, learn, and connect.
Relationship with Parents
At Jambra Early Learning Centre, we believe in a strong partnership with parents. In the Gumnuts Room, we maintain open lines of communication, providing daily updates about your child’s feeding, sleeping, and activities. We value your insights into your child’s preferences, routines, and developmental milestones, ensuring that we tailor our care to suit their individual needs and ensure a smooth transition between home and centre.
