Our advanced preschool approach is derived from the leading early childhood development theories which have proven to deliver exceptional outcomes for children intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
Our unique holistic approach to early childhood learning and development uses a proven process, specially trained team and custom-built indoor and outdoor environments to deliver exceptional development outcomes for children in their pre-kindergarten and kindergarten years aged 2‑5.
We opened our first custom-designed Scola Early Learning centre on Marmion Street in Melville in 2020, next door to The Children’s Garden. Our play-based approach to early childhood education is the first of its kind and delivers developmental results exceeding those of traditional child care based models.
This is based on a number of widely accepted theories of learning, which state that humans are social beings and children are no exception. Children developing at different rates are able to collaborate and communicate in a way that benefits everyone!
Developing using language regards the comprehensive body of research defining the social, emotional, and cognitive effects of language in the early years. Language is regarded as one of the keys to excellent development. Scola Early Learning recognises the importance of using appropriate language to encourage development towards an empathetic, cooperative and determined child.
This is based on an array of research supporting the development of executive functions, emotional regulation, and creativity through play. Development through play regards not only the learning that occurs when children engage in theatrical, dramatic, and creative play, but also the learning that occurs when children are able to engage with the environment and play in the way that comes most naturally to them.
The education curriculum focuses on these concepts, but it’s also designed to include concepts from other early learning theories including John Dewey, Lev Vygotsky and Jerome Bruner, among others.
