They are employed at Eastwood Early Education Centre to record children's play and to design diverse experiences and activities. This ensures a well-thought-out approach to facilitating children's education.

Hennoz Fay Parent
One of the best daycare centres. A true family-based centre, that listens to parents, caters to children's needs and develops activities to include everyone. My son started with them in September and he has additional learning needs. He has learned so much and so quickly. The educators are all friendly, always listen and are helpful. The centre itself is specious with many purposeful areas designed to foster children's learning and creativity. It is always a delight to walk in and be greeted by smiles.
Irum Rauf PARENT
I recently attended the opening day of Eastwood Blessings Early learning and preschool. When I arrived I was welcomed by the friendly and approachable staff of the centre. The staff interacted and showed me around the centre and the centres playground. The interaction that the staff had with my child was amazing to see. The centre offers a lot of hands on experiences. The centre also offers quiet areas both inside and out if my child decides he needs that quiet time. I can’t wait for my child to start and see his development blossom.
Mathew G PARENT
My son is attending Eastwood Blessings and we couldn’t commend the centre enough! My son adjusted so quickly. He’s very excited everytime we send him. He’s happy everytime we pick him up. It just goes to show that he had a good day! My son loves how he can run around in the big outdoor area. He loves how close knit everyone is and that he’s being supported. We love everyone at the centre. They really focus on the children’s wellbeing! They communicate with the parents very well too! We would like to thank Sylvia and the team for a great job! You’ve showed us how to trust on a childcare centre again as we just had a traumatic experience on the previous one my son attended.

Children explore rhythm, dance, and self-expression in our Music and Movement Area, while our flexible meal times in the Meal Area encourage social interactions. All of these indoor learning spaces spur creativity and collaboration while promoting individuality.

Children are encouraged to establish a connection with the natural environment and initiate the process of learning and comprehending the world around them. Engaging in Early Childhood Education Eastwood play within natural surroundings offers significant benefits to children's overall well-being. The outdoor setting enables children to actively explore, interact with, and gain firsthand experience of the various natural landscapes provided by the Explorers program. Furthermore, children are given the opportunity to participate in activities that involve an element of risk-taking, allowing them to navigate through spaces and overcome obstacles. The educational and care service ensures that the play and learning environments are not only visually appealing but also safe, adaptable, and practical in nature. Guidance is extended to educators, children, and families to embrace practices that are environmentally sustainable. The design and functionality of both indoor and outdoor settings contribute to the enhancement of children's emotional, physical, social, cognitive, and spiritual well-being. This carefully crafted environment aligns with the educational and care objectives of the program, fostering in children a strong sense of identity and belonging. Additionally, it facilitates their overall growth and development.
When children are at rest or sleeping, their brain remains actively engaged, assisting in the processing of information accumulated throughout the day. Moreover, this period is crucial for the brain to consolidate past memories. Adequate rest at the Eastwood Early Education Centre is thus essential for this processing to occur effectively. Allocating time for relaxation enables the body to recover physically and the mind to sustain mental alertness. For children in the kindergarten or preschool age group who still require naps, a study has revealed that these naps at the Eastwood Early Education Centre can contribute to enhanced learning. This is achieved by solidifying the memories formed earlier in the day. Essentially, this signifies that the period of rest at the Eastwood Early Education Centre empowers children to better retain what they learned before taking their nap.
