BLUE LAB Family Day Care SCARBOROUGH

Meet Aloha
Hi! I’m a mother of two children and an early years educator.
I believe that early childhood is an important stage in a person’s life and that play-based learning is what I believe is the best way for Children to develop skills, know their capabilities, increase their self-esteem to become confident humans. In my home, I offer hands-on activities and different inviting spaces for children to explore in the safety of a home environment.
Children under my care will have the opportunity to work as a team and interact with different age children or enjoy their own space when working individually. I offer a wide range of natural and open ended materials with a Reggio Emilia approach to encourage their creativity.
I’m looking forward to work together with families to help their children grow and reach their learning potential.

Know how well do we do
A top-notch service for you!
BLUE LAB has gone through the NQS rating process by the Education and Care Regulatory Unit.
The rating measures the quality of any Early Childhood Service in Australia. It examines seven areas and scores them within a four-scale system: Needs improvement, Working Towards, Meeting, and Exceeding what is expected.
BLUE LAB has scored 5 Meeting and 2 Exceeding. These last ones were in Relationship with Children and Collaborative with Families, where it really matters.
But how good our score is? Is just good… or really good?

Somos bilingües | We are bilingual
En este Day Care hablamos en español, lo cual es genial para niños hispanoparlantes que deseen reforzar y aprender la lengua de al menos uno de sus padres.
We speak Spanish in this center. This is great for english-speaking kids if you want them to start learning a second language at the best possible age.
Philosophy
The first 5 years in the child’s life are the most important years to form the foundations of all later learning and development. The greatest brain development and growth occurs and it is a time when early experiences influence attitudes and dispositions and learning. The child’s brain is a powerful learning engine that needs to be constantly stimulated through play with age appropriate activities that encourage talents and build cognitive skills at their own pace.
- We strongly believe all children are strong, capable and resilient; full of wonder and knowledge. We provide opportunities for children to share their ideas, opinions and make connections in their learning journey. The individuality of each child is respected and nurtured.
- The environment as a third teacher. Paying thoughtful attention to creating an environment that enables children to develop relationships with the world around them, themselves and each other is an important aspect our program. A well planned safe, an inviting environment with natural and open ended resources which should be inviting and cultivate children’s curiosity, wonder and imagination. Materials are easily accessible and uncluttered and inviting. Every resource is carefully considered for its purpose and sustainability is considered.
- The educator follows a pedagogy of observing and listening to children and practicing the art of conversations that lead into experiences based on children’s interests.
- We recognise the importance of working in partnership with families, educators and children to achieve common goals for their child.
- Project based learning provides children with an opportunity to investigate and explore an area of interest. This includes inquiry based projects, which can last for as long as the children are showing interest in the topic (usually 1 or 2 months). It is our belief that projects give children an opportunity engage in inquiry based play, to investigate and discover an area of personal interest and provide children with the power to construct their own learning.
- Respect is one of our important values. Respect for ourselves, for all people and all the living things.
