The Learning Sanctuary Brighton

In our Nursery room, the main focus is on routines and ensuring that children are loved and cared for, helping them build secure emotional relationships. We closely follow the routines of each child’s home to ensure consistency and comfort. Our nurturing environment promotes a sense of security, laying the foundation for healthy emotional development.

In the Toddler 1 room, we continue to build secure, positive relationships with children, while encouraging the development of their agency, independence, and self-help skills. Children are guided to make informed choices and begin practising decision-making. The room maintains a consistent routine with one sleep per day, supporting children’s growing need for structure and rest.

The focus in our Toddler 2 room is to assist children in building their self-help skills along with early literacy and numeracy skills. We foster a supportive environment where children can explore and learn independently. The room also maintains a routine of one sleep per day, ensuring children have the necessary rest to support their development.

In the Senior Toddler room, our main focus is to help children build confidence and a strong sense of identity. We encourage them to engage with their peers, fostering social skills and the ability to participate in group activities. This environment helps them develop a positive self-image and the confidence to explore new experiences.

Our Kinder 3 room is led by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher who runs the 3-year-old kinder program. The focus is on continuing to develop social and emotional skills, building confidence to engage in group experiences, and initiating play. This structured yet flexible environment supports children in their transition from individual to group play, enhancing their social interactions.

The Kinder 4 room is led by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher, primarily focusing on school readiness. We aim to enable children to become confident learners, equipped with the skills they need for their upcoming school years. Our structured program emphasises literacy, numeracy, emotional regulation, social skills, independence, critical thinking, and a love for learning. We ensure children are prepared both academically and socially for the next step in their education journey.

Your child will be welcomed by our team of educators, who will ensure the morning transition from home to centre goes as smoothly as possible. On arrival, share information about your child’s specific needs for the day.

Our centre chefs prepare a nutritious menu for your child to sit down and eat. This is a great time for everyone to share stories from the day. Educators model healthy eating practices, social behaviours and support children’s growing independence with mealtime routines.

If you have an infant, we spend one-on-one time with them to establish a connection. Educators talk gently and respond to babies’ cues. We use songs, games, and conversations to strengthen relationships and build language skills.

Your child is naturally curious. They want to learn and explore, which is why we teach through play-based learning. It supports language, motor skills, memory, emotions and social relationships. Educators plan play-based learning experiences based on children’s interests and goals.

We match routines to your child’s individual needs. Opportunities for rest and relaxation help make them feel safe. Play-based learning experiences are provided for older children who no longer don’t sleep in centre.

As your child prepares to head home, this is your opportunity to speak with our friendly educators about your child’s day and everything they learnt. We look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow.
