Melbourne’s south-east is the new epicentre of world-class childcare thanks to forward-thinking One Early Education CEO, Richard Rice.
Transforming traditional childcare models, One Early Education combines state-of-the-art facilities with play-based learning and an exclusive brain development program, specifically designed to provide the optimum environment for a child during their critical early years.
“One of the main reasons families choose One is because of our uniquely awesome team of educators, dedicated to the children’s education and development,” said Richard Rice. “One Early Education’s industry-leading culture for holistic education allows us to cherry-pick only the very best educators for our centres.”
The purpose-built, state-of-the art centres in Officer, Clyde North and Cranbourne East each have an abundance of natural light and wonderful play spaces which allow opportunities for both structured and unstructured play, critical to a child’s optimal development.
Innovative Covid-safe protocols ensure the safety and wellbeing of the children at every centre.
Feedback from families has been extremely positive, with many expressing gratitude for how safe and reassured they felt thanks to One’s proactive response to the pandemic.
A nutritionist and on-site cook provide a seasonal menu for the children which is not only optimal for their bodies’ development, but also delicious, creating a positive association with healthy food from a young age.
The outdoor spaces with abundant veggie gardens, climbing forts and natural elements all encourage gross motor development, while enrichment programs, underpinned by their exclusive brain development program, allow children to grow holistically.
The first five years are critical to a child’s development as the foundations for learning, health and behaviour throughout life are laid down. The One Early Education curriculum has been developed with the Australian child in mind and guided by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework.
“The childcare sector is changing,” added Mr Rice, “and parents are demanding great facilities, high quality staff and importantly, enriching programs that provide incredible learning experiences.”
