Q Creating a familiar pathway for all children, from home to early learning to school, is the aim of The Beach Early Learning Centre Erina. We are committed to ensuring that all children in the community have access to high quality early learning. At the Beach Early Learning Centre Erina we pride ourselves on meeting community needs, and are now providing fresh, nutritious and creative meals each and everyday for all children. The early years in a child’s life are instrumental in developing positive, long-term eating habits. Exposing young children to a healthy, diverse diet not only gives them the best start in life, it helps secure their future health, development and wellbeing as they grow up. ERINA 43 65 1192 310 THE ENTRANCE ROAD, ERINA The Beach Early Learning Centre Erina is pleased to now be collaborating with Kids Gourmet who use high-quality, fresh ingredients and a broad range of flavours and textures to create meals that meet – and often exceed – the latest nutritional guidelines for children in care. Supporting each child’s individual learning and development is central to the way in which our Directors Emma and Rebecca lead the team of Educators to ensure individual needs, interests and strengths are considered, as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in the centre. The Educators and the Centre as a whole have now become an accredited Wellness and Mindful centre. The Beach Early Learning Centre Erina has created spaces and programs for the children to develop and adapt to being mindful of themselves and others. Yoga is now a daily part of our curriculum and has intentionally fostered resilience, confidence and engaged wellbeing. w w w. t h e b e a ch e a r l y l e a r n i n g c e n t r e . c o m . a u
