We have six rooms at Kids Resort, we have three mixed age rooms (0-3 years), two government funded 3-year-old kindergarten rooms and onerous which is out 4-year-old government funded kindergarten. We created our room names using the word resort as an acronym and each name has a connection to our philosophy and how we view children.
Our room names are:
Researchers Room
Explorers Room
Scientists Room
Observers Room
Risk Takers Room
The way we structure our rooms is a little different to other early learning settings but our structure works so well for our setting. The Researchers, Explorers and Scientists rooms are our mixed age rooms, these rooms educate and care for children aged 0-3 years old. Although the idea of having children 0-3 years old together might be daunting for some, this structure works so well. We see the older children displaying a caring nature towards the younger children and we see them taking on a teaching role as the younger children watch and look up to them. The younger children love watching the older ones in the room and they are seen trying to take on new challenges as they see their peers doing so. This structure also benefits our educators as they have more time to engage with children in learning experiences as they are not constantly fulfilling routine aspects of the day as the children are of different ages and have different routines allowing these duties to be spread out throughout the day.
The Risk Takers rooms is our 3-year-old government funded kindergarten rooms, for children to be enrolled in or 3-year-old kindergarten they must turn 3 by the 30th April, of the year they are enrolled in that room.
To be enrolled in our 4-year-old Kindergarten program all children must turn 4 before the 30th April, the year the are enrolled in the Kinder program.
