First Five Early Learning Reservoir

First Five Early Learning Reservoir At First Five Early Learning we celebrate who children are now. We look forward to welcoming you and your child into our family-owned service.

We recognise learning begins from birth, with the first five years the most critical and sensitive for shaping children’s health and wellbeing, learning and development. Our Reservoir service is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri Peoples, of the Woi wurrung language group. We cater for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

This Early Childhood Educators’ Day, we asked several children to share their thoughts of a few of the educators from across our service.

The children’s responses are a true reflection of the meaningful relationships educators foster with children each day.

Our educators nurture, encourage, listen, support and inspire children, creating a strong sense of belonging and providing the foundations for lifelong learning and development.

Today, we celebrate the professionalism, knowledge, dedication, care and commitment our educators bring to their work every day.

Thank you to our incredible First Five Early Learning educators for all that you do.

Book Week at First Five Reservoir!

What a wonderful week of imagination, creativity and a love of reading!

Our children brought their favourite book characters to life through dress-ups, stories, play and shared experiences all while celebrating the magic of books and the joy of getting lost in the symphony of stories.

A big thank you to our families for joining in the fun and helping make Book Week so special!

Celebrating Book Week and all things literacy and reading!

This week our centre celebrated the joy and importance of picture book literature and the many ways stories support children’s language, imagination, curiosity and learning.
Hear from Rara, Early Childhood Teacher of our 3 year old Kindergarten program about why reading matters and how books inspire learning every day at First Five Early Learning Reservoir.

Quality relationships. Meaningful learning. Positive outcomes.

Behind every child’s learning journey is an educator who takes the time to get to know them, understand their interests, recognise their strengths and support them as they learn and grow.

At First Five Early Learning, our educators are committed to providing high-quality education and care through responsive relationships, intentional teaching and meaningful learning experiences.

In our Educator Spotlight series, you will meet the dedicated professionals who work to create a safe, engaging and supportive environment where every child can learn, develop and thrive.

Because high-quality early learning starts with educators just like Emily who know, value and believe in every child’s learning journey.

Early Learning Matters Week 2026

At First Five Early Learning, every child’s voice matters.

Children express themselves in so many ways—through their words, choices, gestures, play, relationships, and creative ideas. During Early Learning Matters Week, we celebrate the importance of listening deeply to every child and valuing what each child has to share.

We are committed to listening, documenting, and responding to what matters most to children, ensuring their interests and perspectives help shape our curriculum. By honouring their voices, we nurture a strong sense of belonging, agency, confidence, and wellbeing.

At First Five Early Learning, we see children as capable and competent learners. Through meaningful relationships and responsive teaching, our educators create opportunities for children to influence their learning, contribute to decision-making, and experience an environment where their ideas are genuinely valued every day.

Because when children feel heard, they know they matter.

Today, we recognise National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day and celebrate the strengths, identities, cultures and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities.

At First Five Early Learning, we are committed to creating culturally safe and inclusive environments where every child develops a strong sense of belonging and respect for the world’s oldest continuing cultures. This commitment is embedded throughout the year across our educational programs through meaningful relationships, embedding First Nations perspectives and pedagogies and ongoing opportunities for children to learn with and from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures.

Today, and every day, we honour the stories, resilience and rich cultural knowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families bring to our community.

Starting Prep? Let’s bust a few myths! 🎒✨

School readiness is about so much more than reading, writing and knowing numbers.

Swipe through to explore what school readiness really means, what it doesn’t mean, and the skills that help children thrive as they transition to school.

Every child develops at their own pace, and there is no single checklist for being “ready”. Our focus is on supporting children to become confident, capable learners who are excited to take their next step.

This week in our 3-Year-Old Kindergarten program, educators Peter and Ela have been extending on children’s interest in the book ‘Who Sank the Boat?’ by designing and building their very own pirate ship!

What began as an idea to make a boat quickly became a collaborative pirate adventure, with the children planning, painting, constructing and bringing their ideas to life using recycled materials.

Along the way, they’ve been developing communication, creativity, problem-solving and early engineering skills, while the imaginative play that has followed has sparked rich language, teamwork and storytelling.

There’s nothing quite like following children’s interests to create meaningful learning!

• Celebrating What Matters •

This week, our children and educators came together for Pyjama Week, wearing their favourite pyjamas to raise awareness of the important work of the Pyjama Foundation and to show support for children living in out-of-home care.

At First Five Early Learning, our celebrations are chosen with intention. Rather than following an events calendar, we partner with families to create meaningful opportunities that reflect the values, priorities and interests of our community. Pyjama Week is one of these opportunities, helping children explore kindness, empathy, belonging and how we can make a positive difference in the lives of others.

A heartfelt thank you to our families and educators for embracing the week and supporting this important cause.

Meet Brett, our amazing Chef at First Five Early Learning Reservoir!

Brett is so much more than a Chef, he’s a much-loved member of the First Five Early Learning Reservoir community. The excitement on the children’s faces when they see him arrive at to their classroom delivering delicious meals says it all, with many of our kinder children proudly calling him “my chef”. A reflection of the genuine connections he has built with those who are nourished by his cooking.

From his famous butter chicken and broccoli pasta to his hidden vegetable pizza pockets, Brett creates meals that children genuinely look forward to. Parents often ask us how he gets their children to eat so many vegetables, and the answer lies in the care, passion and love he pours into every meal, every day.

By creating positive, enjoyable mealtime experiences, Brett helps children develop healthy relationships with food while feeling connected, cared for and eager to try new flavours.

Thank you, Brett, for everything you bring to our team and to the children and families at First Five Reservoir
