At First Grammar Childcare, we are working with leading child protection organisation Act for Kids to implement a Protective Behaviours Education program.

Keeping children safe, emotionally and physically, is at the heart of everything we do.

The age-appropriate Learn to be Safe with Emmy & Friends program is designed to support children’s understanding of personal safety in a calm, positive and reassuring way.

This program has been carefully designed to be gentle, empowering and play-based, supporting children to build simple language, confidence and awareness around safety.

You can learn more about the program by speaking with your Centre Manager and visiting the Emmy and Friends dedicated website with information and free resources www.emmyandfriends.com.au

✨ The magic of discovering something for the first time..

There’s something truly special about seeing the world through a child’s eyes, every sound, texture, question, and discovery is brand new and full of wonder.

At First Grammar Childcare, our educators intentionally create environments that invite children to explore, experiment, and follow their curiosity. Through open-ended materials and thoughtfully prepared environments, children are encouraged to ask questions, try new ideas, and experience the excitement of discovering something for the very first time.

It’s in these moments of wonder that confidence grows, creativity flourishes, and a lifelong love of learning begins. ✨

Wishing all of our wonderful families a safe and joyful Easter!

Creativity in action!

In our First Grammar early learning environments, creativity isn’t just about art, it’s about thinking differently, exploring new ideas, problem-solving, and expressing big feelings in meaningful ways.

Through open-ended play, imaginative experiences, and hands-on discovery, children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. ✨

&Innovation

Group meals give children the opportunity to observe, imitate and learn from one another, from trying new foods to practising table manners. When children eat together in a relaxed, supportive environment, food becomes a positive experience rather than a challenge, helping build lifelong healthy habits.

At First Grammar Fairfield, our teachers and children dressed up for Book Week to celebrate the joy of reading! 📚✨ Book Week is an exciting time that encourages children to dive into the world of stories, sparking their imaginations and fostering a lifelong love for reading.

Reading is essential for children as it develops language skills, enhances their creativity, and builds a strong foundation for learning. It helps them understand the world around them and boosts their confidence as they grow.

We are proud of the team and children for the wonderful enthusiasm they showed during Book Week! Keep reading, exploring, and imagining!

This simple yet powerful statement from one of our families reflects the trust and appreciation our families have for the quality of care provided at First Grammar Fairfield.

At First Grammar Fairfield, we pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and supportive environment for all our children and families. Here’s what one of our enrolled families had to say.
Thank you to all our amazing families for your continued trust and support. We love hearing your feedback as it helps us to grow and continue delivering the best care and experiences for your children.

Dramatic play is a vital aspect of early childhood development, providing a safe space for children to learn, grow, and understand their environment and the people in it.
By providing diverse dolls and play items representing different cultures, children learn to appreciate and respect differences.
Caring for dolls allows children to practice empathy, nurturing, and caregiving. This role-playing can translate to real-life skills in caring for others and understanding emotions.

At First Grammar Fairfield, we take school readiness seriously and have developed a holistic approach to our school readiness curriculum. Our children learn to recognize and write their names through a variety of activities. These include writing their names in the sand, copying a printed version of their name onto whiteboards, and painting their name on paper, among other creative activities.

Additionally, our strong connections with local schools facilitate a smooth transition for the children. By communicating with these schools, we gather information on the expectations for incoming kindergarteners. This allows us to tailor our curriculum to prepare our preschoolers to meet and exceed these expectations, ensuring they excel in their new school environment.

Exploring, learning, and growing in our vibrant and diverse learning environments!

At First Grammar Fairfield, we are dedicated to providing safe, stimulating spaces that ignite curiosity and support each child's unique developmental journey.
