Our playful school is set in a colourful child-friendly classroom attached to my house with a very spacious adventurous garden. Cate D'Oliveira (Owner)
I am a wife and a mom and I have always been passionate about children and therefore qualified as an Early Childhood Development Teacher after school. After gaining lots of experience, and knowledge, as well as having my own three girls, I decided

to open up my Magic Beans, powered by Play Sense group for 2-4 year olds. I believe I have created a happy, fun, safe home away from home environment where learning is child's play. "PLAY IS OUR BRAINS FAVOURITE WAY OF LEARNING"

My amazing teacher for our 2-4 year olds has a passion for the little ones too and is an ECD-qualified teacher. She is energetic, full of fun and loves to get down on the floor and teach through PLAY. We are a team that works closely to ensure your little ones have a great start to their schooling adventure. She uses music, stories, art, sensory messy activities, baking, imaginative & outdoor play and so much more for your little ones to learn and discover the world and themselves. She helps open their little minds to explore and master new skills and concepts. Best of all the little ones adore her which makes teaching and learning so much more exciting.

Did you grow up learning we only have 5 senses?
Sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell were just the beginning.

There are three hidden sensory systems that play a HUGE role in how kids move, feel, and function every day, but they often get overlooked:
🔹 Vestibular- the sense of balance and movement
🔹 Proprioception- the sense of body awareness and position
🔹 Interoception- the sense of internal body signals like hunger, thirst, or the need to use the bathroom

These "hidden" senses impact everything from attention and emotional regulation to posture, coordination, and toileting.

Understanding these systems can help us better support kids who seem wiggly, overwhelmed, or unaware of their own bodies. A great resource to better understand these sensory systems and how sensory seeking or over-responsiveness/ under-responsiveness impact function is The Sensory Lifestyle Handbook: https://www.thesensoryspectrum.com/the-sensory-lifestyle-handbook/
