Our Baby Bears room (6 months – 1 year old) offers an infant care program in a calm, nurturing environment where strong relationships form the foundation for learning. Guided by Maple Bear’s child-centred approach and the Early Years Learning Framework, educators focus on helping the children develop a strong sense of belonging, trust, and emotional security.
Through responsive caregiving, sensory play, music, and movement, babies explore their world while building early communication, physical coordination, and social connection. Individual routines are respected, supporting each baby’s wellbeing and emerging identity as capable learners from the very beginning.

In Little Bears, our toddlers between the ages of 2 years to 3 years old are supported as curious explorers discovering their independence and voice. Inspired by Maple Bear’s play-based program and aligned with EYLF outcomes, learning experiences encourage children to become confident and involved learners through hands-on exploration and meaningful play.
Educators nurture early learning in the domains of language development, emotional regulation, and social skills through conversation, imaginative play, and collaborative experiences. Children begin forming friendships, making choices, and developing a growing sense of autonomy within a safe and supportive environment.

The Junior Bears room supports children as they grow into confident and increasingly independent learners. Guided by Maple Bear philosophy and aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, educators encourage children to take active roles in their daily routines, fostering responsibility and autonomy.
Through everyday routines such as putting away their bags and belongings, caring for shared spaces, and learning to dress independently, children develop practical life skills that strengthen their sense of capability and belonging. Play-based investigations and collaborative learning experiences further support communication, problem-solving, and early literacy and numeracy development.
Within this nurturing preschool environment, children are empowered to make choices, contribute to their community, and build the independence and resilience needed for their next stage of learning.
