Our Cromer Early Learning Programmes
Utilising a proven ‘Play’ based curriculum that focuses on creativity and nature, Ballykin Early Learning Centres are separated into three defined learning spaces. With the children transitioning through each age appropriate space, the Ballykin journey culminates in a school readiness program that prepares the children for the next stage of their education. Our educators build relationships with each child, creating continuity and trust as they move from class to class and progress on their Ballykin journey.

Other Classes & Activities
Ballykin Early Learning Centres offer lots of other fun classes. Available for all the children in our care, these classes are unique to the individual centres and draw on the individual skills and abilities of our in-house educators and carers.
Indigenous Culture
Facilitated by Indigenous educators, the children learn about our First Nations people and their cultural and spiritual connection to the land, sky and waterways that surround us, through music, storytelling, dance and art projects.
Nature
Using a combination of planned and spontaneous experiences the children learn about nature through interacting with our dedicated outdoor environment, including veggie garden, worm farm and bush tucker garden beds.
Languages
Many Ballykin educators are multi-lingual and are native speakers in languages other than English. Where available we facilitate classes for the children, with singing, music and cultural exchange at the core of our programme.
