Peacock Street has three learning spaces within the centre

At Peacock Street Long Day Care, children learn and grow within welcoming spaces designed to support their stage of development.

Each room provides opportunities for exploration, creativity and play while educators support children to build confidence, friendships and a strong sense of belonging.

Our centre includes two learning rooms and a dedicated literacy space.

• Kookaburras Room – for children aged 2–3 years

• Lorikeets Room – for children aged 4–5 years

• Literacy Room

The Kookaburra Room

The Kookaburra room supports children aged 2–3 years as they grow in confidence, independence and social skills.

Educators create a nurturing and engaging environment where children can explore through play, develop early language and begin forming friendships. Experiences focus on curiosity, movement, creativity and building a strong sense of belonging.

The Lorikeet Room

The Lorikeet room supports children aged 4–5 years as they develop confidence, independence and school readiness skills.

Children participate in play-based learning experiences that encourage problem solving, creativity, communication and cooperation. Educators support children to build strong friendships while developing the skills needed for their transition to school.

Literacy Room

Our Literacy Room provides a calm and engaging space where children can explore books, storytelling, early writing and language experiences.

Through small group learning and hands-on activities, children build confidence with sounds, words and communication in a relaxed learning environment.

School Readiness

At Peacock Street, school readiness is supported through everyday play and learning experiences. Children develop important skills such as independence, communication, problem solving and social confidence.

Our educators support each child to feel prepared and excited as they move towards their transition to school.

Our strengths include:

  • The implementation of the Early Years Learning Framework

  • Providing parents with bi-annual developmental records

  • Incorporating a school readiness program

  • Incorporating parent input and encouraging parent involvement

  • Celebrating community events e.g. Red Nose Day, Stress Down Day, Daffodil Day, International Day of Peace, World Colouring In Day, Australia Day, Harmony Day, Colouring In Competition with L.J. Hooker, Seaforth etc.

  • Embedding sustainable practices into the centre program

  • We use an online communication system for families to share information about each child. Through this system families receive notifications on their mobile device and e-mails alerting them that new information about their child’s day have been posted. The online system can also be used for staff to communicate about planned activities and upcoming events. Families also have the option to comment on what they have read giving immediate parent input into the service
