Educational Programs

Grace Village provides a personal and professional early learning environment committed to nurturing and supporting the individual needs and values of your child and family.

Our focus is to deliver the highest quality care and all-inclusive educational programs for your child, within a fostering and supportive environment.

Encouraging and appreciating our multicultural society, these programs also help develop awareness and respect for cultural similarities and differences.


Reggio Emilia Approach

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge.

Drawing upon renowned early learning principles from Reggio Emilia and Emergent pedagogies with a play-based learning philosophy, our children are given the opportunity to explore, experiment and discover at their own pace.

Learn more about the Reggio Emilia Approach at Grace Village here


Early Years Learning Framework

The Early Years Learning Framework is a national framework for children from birth to five years, developed to ensure your child receives high-quality educational programs in their early childhood learning setting.

This is a vital age for your child to learn and develop and the framework’s vision is for all children to experience play-based learning that is engaging and builds success for life. It is a key component of the National Quality Framework and a guide for early childhood educators who work with children from birth to five years.

What is the Early Years Learning Framework?


School Readiness Program

The School Readiness program at Grace Village involves strengthening your child’s social & emotional development and independence skills through a wide range of activities designed to enhance their auditory, visual and tactile senses.

Children in the year prior to starting school will be exposed to more structured forms of activities regarding pre-writing, pre-reading, clarifying activities and simple maths, as well as developing their STEM and technology skills.

Read more about our School Readiness program here


Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Curriculum

Preschool children between the age of 3 to 5 years old are inquisitive and alive to the possibilities of learning. This is an important time for developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills, channelling their enthusiasm for scientific discovery. 

With iPads providing the interactive nature of physically touching a screen that responds to that touch, and our Lego robotics programming supporting ‘hands-on, minds-on’ learning, our STEM activities are developed to engage and motivate our little villagers’ interest in learning science and engineering.


Extracurricular Activities

Complementing the principles and outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework, our extracurricular programming opens your little ones’ world to a wider variety of opportunities, resources and interactions encouraging them to develop and learn at their own pace.

8 Little Villagers

Our range of specialised developmental programs includes 8 streams across a variety of physical, mental and emotional skills.

Active Villager focuses on developing physical skills, and nutritional and safety awareness, while Empowered Little Villager looks at the understanding of feelings, empathy for others and self-regulation of emotions.

Sydney Zoo Educational Partner

Our extracurricular activities also include our exclusive Sydney Zoo programs, teaching our children about the natural habitat, wildlife, caring for the environment, sustainability and aboriginal culture in an age-appropriate way.

Running two age-appropriate programs, our 2-6-year-olds enjoy two zoo excursions per year, while our under 2’s get to experience Sydney Zoo’s Puggletime mobile education program when they visit us here at Grace Village.

What Parents Say

Grace Village Early Learning Centre

See all reviews
GV has fantastic facilities including a third space for parents, an art atelier, lovely free-play outdoor spaces, and an epic undercover play area that allows children to be feel as though they are... playing outdoors when the weather doesn’t allow for true outside play. No other centre we have toured has offered play areas like this.We chose GV for our children because of their play-based (Reggio Emilia) philosophy and approach. We love that our little people have been able to be barefoot most of the time, supporting sensory feedback and encouraging their physical and mental development.Everyone at GV shows love for our children as they would their own. GV has been our home away from home, our family and greatest support through some very hard times.Thank you to all the nurturing educators, carers and all of the GV tribe for guiding our young man and little lady through their special formative and most impressionable years.read more

Grace Village Huntingwood is an amazing early learning centre that continuously goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care for all the children and support families with the challenges of... working life. Unfortunately we moved away from this area, but I continued to drive 45 minutes each way to send my daughter here before she started kindergarten. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for above and beyond care for their child/ren. The staff really care about the children and it is an extension of your family life. Thanks to the team for all the amazing care for our children!read more

My child has attended this lovely village for almost 4 years. Awesome learning center as there is always a little bit of extra effort in every single thing that they do. They have amazing and... friendly staff, great facilities and all round activities to ensure that a child develops physically,socially,emotionally and mentally well balanced. In each special occasion they have given us special memories whether in the app, physical souvenirs and lots of memories we’ll look back on when they grow older. My son is now in kindy but he still misses the staff and his friends there. Amazing and highly recommended team !read more

My two children have been with Grace Village from 8months old. Just over 3years later, we are relocating, and finding it hard to find a learning centre that is up to the standard of GV. The entire... team at Grace Village has always given our two children such high quality education, care, and emotional support. Communication was always open and clear. It’s really is a village environment, we are blessed to have been a part of & will miss everyone who made a beautiful impact on our children’s first years of life. Thank you Grace Village!read more

This is an amazing centre for your child. Both my son and my baby girl attended here. My son was unsettled in another centre for almost 1 year. After I moved him to GV at age 3.5, he only cried very... little at drop off and settled in fully within 3 days! He looked forward coming to GV everyday!. Their indoor and outdoor play areas are amazing!The educators here are very caring, professional and responsive to you child. They will try their best to keep you updated. And I love that GV also look after the family by giving them coffee/ treats and sometimes dinner boxes so it takes some pressure off as a parent! It's so much fun for the kids here and they are learning a lot at the same time. Highly recommended.read more
