At Beyond we work with and support families on the amazing, and sometimes challenging journey that is parenting. Children may join our community at any time from 6 weeks of age until they begin school. Should we have vacancies, we welcome new enrolments at any time during the year and at any developmental stage in our program.
Children transition through rooms in our centres based on their readiness to learn, not just based on their age.
Children who are under 2 years of age are provided specialised learning areas that are thoughtfully designed to nurture, and help children form connections with our educators and with their learning space. A key focus of this age group is supporting the achievement of developmental milestones, and music, play and connection inform our program.
Once children are ready, for example are confidently mobile, have developed some early self-help skills, such as being able to communicate their needs, eat independently, and have a routine afternoon sleep, they will then move into rooms that focus on preparation for preschool. Flow learning becomes an important enabler of program delivery as children start to understand their preferences for learning indoors or outdoors. Our outdoor environments are designed with learning in mind, and foster imagination and creativity.
Beyond offers a formal preschool program, lead by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher. The program focuses on developing learning, social and emotional readiness for school and is grounded in Reggio-Emilia philosophy. With wellbeing at its core, our teachers and educators are focused on supporting children to become familiar with the social interactions, structures and routines that will prepare them for success at school.

Using nature to support learning.
The Beyond Journey
STEM (science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics)
Nature is full of STEM opportunities. Children learn through play; they explore, question and wonder about what is beyond their world. STEM opportunities for children extend on exploration and enquiry about their everyday world, engaging them in active learning and discovery. The foundations of scientific learning are inquiry and exploration, both of which are elements of STEM.
The brain is particularly receptive to learning Maths and logic between the ages of one and four and Maths skills are thought to be the most powerful predictor of later learning success.
The design of Beyond centres intuitively encourages STEM activities. Having access to the outdoors naturally promotes questions and hypotheses. Having educators working alongside children guiding their learning, enables children to learn how to research and test their hypotheses, naturally developing skills relevant to STEM, while also creating an awareness in children of the importance and value of STEM.
