Story House Early Learning
Story House welcomes aboard Oakvale Early Learning childcare centre. With over 19 years experience, Oakvale prides itself on providing stimulating educational programs that allow children to explore, observe, learn and ask questions that further develop their creative, exploratory and problem solving skills.
Our programs are designed by using a combination of the Emergent Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework. This Framework assists our qualified educators to provide your children with the best opportunities to develop a love and passion for learning while maximising their full potential.
We believe in nurturing your child to become a lifelong learner. The Early Years Learning Framework recognises that children’s lives are characterised by belonging, being and becoming. From before birth children are connected to family, community, culture and place. At Oakvale we support this framework and develop our educational programs so that your child will reach their full potential within their community and as individuals.
Oakvale Childcare Centre offers a Queensland Government approved Kindergarten program delivered by a Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teacher. Our classes are small in size which allows us to provide high quality outcomes for your child.
Each child in our care has their own portfolio that showcases a variety of their works so that you can understand and see first-hand what learning is taking place and how your child is developing.
