Indigo Early Learning Centre
Green Point
Welcome to Indigo Early Learning Centre Green Point
Indigo Green Point was aquired in late 2021 and is a work in progress with updates and alterations happening throughout 2022 (while we remain fully operational). We are in the process of undergoing a total transformation inside and out- starting with converting the outdoor play space. Our focus on nature based, child centred and free flowing environments continue to be our focus.
We share the same plant based menu as our Forresters Beach service and ensure all of the decisions we make are based around environmental sustainability, play-based child centred environments and maximising strong positive relationships with children, families and educators.
Our Classrooms
Our three classrooms open onto a classic covered Aussie outdoor veranda (currently being extended and due for completion in 2022) and sun-shaded sand pits. Beyond this, with views stretching from the ocean to the mountains, our landscaped outdoor playground includes water play pumps and safe climb and cubby areas, boat and jetty and other challenging gross motor style equipment.
Our 0-2 years Penguin room
Our nursery is like a home away from home for your precious little one. Featuring two cot rooms for that perfect nap, soft music and dimmable light, and an open plan indoor play space. Our nursery is filled with beauty from the children’s artwork respectfully displayed, to the lush indoor plants. Furniture and toys are carefully selected to engage your child in early play, exploration and learning with a focus on wooden and sustainably and responsibly purchased toys where possible.
We are in the process of reconfiguring this space to provide more natural light and direct access to the outdoor play space.
We spend a lot of our day outside in our shady outdoor space. There is a strong focus on fostering and supporting emotional well being and development as seen through our Daily Rhythm.
We spend our Penguin days involving children in singing and dancing, sensory exploration such as painting and cooking, relaxation, and a lot of laughter. This really is a beautiful nurturing home away from home for our 0-2 age group.
Our 2-3 year olds Turtle room
The Turtle room caters for our toddlers as they adventure more consciously into talking, shared and imaginative play, and toilet training. Children are encouraged to express themselves as they begin to learn positive social and emotional skills. This beautiful room is also home to some of the other members of our Indigo tribe including our fish.
Here, as with our other rooms, a sustainable combination of recycled and new natural materials has been used to create engaging toys and play spaces for children to explore and gain a strong sense of belonging and wellbeing.
Our 3-5 years olds Sharks room
The Sharks room features activities and resources that engage your children in play-based learning that progressively builds the social and emotional skills that will help them move into big school with confidence. Our experienced teachers nurture indoor and outdoor play to support children in building independent and cooperative play, creativity, and inquiry and problem solving through child-led questions and projects.
Activities that encourage beginning numeracy, letter recognition and fine motor pen and brush control meld naturally into the day of play. Singing and dance build learning skills and interest in reading is excited through daily teacher-led group reading and question-led interaction.
Playground
Indigo Early Learning Centre has a large, open and engaging space where risk-taking and problem-solving is encouraged and highly supervised, in our all-natural outdoor area. The children enjoy digging in the multiple sand pits throughout the playground, bake a mud pie using our mud kitchen, or create a waterfall on our riverbed using the water pumps.
They sing, dance and play on our stage, feel the grass beneath their toes, climb to the top of the cubby house for beautiful views of the playground and Forresters Beach.
