YORKE ROOM
Children ages 2 to 3 years old.
HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE YORKE ROOM
The Yorke Room is a nurturing, play-based learning environment for children aged two to three years, where strong relationships, curiosity, and a sense of belonging are at the centre of our practice. We recognise that young children learn best through hands-on experiences, repetition, and secure connections with educators and their environment.
Our program is guided by place-based learning, supporting children to explore and connect with the familiar spaces and natural elements around them. Through everyday experiences and responsive teaching, we follow the children’s interests to shape our curriculum and encourage confident exploration at their own pace.
Children in the Yorke Room have opportunities to care for our two guinea pigs, participating in feeding routines, observing their behaviour, and learning gentle handling and responsibility. These experiences support the development of empathy, respect for living things, and an emerging understanding of caring for others.
The Yorke Room is a warm, inclusive space where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning.
YORKE ROOM ROUTINE
We have a routine in the Yorke Room, to provide a structured day for the children.
