Our 2027 Programs: More Ways to Learn, Move and Explore

At Landsdale Early Learning and Enrichment, we believe children learn best when they have meaningful opportunities to create, move, explore and connect with the world around them.

That is why we are introducing specialist Music, Sport and Bush Kindy programs in 2027: giving children more ways to build confidence, discover their interests and enjoy new experiences as part of their week at Landsdale ELE.

Each program will have its own dedicated period during the week and will be led by a specialist facilitator from our staff team. The final schedule and some program details are still being developed, but the purpose is clear: to enrich our play-based early learning program with regular experiences that support children’s development in different ways.

For families looking for childcare in Landsdale for 2027, these new programs will add even more variety, intention and opportunity to each child’s early learning journey.

What specialist programs will Landsdale ELE offer in 2027?

Landsdale Early Learning and Enrichment is introducing three specialist programs for 2027:

• Music: supporting expression, confidence, listening and creativity

• Sport: building movement skills, coordination, confidence and teamwork

• Bush Kindy: encouraging curiosity, outdoor exploration and connection with nature

  
  

The programs will run at different times across the week, with each activity having a dedicated place in the weekly rhythm. This approach allows children to look forward to regular music, movement and nature-based experiences while continuing to enjoy the familiar routines, relationships and play-based learning that shape their days at Landsdale ELE.

Music: expression, rhythm and confidence

Music gives young children a joyful way to communicate, participate and express themselves.

Through age-appropriate music experiences, children may explore rhythm, sound, movement, listening and group participation. These experiences can support language development, memory, coordination and confidence, while giving children the freedom to be creative and have fun.

Some children join in straight away. Others prefer to watch, listen and participate in their own time. A familiar staff member leading the program can help create a comfortable environment where every child is encouraged to engage in a way that feels right for them.

The 2027 Music program will bring dedicated musical experiences into the week, complementing the songs, stories, movement and creative play that are already part of early learning.

Sport: movement, coordination and teamwork

Movement is an important part of children’s physical development, wellbeing and confidence.

Our specialist Sport program will give children regular opportunities to practise age-appropriate movement skills through active, enjoyable experiences. The focus will not be on competition. Instead, it will be about helping children move with confidence, develop coordination, follow simple instructions and enjoy being active with others.

Sport and movement experiences can help children strengthen:

• Balance and coordination

• Gross motor skills

• Body awareness

• Confidence when trying something new

• Turn-taking and teamwork

• Listening and participation

  
  

Led by a specialist facilitator from our staff team, the program will provide a supportive way for children to build skills at their own pace and experience the enjoyment of moving together.

Bush Kindy: curiosity and connection with nature

For young children, the outdoors is full of questions, textures, sounds and small discoveries.

Bush Kindy creates space for children to slow down, look closely and learn through nature-based experiences. It may involve noticing leaves and insects, exploring natural materials, balancing and navigating outdoor spaces, finding patterns, asking questions and sharing discoveries with educators and friends.

These experiences can support:

• Curiosity and observation

• Confidence in outdoor environments

• Problem-solving and decision-making

• Physical development

• Creativity and imaginative play

• Connection with the natural world

• Collaboration and shared discovery

  
  

Our 2027 Bush Kindy program in Landsdale will build on the value of outdoor play and give children a dedicated opportunity to explore, wonder and learn in nature. Further details about the program will be shared as planning is finalised.

How will the 2027 programs fit into the week?

Music, Sport and Bush Kindy will each have a dedicated period at a different point in the week.

This means children will experience the programs as part of a balanced weekly rhythm rather than all at once. The structure will provide variety across the week while allowing each program enough time and focus to feel meaningful.

Exact days, times and program details will be confirmed closer to launch. Families are welcome to register their interest now and speak with our team about their childcare needs for 2027.

Specialist experiences within a play-based approach

The new programs are designed to enrich, not replace, the play-based, educator-led learning that happens every day at Landsdale ELE.

Young children learn through doing. They build skills when they experiment, repeat, ask questions, solve problems, move their bodies and share experiences with others. Music, Sport and Bush Kindy offer three different settings for this kind of learning.

A musical activity can build language, memory and self-expression. A movement experience can strengthen coordination, confidence and cooperation. An outdoor discovery can spark observation, problem-solving and rich conversation.

With a specialist member of staff facilitating each program, these experiences can be intentional while remaining responsive to children’s ages, interests and ways of participating.

Why enrichment matters in early childhood

Enrichment in early learning is not about filling every moment or asking children to perform. It is about opening doors.

Regular exposure to music, movement and nature can help children discover what interests them, practise emerging skills and see themselves as capable learners. It can also support the broader foundations of school readiness, including communication, independence, confidence, attention, emotional regulation and working with others.

Most importantly, these programs are designed to be enjoyable. When children feel safe, interested and supported, learning follows naturally.

What makes Landsdale ELE different in 2027?

Landsdale Early Learning and Enrichment is a long-standing local childcare centre with a strong focus on relationships, play-based learning, outdoor experiences and genuine care for every family.

In 2027, our Music, Sport and Bush Kindy programs will add new specialist experiences to that foundation. Families can expect:

• Dedicated Music, Sport and Bush Kindy periods across the week

• Programs led by specialist facilitators who are part of our staff team

• Age-appropriate, enjoyable experiences

• A focus on confidence, participation and development rather than performance

• Enrichment that complements everyday play-based learning

• A warm, familiar environment where children can explore at their own pace

As the programs are finalised, we will share more information with families about what each one will involve.
