Life-Long Learning Begins With Us
Welcome to Raceview Kindergarten and Childcare, Where Care Meets Education!
At Raceview Kindergarten, our ethos lies at the heart of a practice devoted to nurturing every child’s advancement towards exceptional learning outcomes. With a keen sensitivity to emotions and intellectual currents, our educators are dedicated to fostering the development of a strong sense of well-being.
Through our educators’ positive and interactive engagement in each young learner’s journey, they are not just teaching—they are shaping a brighter future.
Why Choose Childcare With Raceview?
Discovery-Based Learning
Emphasising the power of play, we facilitate environments where children’s imagination and creativity are encouraged. Through these playful explorations, they develop crucial cognitive, motor, and emotional skills, forming a sturdy foundation for their overall development.
Dynamic Education Spaces
Our early learning centre is a haven for young minds, where love, emotional support, and the thrill of discovery combine to create enriching experiences. A stimulating setting primes children for healthy growth and cerebral development, paving the way for an enduring learning journey.
Environmental Guardianship
At the heart of our early childhood centre lies a commitment to protecting the environment. Our methods aim to instil a strong respect for nature in our young ones, teaching them the importance of using resources wisely for a greener future.
Expert Theoretical Teaching
Using the groundbreaking insights of Vygotsky, Malaguzzi, Bronfenbrenner, and Piaget, our curriculum supports the conception that learning is an active, self-driven process. Our varied methods ensure that children thrive from a broad mix of educational philosophies and practises.
Our Curriculum
Four major childhood theorists influence our Early Years Learning Framework at Raceview Childcare and Kindergarten: Vygotsky, Malaguzzi, Bronfenbrenner, and Piaget. They help shape the way we support your child’s learning and development.
Vygotsky
Vygotsky highlights the significance of relationships in learning. He believes children learn best through meaningful interactions with others who are more knowledgeable, including both peers and adults. Through these social exchanges, kids begin to make sense of the world. Educators use what is known as ‘scaffolding’ techniques to support this learning process.
Malaguzzi
Malaguzzi sees children as strong and competent individuals, full of potential to learn by themselves. When given the chance, he believes kids naturally explore and discover new information. This concept reflects how we view and treat the young ones in our programme.
Bronfenbrenner
Bronfenbrenner suggests that a child’s development is influenced by their surroundings. This idea is similar to the saying that it takes a village to raise a child — the environment plays a crucial role in their development.
Piaget
All these ideas merge with Piaget’s theory that children are natural thinkers who build knowledge through experiences. Rather than simply being told, they actively try to understand the world around them.
We have designed our programme around these concepts, focusing on the child, the environment, and the educator. Combining these elements assures a rich learning experience.
Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Services
Our before and after school programme is perfect for busy parents. Starting at 6am, your child can enjoy a healthy breakfast before we take them to school. After school, they can look forward to a balanced mix of activities and play until pickup at 6pm. In our safe and nurturing environment, we focus on your child’s happiness and development during those crucial hours outside of regular school time.
When school’s out and the holidays roll in, our vacation care steps up to offer a memorable break for your children. Our flexible and diverse vacation programmes are packed with fun, learning, and opportunities to make new friends. Available at Raceview and Plainview, we pride ourselves on providing a convenient and fulfilling holiday programme. Rest easy knowing your child will have a wonderful holiday with us.

“The educators here are 100% the reason both my girls love coming in every day! I also believe that because of the amazing Kindy education one of my girls got last year is the reason she was able to get so comfortable transitioning into school this year! I can’t wait for another few years with this centre! Already been a long standing family member of 5 years, and ofcourse any centre you’ll have your mini issues but the way the new director and 2IC has been accomodating to those has been out of this world! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou! ❤️”
