Nursery – Akira (0-2 years)

The Akira room is for babies from 6 weeks old to 2 years. Our loving and nurturing environment enables our educators and carers to provide a safe, secure, and inspiring atmosphere where children can feel at home (with the same care),  while providing families with flexibility and convenience when working and living in Benalla. 

The Akira room has a designated cot room and we practice safe cot and mat sleeping. 

Akira room children have a separate outdoor play area from the bigger children. 

Carinya Room 1 (2-3 Years)

Carinya room 1 caters for children aged 2-3 years. 

Each room is designed in such a way as to be not only appealing to each specific age group, but also to facilitate learning through everyday activities in our designated learning centres.

As a toddler, children are opening up to new challenges as their communication skills expand and they learn to concentrate, experiment and play. Our educators support this magical phase through a program of play-based learning activities to help them explore their own interests and strengths.

Carinya Room 2 (3-5 Years)

Carinya Room 2 is for the 3 – 5 year old children.

Here, our educators strike a balance between child-initiated and teacher-led activities. While still focusing on attentive care and play-based learning, our educators will foster your child’s natural desire to engage with educational programs for life. We deliver a School Readiness Program that specialises in allowing your child to slowly adapt to the new school environment socially, emotionally and mentally before they even arrive.

This program teaches the children a variety of literacy and numeracy skills, including how to write their names, identification of simple numbers and shapes, recognition skills, such as identifying their school bags, and a range of communications skills, tools and tactics.

In-House Chef with Seasonal Menu

Using nutritional and favourite recipes, our in house chef delivers a seasonal menu that is high in nutrition and helps educate the children on healthy eating. Benalla Kids strives to improve eating habits at a young age to develop strength and wellbeing.
