"Physical development sits at the heart of well being, learning and development - and it creates school readiness." - Jan White

ECAT- Every Child a Talker

Every Child a Talker (ECAT) is designed to help practitioners and parents create a developmentally appropriate, supportive and stimulating environment in which children can enjoy experimenting with and learning language. Through everyday, fun and interesting experiences which reflect children’s interests, ECAT encourages early language development right from the outset, extending children’s vocabulary so that before they start school, children are confident and skilled communicators.

ECAM- Every Child a Mover

Every Child a Mover(ECAM) helps us look at our outdoor and indoor environment with new eyes, and find ways to provide rich opportunities for your children to develop their full potential. Children develop through moving, particularly outdoors. Everything from balance and coordination to eyesight, handwriting, emotional development and "school readiness" is informed by the amount of physical activity a child engages in.

What our parents say...

" Well where can I start, my Daughter has loved going to The Pines everyday since starting there over 2 years ago now. Choosing The Pines as our childcare provider was an easy decision as I had heard great things about their care and I knew I wanted her to attend The Pines. They have supported her in every milestone that she went through, especially with her eyesight, her squint diagnosis and her speach she has progressed so much with their continued support. She is the child she is today because of the ladies who work there." - Please see Facebook for many more.
