Learning Blocks Dural – A Nurturing Environment for Growth and Discovery

At Learning Blocks Dural, we are committed to providing a high-quality early learning experience in a warm, inclusive, and stimulating environment. Our centre is designed to support children’s natural curiosity and love for learning while fostering strong relationships with families and the wider community.

Our Rooms

Our learning spaces are thoughtfully designed to support children’s development at every stage:

• Nursery (0-2 years) – A calm, nurturing space where our youngest learners feel safe and secure. Our educators provide responsive, individualised care and sensory-based experiences to support early development.
• Toddlers (2-3 years) – A dynamic environment filled with hands-on learning, fostering independence, social skills, and early language development.
• Pre-Kindergarten (3-4 years) – A balance of play-based and structured learning, encouraging problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration.
• Preschool (4-5 years) – A strong school readiness program, focusing on literacy, numeracy, social-emotional skills, and independence to ensure a confident transition to primary school.

Each room is tailored to the developmental needs of the children, with engaging activities that encourage learning through play, discovery, and exploration.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and focuses on developing the whole child through:

• Play-Based Learning – Children learn best when actively engaged in hands-on, meaningful experiences.
• STEM & Creative Exploration – We integrate science, technology, engineering, and math concepts in an age-appropriate way, along with music, art, and drama.
• Social and Emotional Development – Helping children develop confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence.
• Nature-Based Learning – Our new Nature Hub (name pending) will allow children to connect with the natural world through outdoor discovery and sustainability projects.
• School Readiness Program – Designed to give preschoolers the confidence and skills they need for a smooth transition to school.

We regularly review and refine our programs to ensure they are engaging, educational, and developmentally appropriate for all children in our care.
