Cuddles (0-2 Year)

The Cuddles Class accommodates for children 0 to 2 years. Across each day we run a play-based program, encouraging a sense of security and a sound wellbeing, allowing the children to experiment and explore their own ideas and concepts, allowing each child to become confident, active and involved in their learning. Children develop a sense of belonging when they feel accepted and when they are supported to develop attachments with those that are caring for them. At MELC we base our education program and education practices off the Early Years Learning Framework. Our educators are committed to supporting the development of children’s curiosity, persistence and creativity, which encourages children to actively participate in their learning and to gain from it. Each day the Cuddles Class has a maximum of 12 children, with 4 educators in the classroom.
