Our childcare facility is arranged in groupings of children from birth to five, rather than groups of all the one age. These "family" groups provide a more natural home like environment where the older children learn responsibility for their younger friends or siblings, and the younger childrens' learning pace is accelerated by the example of the older children.
Younger children coming to the centre for the first time also find it more comforting to be with their older brothers or sisters. Family groups also have the same staff for the child's progression through the centre from birth to four thus providing continuity of care. We firmly believe that the family grouped environment that we have developed provides an appropriate setting to foster all areas of childrens' development.
We also recognise that children between the ages of 3-6 years may need the added opportunity to attend a preschool group with their peers, and to participate in a program which will cater specifically to their changing needs. Therefore, in addition to our family groups, One World Children's Centre also provides an early childhood program for three year old children, and a Kindergarten Program for four year olds.
Our training organisation and childcare facility are closely interlinked, sharing premises and staff. It is this unique structure that gives OWFC a clear advantage when training participants and ensures that our training programs are specific to the needs of the industry.
