Bottle Brush Room – Wyndarra Children's Centre

Overview: Bottle Brush Room
Wyndarra’s Bottle Brush Room caters for up to 15 children between three (3) to four (4) years of age and is the learning space for our 3 year old Kinder program.

Our Bottle Brush Room is part of one large room which has been divided into two play spaces.

The Bottlebrush educators work with the children to strengthen self-awareness and positive social interactions. The daily routines, such as meal times or toileting which are designed to support children with independence. As well as planned and unplanned learning opportunities that involve structured learning times and free play to strengthen individual learning.

The play yard has a large bark area, with challenging climbing equipment, a large sandpit, undercover area for a variety of activities and great size cubby house.

Our gardens are well developed providing beautiful shady play spaces and a natural learning environment for the children to discover and explore.

The children manage a worm farm and the fertilizer is used on their veggie garden. Herb and veggies from their garden is scaffolded through their learning and used in cooking experiences.
