Interesting and Educational
Age-Appropriate Programs in Shellharbour and Surrounds
At Junior Einsteins we have developed a Junior Community Program that supports children to be actively involved in their local community. Educators have devised this program with the aim to support children in understanding their reciprocal rights to community participation. Within our Junior Community Program children have the opportunity to engage with and work alongside a range of community groups and organisations.
We have developed a partnership with; Guide Dogs Australia, where children build an understanding of this organisation, raise money and share resources. At Junior Einsteins the children also have the opportunity to engage in reciprocal relationships with our local nursing home, library, primary schools and other early learning centres. We also provide opportunities for children to visit community locations during excursions and learn from community members during visits to the centre.
Some of the exciting experiences delivered through our Junior Community Program includes;
- Visiting the local shopping centre & businesses.
- Visiting the Science Centre/Discovery Centre.
- Visiting our local Woolworths store.
- Visiting our local Bunnings store.
- Inviting Healthy Harold into our centres
- Inviting reptile, animal & sea creatures shows & experts into the centre.
All expenses associated in the running and delivery of our Junior Community Program is covered by the centre, and at no additional costs to families.
