Studio 64 Early Learning And Kindergarten South Perth

We are dedicated to taking care of the whole family.

Studio 64 adopts a family first approach placing importance on the wellness, care and happiness of the whole family. In addition to providing an exceptional education and care facility for children, we assist families to balance their work and early learning needs by offering serviced offices and other parent convenience offerings – all under the one roof. An example of this is the unparalleled opportunity for a mother to continue to feed her baby whilst making the smooth transition back to work.

Our foundation relies on the Early Years Learning Framework, National Quality Standards and the Early Childhood Australia – Code of Ethics, so that equity, inclusion and diversity underpin our daily practices. This begins from the moment the child and family attend our Stay and Play Orientation program and we explore the unique needs of each family. We value the importance of this first meeting and shared decision making as it is the foundation of future success for each family and child as they begin to develop a sense of belonging and security.

Ongoing scientific research proves that the first five years of a child’s life are critical in brain development. By providing rich learning experiences in a safe and nurturing environment each child develops a strong foundation of future learning skills as well as social and emotional abilities.

The development of the brain is use dependent. This means that it requires particular experiences and stimulation to form connections which correspond to specific skills/functions. Play is the basis of this stimulation and is the focus of our curriculum

This objective is achieved in our Centre by allowing the excitement of learning to develop by providing an interesting, stimulating and innovative environment that allows each child the freedom of choice and develops their curiosity. Learning through play helps each child master and repeat important skills in an unstructured manner. Our children area also introduced to sequential and structured learning within the core learning areas of Early Literacy and Language, Early Numeracy, Practical Life Skills, Music and Creative Expression, Sensorial exploration, Science, Physical Development and Emotional and Social Development.
