About
Amaze Early Education Philosophy
Early childhood is a time of rapid growth both mentally and physically. We recognise the significance of these years in laying the foundations for schooling and life. As your child moves through these years, the centre aims to provide a secure, stimulating, caring, warm and friendly environment for young children and their families.
We provide appropriate developmental and educational programmes for all children. These programmes are underpinned by the Early Years Learning Framework. The experiences offered contribute to the continuing growth of young children’s knowledge of themselves and the world around them.
The aims of the Programme are to:
- Promote the child’s development in each foundation learning area: sense of self and others, social living and learning, thinking, communicating, cultural, environmental, health and physical understanding.
- Foster those abilities, skills and attitudes that will assist in further learning.
- Complement and build on learning that has already occurred at home and in the community.
- Assist each child to make a smooth transition from home to school, with a gradual introduction to school life e.g. co-operative learning in the classroom and familiarisation with physical amenities.
- Cater for individual needs and interests through a child centred and carefully planned play environment, where the child feels comfortable, accepted and secure.
- Where applicable, utilise and extend on the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines and Early Years Learning Framework.
- Use a variety of equipment and materials and to experiment in its use.
- Use the imagination and creative tendency that is evident in young children.
- Develop language skills and understanding of concepts.
- Develop an acceptance of routines and ability to participate in the daily life of the child’s class.
- Allow time to work on projects of interest to the child.
- Allow time to interact with a small group and within a whole class and to encourage individual contributions within both contexts.
- Allow time for play where adult supervision does not intrude.
- Develop both pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills.
Childcare Programmes
Early Years (6 weeks - 3 years)
The Amaze early years programme:
- Recognises individual differences and sets appropriate goals for each child.
- Educates the whole child – physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually.
- Responds to the needs of the child.
-
Recognises children learn to co-operate, problem solve and think laterally.
They learn language skills, basic mathematical concepts, persistence and concentration,
the value of curiosity, self-confidence, co-ordination, healthy attitudes and values.
These skills are built on in the Kindergarten programme.
Childcare Programmes
Kindergarten (3–5 years)
The kindergarten programme is provided for children in the year before they start school. We offer students a variety of developmentally, socially and culturally appropriate experiences. This programme is delivered by approved Early Childhood Education teachers. The Kindergarten Learning Guidelines underpin this programme.

- Indoor activities

Our twins have been at Amaze for 4 months and we have had a fantastic experience😀. The staff are caring, helpful and professional. We love getting our daily photos through the Amaze app on our phones. We can see that our kids are happy and having a great day😀. The playground area is age appropriate and the indoor activities in the classroom keep the children engaged and learning.

We love having Lumi at Amaze. We feel that she is really well cared for and the educators are actually interested in her. We really love having Lumi under the care of wonderful educators like Miss Shauna, Kelly, Tanesha and Remi to name a few.
The payment set up has been a little confusing and we seemed to be told lots of different things by different people when we first started so that was a little stressful. But Miss Shauna ended up helping us sort that out.
The facilities are beautiful and Lumi has learnt so much and is developing so well already. I love how the children are taught about other cultures and I love being sent photos of Lumis day. Overall love Amaze!!

I have nothing but praise for my Amaze staff, they always go out of their way to help me and other families, they work with parents to help our kids achieve their goals and it is always a happy environment, I know my son especially loves Lauren, as I do she had been amazing with my boy and the trouble I have had over the past couple years from broken arms, temper tantrums and is just an amazing leader. I highly recommend their service and can not praise them enough.
THANKYOU for everything you all do!

I'm so glad I found Amaze Silkstone. It makes having to go to work so much easier when I can be confident that my boys are happy, safe, and above all are learning so many new and exciting things every day. Communication from the centre is excellent, the daily emails and photos are a highlight.

Amaze education in Silkstone have shown me that there is a difference between ‘child care’ and ‘early education.’
They put an incredible amount of care and enthusiasm into educating young children and I am so proud to see how far my own son has come in his development thanks to Amaze.
