The program introduces floatation aids, such as kickboards, to develop confidence and establish a streamlined body position.
Small class sizes ensure children receive maximum attention.

At Pakenham Twinklekids Early Learning Centre, our educators develop a Sports program to teach children the basic sports and development skills, giving children a chance to try a number of sports in a safe environment.

In our Education settings our program is developed to meet the Educational Framework underpinning this sector (EYLDF & MYTOP).
At Bellarine Twinklekids Early Learning Centre, we collaborate with Happy Feet Fitness, where they hold a regularly scheduled activity at Bellarine Twinklekids Early Learning Centre. Our award-winning program draws on the fun of movement and dance, the creativity of music, and the joy of active play. Each week we deliver a new and exciting interactive themed adventure and all of our classes are specially designed to encourage participation, expression and social interaction. Children shine the most when they feel like they belong and Happy Feet classes create a non-competitive, safe, happy environment for all children to learn, laugh and grow.
One of the unique things about Happy Feet Fitness is that we create all of our own music, class themes and content. This combined with our thorough understanding of the EYLF principals has allowed us to create a program perfectly matched to required learning outcomes set out by the framework. We are continuously creating original music and content designed to engage young minds. Our handmade props and costumes bring our classes to life and fire up the children’s imaginations and get them excited about learning and exercise.
At Twinklekids Early Learning Centre, the kinder children do bush kinder every week, where they go out into our local community and explore our natural environment. The development of bush kinders reflects the mounting body of evidence that outdoor activities such as exploring natural environments, are beneficial to children and contribute to improving children’s health and wellbeing. An educational program is planned, documented and delivered to children attending the bush kinder and should enhance children’s learning and development and be based on an approved learning framework (section 168; regulations 73 to 76).
At Twinklekids Early Learning Centre, we are giving preschool children the opportunity to learn in another language. A quality language program exposes children to the many benefits of learning additional languages at a young age. These include:
- Increased reading and writing skills
- Cognitive flexibility
- Strengthened brain development
- Improved problem-solving skills.
A quality language program reflects children’s views and actively seek their feedback on learning experiences in the kindergarten. It is based on the developmental needs, interests and experiences of each child and take into account their individual differences.
At Twinklekids Early Learning Centre, we occasionally teach kinder children music lessons. In our music program, kindergarten children develop a beginning recognition of musical notation. Our music program features many activities that help brain development and acceleration in young children. The vibrant and contemporary flair of the program engages children on a number of levels. It lays the foundation for a positive relationship with music that they will enjoy throughout their lives. Through the use of songs, instruments, play and props, your child will quickly develop their motor skills, aural and pitch, coordination, imagination and improvisation. Their musical skills, knowledge and creativity will progress as they go through the next stage of their lives.
