Emerging literacy
Rhyme, story, symbol recognition and mark-making, the joyful roots of reading and writing.

Program · 2.5 – 3.5/4yr
The Karil Room. Where early literacy, big friendships and outdoor lunches all happen at once.
In this room
This is the room where curiosity gets loud. Children are talking, testing, negotiating and creating, sometimes all at the same time. Our educators guide the chaos into a rhythm that builds early literacy, numeracy and social-emotional skills.
It's also a room that loves the garden. Green Earth Kids activities, cooking with what we grow, and story time under the trees.
Highlights
Rhyme, story, symbol recognition and mark-making, the joyful roots of reading and writing.
Wildlife visits, garden care and conservation stories anchored by our Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary partnership.
Emotional literacy is taught here as intentionally as counting. Kind, brave humans are made this way.
Come and see for yourself
The best way to feel it is to walk it. Meet the educators, wander the gardens, breathe in the bushland.
