These include kindergarten, both four and three-year-old, long day care and occasional care in seven local townships.
NERPSA services are designed to meet government guidelines to support children’s participation in high-quality early childhood education that are staffed by fully qualified, extremely experienced professional early childhood teachers and educators.
Research demonstrates that during the early years it is vitally important that young children’s lives are enriched by quality play-based intentional learning because:
A child’s brain develops faster in the first five years of life than at any other time.
Early education helps set children up with a love of learning and lays the foundation for a child’s future learning journey.
The early years are when the child develops relationships with others, building skills in emotional and social development.
Attendance at early childhood services helps create a smoother positive transition into primary school.

NERPSA services offer programs that are based on children’s interests, strengths and learning needs, as determined by its teaching team in collaboration with parents.
NERPSA services use the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework.
These are the approved “curriculums”, at state and national levels, for the early years of learning.
Along with these, NERPSA early childhood services use the National Quality Framework, which includes the National Quality Standards.
All together this means that NERPSA early childhood services offer high-quality programs that meet, and often exceed, the standard benchmarks, ensuring that children in NERPSA services are receiving the best start to their development and learning.
