The Y Whittlesea is constantly reviewing and evaluating its curriculum to ensure we are providing high quality programs and services. We hope to create a curriculum that exposes children to learning experiences to help them transition into school and also use later on in life.
We are very excited to introduce our suite of Y Programs that will be embedded into our services over the coming months and enhance your child’s learning opportunities. These additional programs will bear no cost to families and are fully funded and supported by Y Whittlesea.
Y Chef
The first program to be implemented is our Y Chef Program.
Y Chef will teach children about a range of foods, where they come from and how they work to keep our bodies healthy. Children will also learn about safety in the kitchen and how to prepare meals!
The program will be delivered by the centre’s chef or in sessional kindergarten by the kindergarten teacher.
This program will also work in conjunction with our Y Gardener Program where children will grow fresh produce in the centre’s veggie patch.
