Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure

Introducing Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure

A NEW early learning centre has recently opened its doors in the Gold Coast Hinterland, with the likes of Emily Sky Fit, a well-regarded health and fitness mumprenuer, giving it her seal of approval.

Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure at Maudsland is taking early learning to new and impressive heights. Family owned and operated this stunning new location will be the sixth centre for the group. Featuring an interactive and nature based facility, purposely designed to give young minds a sense of wonder and ignite curiosity. Centre owner and approved provider, Lauren Hall, also lives in the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland with her husband and their young son. Lauren shares her family’s vision and the core company values with us.

“We know that the early learning years are so very important for our children, we have our own childhood memories and happy upbringings to thank for our values.” Lauren explains, “This is why we have designed the centre and our core values around providing the best educational and developmental opportunities to all children.” Sanctuary Maudsland offers children a very calm and nurturing environment to learn in, while remaining sympathetic of our natural surrounds. As with the other centres, Maudsland follows the national guidelines set out by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). The centre offers active lifestyle initiatives to all children, including sport, dance, yoga, music and environmentally sustainable programs including paddock to plate meals.

The paddock to plate meal experience is led by the centres onsite Chef, Adam Huffines. Adam has been the head Chef across a number of Gold Coast venues; he is passionate about fresh produce and educating young people about food. Adam has worked with Sanctuary’s preferred dietitian Jodie Wilson – from The Dietitian Studio, to ensure all meals meet the nutritional requirements of growing children at various ages.

NATURE INSPIRED PLAY

Featuring a timber play fort, water play creek bed, vegetable gardens and misting arbour, the outdoor play area is an impressive display of forethought and planning.

“We wanted to create a play area that encourages children to explore their natural environment. The playground at our Maudsland Centre was carefully designed and constructed to feature natural elements that allow sensory exploration. This gives children the chance to begin understanding and caring for their environment at an early age.” Said Lauren.

The internal spaces are equally impressive, featuring natural elements throughout, authentic resources and open-ended materials that inspire new learning pathways.

THE SANCTUARY STANDARD

“Through reflective practices, children are guided by their interests and needs, with plenty of opportunities to master new challenges,” said Lauren. “Our team of highly skilled early childhood educators help children to investigate and learn within a safe home-like environment. They are passionate about offering unique experiences and life skills to help pave the way for each child through to their schooling years and all the years ahead.”

Now welcoming families, the Sanctuary Maudsland has 7 beautifully styled rooms, catering for ages from 6 weeks – 5 years old.
