The Active Kids Learn and Grow Program
The Active Kids Group Learn and Grow program is designed to nurture each child’s natural abilities and interests in fitness, dance, drama, and STEM through fun and interactive learning experiences.
This program is delivered by our dedicated educators across all 15 of our locations. Throughout each term, families receive lesson plans and resources, encouraging everyone to actively participate in the early childhood learning journey.
STEM
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) —is an essential part of our early learning approach. Our STEM education program encourages children to develop critical thinking skills, engage in hands-on problem solving, and explore their environment with curiosity and creativity. Delivered across all 15 of our childcare centres in Sydney, our educators facilitate interactive activities that inspire children to ask questions, experiment, and build a strong foundation for future learning in these important fields.
Our STEM program is inspired by your child’s natural curiosity, encouraging them to explore scientific ideas through playful, hands-on experiences. It introduces children to the basics of scientific thinking in a way that feels fun and engaging. One of the key benefits of STEM learning is that it nurtures a genuine love of learning—when children are involved in meaningful, stimulating activities, they become eager to explore new ideas and concepts. By weaving STEM into our early childhood programs, we aim to spark a lifelong passion for discovery, problem-solving, and creative thinking.

Dance and Drama
The Learn and Grow childcare program is a vibrant dance and music experience offered to all Active Kids families on designated days. Designed for children aged 1–6, classes combine jazz dance, musicality, imaginative play, and group interaction in fun 15–30 minute sessions, all aligned with EYLF outcomes to support age-appropriate learning and development.
Fitness
Our fitness program encourages healthy physical activity habits in children through a variety of sports, including soccer, AFL, basketball, hockey, T-ball, athletics, and gross motor fitness. Staying active supports physical, social, and emotional development, helping children build confidence and lifelong healthy habits. Regular exercise also improves concentration, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing, making it a vital part of early childhood development.
Languages
At Active Kids Group, we recognise and celebrate the diverse communities that make up our country and contribute to its vibrant future. Through the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program — a government-supported initiative included in our Preschool curriculum — children are introduced to new languages from an early age, helping them build cultural awareness and curiosity about the world around them.
The ELLA program introduces children to new languages using hands-on, play-based learning
This program is thoughtfully aligned with the EYLF and guided by our qualified ELLA Champions — experienced early childhood teachers who design purposeful and engaging language experiences tailored to each age group.
Through songs, games, stories, and interactive activities, children not only begin to understand a new language but also build essential communication and social skills. These experiences nurture a deeper appreciation for different cultures and the diverse world around them.
Each centre chooses a language that reflects the local community, making every session meaningful and relevant to the children’s everyday lives — strengthening both cultural understanding and community connection.
Learning a second language boosts cognitive development, memory, and communication skills in young children. It also promotes cultural awareness, empathy, and a global perspective by encouraging appreciation of diverse cultures.
What Our PARENTS Are Saying
We are very happy with the learning Alba has had during the first term of Grow and Learn.
I cannot talk about the French class, as Alba is not in on Fridays. Would be great if they could all be Mo-Thu!
We have seen in her more interest and clear improvement in catching/throwing balls, balance, jumping with both feet together, jumping on one foot only, and other fitness competencies. Great job Dani! As an idea, maybe including a sack-race would be fun; I know she has been trying to do it at home and I think she would enjoy the competition with her colleagues.
Laura & Rad
Firstly we feel very fortunate that Archie attends on all three days with these activities.
He loves the dancing and sport classes! Talks about them when he gets home and remembers the names of songs from the dancing.
I think French has only just begun, and he is getting used to it. A little hard to remember all the phrases but the nouns etc he seems to get quite well. I’m sure he will become quite a fan just like the others.
Matt Campbell
Both of my children have thoroughly enjoyed dance and drama with Miss Sara. They have always come home and openly shared what they did. Being able to use their imagination is so important.
I think the learn and grow program really helps the children. It compliments what the educators are teaching the children.
Kind regards, Judith
My daughter (aged 2.5yrs) has loved Mr Dani’s Fitness classes at daycare! Each evening after the class and of her own accord, she teaches me some of the things she has learnt in Fitness that day. I have seen her confidence and physical skills develop wonderfully over the past term, particularly her balance and throwing & catching. Thank you so much, Mr Dani!
