Facilities

the flex care program at Skole

Early childhood development is critically important. At Skole, our experienced teachers and staff help facilitate this period of learning, and that’s what separates us from traditional child care facilities.

With our New Beginnings program, your baby will be paired with a primary teacher who will provide personalized attention and nurture them through every milestone—within a caring and cohesive community.

Commercial kitchen and good nutrition

Healthy food and lifestyle choices

Our commercial kitchen enables our chef to prepare healthy and diverse food for our children, supporting good nutrition and their physical wellbeing. Vegetables and herbs grown by the children can be used by the chef demonstrating garden to table concepts and healthy food choices.

Built with the chef in mind our kitchen is of commercial quality with large preparation spaces, quality appliances, sizeable safe food storage appliances and high-quality cleaning and hygiene equipment.

Our kitchen is located on the second floor along-side the communal dining area.  A step to servery counter increases children connection with the kitchen and a better understanding of healthy food and hygiene practices.  A sliding window allows children the see into the kitchen from the outdoor learning rea to engaged with chef and the kitchen.
