Magic Pudding Child Care Centre 1 McKee Street, Ultimo, New South Wales 2007

Welcome to Magic Pudding Child Care Centre, a premier establishment located at 1 McKee St, Ultimo, Australia. Situated just 400m from the main Broadway campus of UTS, we are a point of interest for families seeking high-quality early childhood education.

At Magic Pudding, we are passionate about the first 2000 days of a child's life and understand the immense impact it has on their development. As early childhood professionals, we prioritize the holistic growth of each child in our care. From birth to five years old, we nurture their cognitive, language, social, emotional, and physical development.

We firmly believe that play is a form of research, and therefore, we provide our children with endless learning opportunities. Through individual and group activities, we encourage curiosity, joy, resilience, kindness, and a sense of belonging. Our routines, transitions, rituals, learning environments, and educational programs are designed to uphold and respect children's rights and dignity.

Parents have praised our educators for teaching kindness and compassion, preparing children for their transition to big school. Our indoor and outdoor learning environments are spacious, vibrant, and responsive to the interests and strengths of each child. We prioritize relationships, inclusion, and interactions among peers, ensuring that all children can explore and enjoy our outdoor spaces.

Cultural diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our philosophy. We celebrate the lives and identities of children and families at Magic Pudding, incorporating different cultures into our educational programs and learning environments. We actively encourage families to share their culture with us and engage with support services and therapists to promote inclusion for children with diverse backgrounds.

In our outdoor learning environments, children are encouraged to take risks, climb, and engage with recycled materials. With raised garden beds, stingless bees, chickens, worm farms, sand, bark, water, and dirt, we foster their connection to the living and natural world, instilling a commitment to sustainable living and learning.

Our center also values the rich history and culture of the First Nations people. Through our engagement with local Elder Uncle Jimmy Smith, children learn about the Gadigal land, its people, and their culture. We acknowledge and pay respect to the First Nations people and the Gadigal land upon which Magic Pudding stands.

Building strong partnerships is crucial to us, and we actively collaborate with UTS, the local community, and beyond. Children have the opportunity to visit the university, connect with different people, and engage in various learning experiences. We consider all stakeholders to be an integral part of our center's philosophy.
