Southern River Early Learning
Cultivating social skills
Childcare offers much more than just a safe space for children while their parents work. It's a nurturing environment where kids develop crucial social skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
At Sonas, we bring children of different ages together to play and learn. This unique approach allows younger children to observe and learn from their older peers, while the older children gain valuable opportunities to lead and teach.
This intergenerational interaction is incredibly beneficial for all children, whether they have siblings or not. It provides a natural setting for them to play, share, and build relationships, fostering an organic understanding of respect and teamwork. Ultimately, it's a fun and enriching way for them to grow together.
Learning through play
When we, as adults, consider learning, our thoughts often turn to teaching and studying. However, children are capable of absorbing so much knowledge even before they begin school. Through engaging, hands-on, discovery-based play, children can ready themselves for their school years and future learning, all while nurturing their developing bodies and brains.
Our approach is firmly rooted in research, and we witness daily how children flourish through play. Our role is to enrich these learning opportunities, making sure that playtime is just as educational as it is enjoyable.
Clear communication
Childcare can be an emotional experience for both children and parents. At Sonas, we prioritise strong communication to support families every step of the way.
Our app provides regular updates, photos, and meal information, giving parents peace of mind throughout the day. This way, parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are well cared for and thriving.
Collaborative care
It takes a village to raise a child.
Our passionate Sonas team works closely together to provide a safe and joyful childcare experience. We become an essential part of every family’s village.
Every single team member is committed to delivering the highest standard of care and support, offering a stable foundation for children to flourish. Together, we create a nurturing community that uplifts every child and family.
