“We cannot speak more highly of this fabulous kindergarten... The educators are very professional, supportive and caring not only of the children in their care but of the family unit.” Parent feedback.

Our Early Learning Centre offers a warm and welcoming environment for young children and their families. We offer 15 hours of funded kindergarten for both three- and four-year-old kindergarten in a multi-age-based program. We highly value children as unique individuals and have a strong focus to build a child’s sense of identity, confidence and connection with their world.

Our highly qualified and experienced staff plan for children’s individual needs and interests while providing a nurturing environment where children feel safe and happy to play, learn and explore.

Research shows that high quality interactions from adult’s promotes a child’s developmental and learning outcomes. We work closely with families as the first teachers of their child and other professionals to provide children with the support they need to reach their potential.

Our play-based program is guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and incorporates a wide variety of play and learning experiences as well as focusing on specific skill development where children can flourish.

We welcome all children and families and is inclusive of children with disabilities and from diverse backgrounds.
We are very proud of our Centre and our high rating of EXCEEDING National Quality Standards.
