TEACHING AND LEARNING
Our Early Learning Centre is child focused and allows our little learners to explore their environment in a safe and supportive environment. Curriculum at the Early Learning Centre is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and our Centre adheres to the National Quality Standard. We have a strong play based focus and learning activities are fluid and organic, directed by the children’s interests developing creativity and wonderment. Our teachers and educators gently guide and nurture children through activities that encourage social, communication, physical and academic development. The Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten Programs champion those important school readiness skills that promote literacy and numeracy skills.
OPERATIONS
The service is approved for long day care allowing eligible families to claim Child Care Supplement (CCS) to offset tuition fees. We also understand that busy working families need flexibility in their lives so our programs, including our Kindergarten Program, operates 5 days a week maximising the learning opportunities for your child. We also offer an innovative and engaging Holiday, After School and Before School service with bus pickups.

CARE APPROACH
Our teachers plan lessons around a Christian worldview underpinned by our CARE approach:
COURTESY
I respect others. “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” (Matthew 7:12)
ATTITUDE
I can do it. “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13)
RESILIENCE
I can overcome. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
EXCELLENCE
I do my best. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” (Colossians 3:23)
