Early Learning Centre

Our Early Learning Centre (ELC) welcomes boys and girls from two years of age.

The centre is open weekdays from 7.30am – 6.00pm, 50 weeks of the year. Within our ELC we provide a Kindergarten program staffed by qualified teachers and child care workers during School Terms.

The Centre is uniquely designed to enhance the learning environment for our youngest learners.

A dedicated cook provides a nutritious and wholesome lunch, and morning and afternoon tea for the children.

Child-centered learning

The Teaching and Learning program supports play-based, child-centered learning. 

Qualified teachers and child-care trained professionals support the children in each of our five rooms.

Our staff members are:

• trained in the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP)
• inspired by the philosophy of Reggio Emilia from Italy, which is recognised for its innovative approach to early childhood education

We believe these approaches give our students the best possible start – not just for schooling – but for life.

Aims of our Program

Through the program and special design of our centre we aim to:

• create an atmosphere where children feel respected and loved
• nurture each child's self-worth
• guide each child's experimental play to promote understanding
• develop confidence through child-centred play
• develop effective communication skills
• encourage each child to explore, invent, discover, question and experiment
• allow children to learn through touching, moving, listening, seeing, and hearing.
