Early Learning & Care Centres

Our Early Learning Centres are purpose-built preschools and long day care centres adjacent to our local Catholic primary schools and are open to everyone in the community. You or your child do not need to be Catholic, nor is it a requirement to go on to attend the Catholic school.

Warm, home-like atmospheres and inclusive play-based learning is at the core of our philosophy and practice. We believe that children thrive and learn best when they feel safe, supported and respected for who they are, and when their learning is guided by their own interests and choices.

We pride ourselves on providing services that are distinctively welcoming. Our learning environments are naturally beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. We create positive environments where children develop trust, feel safe, and are happy and content. Our centres are havens for creativity, fun, laughter and enjoyment!

We respect and value all children for their unique qualities, individuality, diversity, interests, abilities and characteristics. We aim to support children as they begin their educational journey so they can grow and develop into strong and confident people and our experienced staff deliver a program that is designed to maximise each child’s learning through a play-based approach that is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

Childhood is a time to be, to seek and to make meaning of the world.

How we're nurturing the next generation ...

All our centres provide stimulating, supportive and safe environments, where play and discovery allow for children to learn, problem solve, think creatively and grow. Our parents feel happy and secure knowing their child is in a warm, friendly and welcoming environment that promotes a sense of family.
