The Early Learning Centre operates Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 3.30pm, throughout the year, closing on statutory days and between Christmas and New Year only. We continue to offer up to 30 hours free ECE for 3 and 4 year olds.
Boasting a spacious outdoor area perfect for developing important gross motor and coordination skills, we promote running, playing, dancing, and exploring.
We love dressing up and hosting shared lunches, pet days, wheel days, and discos. Families are encouraged to participate and contribute knowledge to enrich children's learning experiences.
