Early Learning Journey

We recognise that each child’s early learning journey is unique. Our programs and curriculum are guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia. Our thoughtfully designed environments are safe and nurturing, filled with educational opportunities that support growth and creativity. We aim to instil a lifelong passion for learning by fostering each child’s sense of belonging, being and becoming.

Our nurturing, nursery environment is where our youngest learners, from six weeks to one year old start their early learning journey. We prioritise fostering a strong sense of belonging and building meaningful connections with children and their families.
