Our commitment to excellence is showcased through the implementation of the renowned ‘Reggio Emilia Approach’ – a cutting-edge educational system crafted for the unique developmental needs of children aged 6 months to 6 years.

The synergy of these influences forms the foundation for a rich, co-constructed learning experience that not only fosters enjoyment but also lays a robust groundwork for each child’s potential.

Spread across diverse Sydney neighbourhoods, our centres provide an inclusive environment where we recognize and celebrate the exceptional capabilities inherent in every child. Our vision extends beyond location boundaries, aspiring to see each child within our network reaching for the stars. A positive and engaging learning environment remains at the core of our mission, ensuring that every centre, regardless of its Sydney locale, contributes to the holistic development and future success of the children under our care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ages do you cater for?

We welcome children from 6 months to 6 years of age, with dedicated learning environments for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Our programs are designed to support each stage of your child’s development.

The Reggio Emilia Approach is a child-centred philosophy that views every child as capable, curious, creative, and full of potential. It recognises that children are naturally driven to explore, question, experiment, and make sense of the world around them.

At Reggio Emilia Early Learning Centre, we believe children are active participants in their own learning journey. Our educators take the time to truly listen, observe, and understand each child’s unique interests, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves. These observations guide our educators in creating meaningful learning experiences that spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and inspire children to become confident thinkers and lifelong learners.

Through play, exploration, collaboration, art, investigation, and hands-on experiences, children are encouraged to ask questions, solve problems, share ideas, and discover their own capabilities. Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed as the “third teacher”, offering children opportunities to explore, experiment, and create in spaces that reflect their interests and inspire imagination. The Reggio Emilia Approach celebrates the idea that every child has a voice, a unique way of learning, and endless possibilities waiting to be discovered. We nurture not only what children learn, but also who they become — confident, capable, creative, and connected individuals ready to thrive in the world around them.

Simply submit an enquiry through our website or contact our friendly enrolments team on 1300330666 to arrange a tour. Our enrolment team will guide you through every step of the process, including availability, orientation, and Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

Absolutely! We encourage all families to visit our centre, meet our educators, explore our learning spaces, and ask any questions before making a decision.

The Child Care Subsidy is a government payment that helps eligible families reduce the cost of childcare. The amount you receive depends on your family’s circumstances. Our team is happy to help you understand your estimated out-of-pocket fees.

Our two-year comprehensive Preschool Program is designed to give children the confidence, skills, and independence they need for a successful transition to school. Through meaningful, play-based learning experiences, children develop early literacy and numeracy skills, problem-solving abilities, resilience, and strong social and emotional wellbeing.

To further support school readiness, we offer:

  • Lunch Box Program to help children build independence and prepare for school routines.
  • Transition to School Statements, completed in collaboration with families to share each child’s strengths, interests, and learning with their future school.
  • Ongoing Learning and Development Assessments, allowing educators to monitor each child’s progress and tailor experiences to support their individual growth.
  • Opportunities to develop self-help skills, confidence, communication, and a love of learning, ensuring children are ready to thrive in their first year of school.

 

We believe every child is capable, curious, and full of potential. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, passionate educators, beautiful learning environments, strong family partnerships, and focus on meaningful, play-based learning create a nurturing space where children can thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning.
