Our program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, a world-renowned teaching and learning philosophy. Widely recognised as best practice in early childhood education, the Reggio Emilia educational project offers an education that respects children and their rights as citizens. We see each child as competent, powerful and full of potential, and we place each child at the centre of their own learning. Children are encouraged to brainstorm and discuss areas of interest as well as develop skills in problem solving, hypothesising, critical reflection and collaboration. Our specialist program includes music, library, movement skills, creative arts, and mindfulness.

The Reggio Emilia approach also emphasises the importance of the physical learning environment to stimulate inquiry, and the centre itself is architecturally designed to inspire creativity, exploration and curiosity in young children.

The ELC program follows the Early Years Learning Framework and, following an assessment by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority, was rated as Exceeding National Quality Standards. This assessment confirmed what we already know to be true – our committed staff and leading educational practice provide young children with a stimulating program that enhances learning and development, and ensures every child is cared for and encouraged to thrive.
