About Us
About Eastwood Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten
Eastwood Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten is a family-owned and operated centre that offers high-quality child care and kindergarten for families in Bairnsdale and its surrounding suburbs.
Our dedicated team of educators and family-centred management have intentionally created a space that supports children’s holistic learning and development.
A sensory-rich natural environment, resources and opportunities for experiences are thoughtfully interwoven to engage children and help them achieve their potential.
Our values-led approach
We believe in the importance of creating a supportive and nurturing play environment for your child. Our values are reflected in our philosophy, curriculum and the environment – as well as our relationships with families and the wider community.
Our Philosophy
We believe that children are active participants in their own learning. By creating an engaging and supportive environment, we help children develop self-help skills and empower them to become independent learners.
The Curriculum
Our curriculum is tailored to your child’s unique abilities, skills and interests. Our play-based approach empowers children to be themselves while learning and developing new skills. Learn more about our emergent curriculum and programs.
The Environment
Our natural play spaces provide opportunities for children to explore organic, recycled and sustainable resources. Children enjoy open-ended experiences both indoors and outdoors, learning to appreciate and care for the environment and all living things.
Our Team
Our team of passionate, warm and committed educators embed our philosophy and vision into all aspects of our program.
Our educators develop strong and respectful relationships with children, giving them a safe and familiar environment where they can learn, grow and have a sense of wellbeing and belonging. We aim to go above the child-to-educator ratio, meaning you can count on a better standard of care for your loved one.
With our low staff turnover and supportive team environment for educators, you can build long-standing relationships with your child’s educators.
